An emergency go kit helps you survive a disaster

Español

Texas gets walloped by hail, tornadoes, hurricanes—even freezing blizzards.

Before disaster looms, put together an emergency go kit so you and your family can scoot in a hurry.

Some emergency kit tips:

  • Set aside three gallons of water per person, enough to last three days.
  • Also pack non-perishable food, a can opener, utensils, battery-powered radio, flashlight, and extra batteries. Remember to have chargers for your gizmos and cell phone too.
  • Put water and food supplies in your car, just in case.

An expert talks about how to build your kit in this Texas Insurance Podcast.
