SUPPLIES FOR COMFORT AND SAFETY
http://www.planforflu.com/emergency_supply_list
Here is a list of supplies you might need in an emergency situation, in addition to the things listed on the other menu pages.
Some you might not need if you are indoors. But what if you have to leave? The idea that your family could be quarantined in an area where there is looting and civil unrest is especially troubling.
This list has many suggestions, but of course every family has different needs and wants, not to mention different age groups. Just be sure that you have separate 'to-go' bags that are easily accessible with absolute necessities in them, and of course, water and your water filter. Many of these items are already in your house, it's just a matter of organization.
Cash hidden in the house, if you possibly can. If the electricity is down, the ATM's will be down, and ATM's are manually filled with money by workers. As contagion spreads, banks will be closed along with other businesses. Also, banks will be harbors for infection due to the degree of money handling.
Gas in cars, always. Ask the people trying to escape hurricane Rita.
Non-electric can opener
Propane cylinders, carefully following storage instructions
Clorox, must be the plain kind
Dishwashing detergent
Small scrubbie
Paper Towels
Toilet paper, a very important item
Tissues
Fire extinguisher
Matches
Long-snout type lighters
Candles
Portable heater
Emergency radio
Emergency lighting
Games, non-electric, and cards
Containers, including at least one 5 gallon or similar bucket (emergency potty and many other uses)
Plastic bags, different sizes, many uses
Duct tape
Scissors
Disposable plates, forks, spoons, hot and cold cups
Knives
Cooking pots and a few utensils (in case you are forced to leave)

Ziplock bags
Aluminum foil
Extra set of car keys
Sleeping bags

Glasses, sunglasses
