We see it in the news much too often...a family is devastated when Mother Nature strikes...hurricane, tornado, hail, flood etc.   The truth is,  we can't prevent bad weather, but we can prepare ourselves if and when we may need to survive on our own after a disaster.   The answer is simple, and the solution is very inexpensive...build yourselves a DRK...disaster recovery kit!  Here's the basic contents, as recommended by FEMA,  the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
