	Should You Stay At Home During A Disaster? There are some things your really need if you are going to stay at home during any disaster. Plan to have at least enough food and water to last 3 to 5 days. Clean Water Food First Aid Kit Building Materials Electricity and Natural Gas Food Food is an area that is constantly changing as supplies are used and restocked. A disaster will not wait for you to go to the store so you can stock up. Did you ever notice that when the media announces a problem, everyone runs to the store to stock up on water, milk and bread. If you are not one the early birds, you are out of luck. Electricity and Natural Gas Electricity and natural gas have become so reliable that we no longer think about them. They are just always on. What would happen in your area if the gas line broke or power plant or long haul power lines went down? How long would it take the utility company to get them repaired? These problems are outside the realm of problems you can control. It is, however, in your control to get a generator to keep your refrigerator/freezer or a water pump working. Just make sure it is connected to your home in compliance with local electrical codes. The secret is knowing what your limitations are and protecting your property to that point.
