72 hour disaster preparedness kits
Our hearts grieve for those affected by the earthquake and tsunami. The light in all of this is the outpouring of help and support worldwide. Our family will be giving to the Rose Charities who deliver effective, sustainable aid directly to those in need, with minimal bureaucracy and to the Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support which is a coalition of three groups – HEART-Tokushima, Animal Garden Niigata, and Japan Cat Network – has united to provide shelter, rescue, and an exchange of information for animals of Japan’s earthquake and tsunami.
Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support
This tradegy is an important reminder for all or us to prepare for disasters. Please join SALI in the following weeks as we walk you through putting together a 72 hour disaster preparedness kit for every member of your family – two-legged and four-legged.
Why 72 hours?
If an emergency happens in your community, it may take emergency help some time to reach you. You should be prepared to take care of yourself and your family for a minimum of 72 hours.
It can be overwhelming putting the kits together, so we thought it would work better if we broke it down into smaller steps week by week.
