Family/Household Incident Preparation

Introduction

Disasters that affect your dwelling and your home life fall into this category. If you are single, living alone, or living distant from relatives and close friends, preparing for these incidents may rest on your shoulders. For others, preparing for these types of emergencies will include spouses, children, and other family members or household residents. 

Hunger / Thirst

Food and water are the most important essentials for sustaining life. When they are in short supply, all other worries, fears, and problems become secondary to basic survival. After disasters, especially community or regional disasters, it may take time for responders to assist you, so it's important to prepare 72-hour kits and a minimum supply of food and water while you wait for aid.
