Every home and building owner should have a gas and water shut off tool and know how to use it. Also, others in your home should be trained on how to shut off the gas and water. In an emergency, like an earthquake, fire, flood, or evacuation, you’ll need to shut off your gas and water service to your building. I work in a real estate office and these emergency gas and water shut off tools make great gifts for our new home owners.

It is important to remember to rotate the following items in your emergency kit.

#1. Check your food and water to see if it has expired. If your food and water is going to expire within 6 months just use it up and replace it. Be sure to check your iodine tablets or other methods of water purification to make sure thy have not expired as well.

#3. Check any medications that you keep in stock.

#4. Check your batteries and make sure all the things that use batteries are in working order, like flashlights and radios.

#5. Also, check your activities bag and the activities bag of your children to make sure thy are up to date.

#6. Make sure you check your emergency contact list and also revise your emergency plans if need be.

#7. Finally, go through all items in your emergency kit adding additional items like solar blankets, etc… as you become better prepared.
