Kokomo Perspective reports on the Indiana Department of Homeland Security’s idea for a great Christmas gift this year:
“We know that the ability of individuals and families to be self-sustaining for at least three days would be vital during the response to a large scale disaster or emergency,” said Joe Wainscott, executive director of IDHS. “Emergency Supply Kits in households are an important part of this preparedness. An Emergency Supply Kit is a collection of basic supplies that are stored together in case of an emergency. If you know of a family or individual that does not already have an emergency supply kit, these would be great gift ideas.”
That’s actually a great idea, if you have friends or family members that haven’t started to take those first steps. When they see what’s in a custom-made kit, maybe they’ll start to think more seriously about emergency preparedness. Personally, I’d recommend the “Ready to Roll” kit, but then I’m biased on the issue. Just make sure that the person you’re giving it to has a really big stocking (it weighs about 60 pounds).
And yes (another shameless plug) we have a special 10% discount going on at 1-800-PREPARE with survival kits, gear and equipment all on sale for the holiday season.
