The best way to be prepared is to be prepared!

Disaster Blankets:
We found some 30% Wool disaster blankets at Deseret Industries in Portland,
OR for $2 each (normally $10 on line and on sale for $5 to $8 from time to time).
So our CO-OP purchased 55 of them.
Then I took the ones that I purchased for our family, and put each blanket in
an individual plastic bag (you can see the plastic bag in the picture above).
Then I put the blanket inside a tote bag that is 1000d water resistant nylon
(plastic bag not shown in this picture so you can see the blanket). This makes
the individual blanket easy to just grab and go in a disaster.
We then put the nylon bags inside a larger family pack brigh orange 1000d water
resistant bag (5 blankets in each bag).
We have 10 blankets so we put 5 in a bag, each with a luggage tag on the individual
big orange bag so we know what is in them.
We have several of these bright orange
bags and use them for all our emergency disaster storage so we can easily spot
them to grab and go if there is an emergency.
72 HOUR EMERGENCY KITS IN A ROLL ALONG AIRPORT TRAVEL BAG:
If you put a 72 hour kit in one of the roll along air travel bags (an this one also has strps so it can be used as a back pack) you can keep it right by the door where it is easy to grab and go out the door incase of a fire in your house.
