Making a simple 72 hour kit

The following was taken from www.lds.org. Having a 72 hour kit has been on my mind for some time now. I'm sharing this information in the hope that it will inspire you all to make and keep one handy.

Your family can be prepared by storing basic emergency supplies in one convenient place. You can gather your own emergency items, such as:

An extra change of clothing

A sweater or coat, hat, and gloves

Your scriptures

Your journal

Toothpaste, a toothbrush, a hairbrush, soap, and a washcloth

A flashlight

A whistle

Emergency contact information

72 hours’ worth of food and water for each person and pet

Blankets and sheets (for warmth or carrying someone who is hurt)

Puzzles, games, and books
