This is Vanese Ferguson with Coffee Talk. Well, if ever there was a time to be convinced having an emergency kit in your home was necessary, this past weekend would do it. The Canadian Red Cross recommends keeping a disaster preparedness kit in your home with enough supplies to meet your household’s needs for at least three days. If you’re up north, they suggest at least 10 days. They suggest water and food that will not spoil, a flashlight and extra batteries, an extra cellphone charger or battery pack, extra eyeglasses or contact lenses, personal hygiene items, perhaps maybe important documentation for the family like insurance papers. How about extra keys for your house and your vehicle and a first aid kit. Plus, if you’ve got pets – we’ve got three. It seems like a lot. But at the end of the day having a conversation with a friend of mine on the weekend we were both going okay I’ve got a cell phone but what if I can’t power it back up because the power isn’t back on. These are really important things to think of especially in light of now what is six confirmed tornadoes on Friday, two confirmed on Saturday, it looks like a plough wind went through Kinistino on Sunday and another five locations are under investigation. Everyone is going to do what they’re going to do but I decided to put power bars and protein shakes along with a case of water in a basement room with no windows.
