Family Disaster Supplies
& Preparedness Calendar
PREPAREDNESS
The Family Disaster Supplies & Preparedness Calendar is intended to help you take appropriate preparedness actions
and create a 3–7 day disaster supply kit before the next emergency happens. Using the calendar, your family can as-
semble an emergency kit in small steps over a six month period. Check off each of the items you collect or the actions you
take during the week. Supplies may be stored all together in a large plastic garbage can with wheels, putting the heavy
items at the bottom. When medical supplies, flashlights and emergency items are placed near the top, they can be
located quickly for inspecting and restocking. Remember to rotate your perishable supplies and change water every six
months.
Review this calendar every six months.
For example, each time you change your clock, review this list.
Note: You should store 1–2 gallons of water per person for each day. This water is for consumption and sanitation. For
this reason the calendar repeats the need to purchase water several times.

Inspect all food for signs of spoilage before use.

Mark all foods with purchase date. Use ink or a marking pen. Place new items at the back/bottom of the storage area/container,
