Start Stocking Food

[Emman]

One thing I did recently was to make a checklist of emergency items to take in case of having to flee from the home. I'm also in the Pacific NW where it was stated is an earthquake zone, which is true. There is also Mt. Rainier, which is considered the most dangerous volcano in N. America. In the heat of a crisis, having a checklist focuses one's thoughts and allows efficient action to take place.

Here's an example or our checklist.
