Week 24 - 24 Weeks of Crisis Supply Procurement

Week 24

Grocery Store

• Plastic wrap
• Aluminum foil

AND

Use the remaining monies from the money jar to acquire any items you determined you are lacking from your review last week.

To Do

• Become “go-bagers”. Take your go-bag with you everywhere. Ladies, put your purse in this bag. Men, this can also be your brief case. Kids this can also be your book bag. Many of today’s backpacks are made to also hold your laptop. Keep a copy of your emergency contact numbers in each go-bag: individual, home and vehicle (RV, boat, plane).
• Keep your pets in mind for water, food and first aid storage. (Remember for dogs and cats a diet of dry food will require more water)
• Continue to hold regular practice drills
• Rotate food, water and medical stores
• Learn new skills and practice the ones you have previously learned
• Continue to record the items you have purchased for crisis use in the Documentation Book/Binder and update any emergency data as it changes.
• Check out the links found on these sites http://nmurbanhomesteader.blogspot.com/ & http://www.scribd.com/TNTCrazyLady for detailed information, specific checklists, historical and wilderness skills, links to other informative sites and the like.
• Repeat the procurement schedule as need to acquire all your preparedness needs. Food storage items will especially need to be repeated to accumulate your desired food stores. This will give you approximately 6 days worth of food and water for one person and pet.

** When quantities are listed that is per person in your household.

“Security is mostly superstition.” Helen Keller

At the end of 24 weeks your Documentation Book should be complete. You should have established a plan and have accumulated enough of the basic goods for one person, plus food and water for one person in, one household, for a minimum of 6 days.

Now just repeat until you have acquired all that you feel you need for the timeframe you feel you need it for.

Note: If you do not need the Infant/Toddler; Pet; Earthquake stuff – use those monies to collect the items you feel you need more of than this accumulates.

"When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live."
Samuel Johnson
