72-Hour Emergency Kit
"If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear" (Doctrine and Covenants 38:30)
A 72-Hr kit is a bag, backpack, suitcase, or whatever you have - that you can grab at a moment's notice - that will have the items necessary for you and your family to survive in an emergency situation when you are away from home. When we say "moment's notice" we mean that an evacuation order has been given and you have mere minutes to leave your home. You will not have time to hunt around your home for water bottles, canned food, prescriptions, flashlight, etc. A 72-Hr kit is a "grab and go" bag, or a Bug-Out-Bag (BOB).
