Notes: Archives 2013.002.0030 ==== Hoboken CERT EMERGENCY BAG Being prepared is the key for any emergency. Keep a small bag in a dry and safe place for each of your family members. Make sure it's a place easily reachable, not obstructed by any large objects, so it'll be easier to grab 'n go. Re-check your bag every few months so that batteries haven't drained, or water hasn't leaked from your water bottles. And make sure you re-adjust your kit for each season. -Winter socks (if necessary) -Gloves (heavy duty and for warmth) -Hat (for winter and summer) -Extra t-shirt and undergarment 2 hand and foot warmers -Small blankets -AM/FM Radio (preferred is a crank one w/ AA batteries) -Flashlights w/AA batteries, 2 each -PVC "Easy Tear" duct tape, 2" x 10 yards -52 pc.
