We all think of disasters and emergencies as things that happen to someone else in another part of the world or country; however it does not take a major Tsunami, Hurricane or Earthquake to need emergency supplies that can last at least 3 days or 72 hours. It could be a run off the highway accident that leaves you and your family trapped in your vehicle for 8 hours, a day or more. It could be a snow or a wind storm on your drive home from work that leaves you trapped for hours or having to walk home. Simple incidents like often leave thousands in need of basic emergency preparedness supplies each year.
