Step 8:  Emergency Items

• Radio Hand crank is best, but if you have a battery operated, make sure you have extra batteries.  (Red Cross Solar Link Radio for 70.99 
• Flashlight & Batteries. It's a good idea to have each person have a small one in their pack (Flashlight $4.99- 48.49)
• Emergency Whistle. (5 in 1 whistle 2.28.  waterproof container, mirror, flint, and compass)
• Work gloves (work gloves 3.47) handy if you need to clean up glass, helping move debris. 
• Hand/foot warmers 
• Needles/Thread 
• Trash bags- keep an extra on hand for sanitation or weather protection
