Emergency Supplies

Once again, it's time for our annual issue featuring suppliers of emergency supplies as well as the ready.gov checklist. This is a much requested edition of our newsletter, and we hope you will find it useful. Please note, however, that the inclusion of a supplier in the newsletter is not an endorsement, but simply an acknowledgement that these providers have supplies available. If you're considering getting your emergency kits together, see what's offered here and also try looking for "emergency supplies" with your favorite search engine.

The ready.gov web site provides us with a checklist to guide us in creating emergency kits. (Item #1)   This supplier provides a variety of goods and information that might be helpful to you as you put your kits together. (Item #2)   Here you'll find items you need for your emergency kits, plus some suggestions for gifts to help make others safer. (Item #3)  

This supplier specializes in complete 72-hour kits - enough supplies to last for 72 hours. (Item #4)   Here's another supplier of all types of materials and kits to get you through a crisis. (Item #5)   Don't forget water-here's all you need to know about preparing and storing it. (Item #6)  

As always, we look forward to hearing your comments & insights regarding business continuity. If you have a topic you'd like us to cover, email me at [email protected].
