The time honored boy scout motto is "Be Prepared." The time is now to prepare for an emergency in life. By having a basic supply of food, water and a 72 hour emergency kit you will give your family peace of mind in a disaster, job loss or unforeseen catastrophe. A little planning now goes a long way. After all, it wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.
All is safely gathered in
