rethink location of supplies in home
tornado's ravaged the mid south last week. My friend was more prepared than most with stocked supplies but his house was turned into a pile of sticks while he and his family hid in the bathtub with a mattress over them.They made it through the storm with just a few scratches but his supplies in the garage were just scattered across the neighborhood. He was able to grab his BOB out of his overturned truck and was able to set up a quick shelter from the heavy rain until help arrived 2 hours later. The shelter they were taken to had vending machines but no one had change with them. The BOB took care of them till I made it to the shelter and took them home with me.
Short of putting a concrete shelter in the back yard I think i will buy one of those big metal job boxes like construction workers use to keep my supplies safe from the weather and locked up from scavengers if I'm away from home after a disaster like this.
