Part of the reason I got inspired to do this is because a friend of mine wrote this article about emergency supplies:

It's so thorough it's overwhelming. But this weekend, I ordered a few basics from Amazon: a container to store water, some Cliff bars, face masks, the recommended first-aid kit, the recommended radio.
It was expensive, but I figured these are supplies I need to have in my home, and I can "stock up" a little at a time.
Hoping to do some organizing of my kits (outside, inside, car) this weekend.
