Are you ready for an emergency?

  Here's what experts say every person should have in their emergency 'Go Bag'. For food, experts say you'll want at least a three-day food supply, with protien-packed non-perishables like nuts, jerky, or peanut butter recommended. For water, you'll need one gallon per person per day.  Otherwise, make sure you have some water-purifying tablets or a filter bottle. Other items to remember include a first aid kit, flashlight and batters, a hand-powered radio, a dust mask, and of course, duct tape. One more thing - have a waterproof pouch for things like money, ID, credit cards, and important documents like passports or birth certificates. Do you have a 'Go Bag'?  Does your family have an emergency plan in place?
