Week 1 - 72 Crew

Here is a possible checklist to use for the 72 hour kits we will be creating.

http://lds.about.com/library/bl/preparation/72_hour_kit.pdf   Hi Team,   Yay, it is Week 1 of our getting prepared.   Within this group there will be 3 mini support groups. Some weeks the mini groups will have different tasks. Some weeks we will all have the same task. This week it is a bit of a combo.   Red Team (starting from scratch or re-scratch)   Yellow Team (somewhere in the middle)   Blue Team (needs refreshing)     RED Team 1. Get a cardboard box and label it 72 hr kit   2. Identify the spot in which you are going to keep your 72 hour kit - think easily accessible.   3. Decide what permanent kind of travel container you are going to want to carry your 72 hr kit. There are pros and cons of various kinds. Do you want it on rollers? Do you want it all in backpacks? Think sturdy and transportable. Do a little "window" shopping on the internet and identify what you think you want and how much it will cost.   4. For every two people in your family, put $5 in an envelope labeled For 72 Hour Kit Container and put it in your cardboard box above or in another safe place.   5. Print out the pdf file at the beginning of this email and put it in your cardboard box.   YELLOW Team Print out the pdf at the beginning of this email, mark off everything that you have and scan and email it back to me. If you have another list you are working from, please just send that to me.   BLUE Team Ah, bless your hearts, this is probably the toughest task this week.   1. Pull out your 72 hour kit(s), check all expiration dates of perishable things, and throw away everything that is past its use by date. If you have husband and kids, schedule this at a time that all of them can help you do this.   2. Print out the pdf at the beginning of this and put it with your 72 hour kit.   Onward, ever onward. Let me know as you complete your tasks, and have fun.
