Quick-hit checklist of items to have on hand in the event of an emergency:
1. Flashlight and a portable battery-operated lantern
2. Battery powered or hand-crank radio
3. Extra batteries
4. First aid kit and a 7-day supply of any medications or medical items that your family uses regularly
5. Extra cash--small bills in case ATMs and credit card machines aren't working
6. At least one gallon of water per person per day, enough to last two weeks
7. Foods that have an extended shelf life, like dry beans, canned tuna and salmon, pasta, dried fruit, and shelf-stable milk--enough for two weeks
8. Disposable plates, flatware, and a way to heat up canned goods, such as a small camp stove
