answer:I’m a worried wart and the first thing I tell to everybody who announces they are moving is to purchase a good emergency kit. They rarely listen to me, but I swear they will come in handy one day. You should have a small kit on hand (bandages, swabs, tweezers, etc.), one in your car, and one in your home. Here a good, hefty emergency kit that should provide some ideas. Bottled water should be replaced periodically. There are also smaller personal emergency kits that you can put together if you have multiple people per household (and they should be placed in an easy to access location in the house.) There are medical supply stores you can purchase items from. I had a good one bookmarked, but lost it when I had to wipe my laptop clean. I’m sure you can find some in a couple searches after you’ve gathered a checklist of items to purchase. I know people rarely think about it, but you should also have a change of clothing already set aside that can be easily grabbed in the event of an emergency. Little things like this are good to think of in advance. This is an Earthquake Safety list. My house if far from earthquake safe, but we rarely get more than aftershocks here. I wish everyone who was in, or knows someone who was in, the New Zealand eartquake the best of health.
