Emergency Planning & Preparedness

Car accidents, house fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE are all examples of disasters that can happen at any time with out warning. Some of these are common emergencies that people around the world face every day and some of these could be considered complex humanitarian emergencies. No matter the case, it is always important to be prepared for anything. A lot of us have an idea of what we would do in a given emergency situation but are we actually prepared? That is why I would like to focus on the importance of emergency kits.
Making your own emergency kit forces you to think of yourself in the emergency situation you are planning for. How do we know what to put in these emergency kits though? Here are a few specific web sites that list some important emergency supplies for given situations.
