Building a kit may seem overwhelming, but you may already have parts of a kit and don’t even know it. For example, you may have flashlights and batteries or an extra blanket and water in your car. 

Building a kit is similar to developing a plan. It involves figuring out what you would need and making sure it’s where you need it, when you need it. Have emergency supplies at home, in your car, and if you need to leave your home quickly.
