The Southwest Utah Public Health Department has compiled a Family Emergency Preparedness Guide. It is a concise, easy-to read resource that includes information on preparing for and coping with a wide range of emergencies or disasters, including a pandemic. The booklet also includes great lists for preparing 72-hour kits. You can download a copy of the guide here.
There’s a list of items you DON’T need to buy packed for long-term storage, ’cause they don’t go bad. Just put them in jars. Save $$!
