Would you be ready for an emergency?

This past summer with the storms that passed through Tucson and caused flooding and power outages, gave me some thoughts and concerns for my family.  Am I prepared for any type of disaster or stoppage of services?  What if a windshear took out my electricity for two days or more, am I prepared?  Are you prepared?  Here is a link to the Department of Homeland Security for a list of suggest items you should have for any emergency.  I have one item that I plan to add to this list which is a generator and enough gas for 3 or more days.  You can keep your refrigerator and freezer going for 5 or more days with proper use of the generator.  How about a big box fan if it is summer?  At least you will have moving air.  We don’t need to have a national emergency to need this “kit”.  Get yours started soon!
