Make a home emergency kit. Maybe you need a hurricane emergency kit or a flood evacuation package. Different regions of the country have different problems. Maybe it’s forest fires or earthquakes. Have a kit that fits your region. This pandemic shows the need for emergency supplies. Preparing an emergency kit is simple, just go to a FEMA website for a start. You’ll need to do some shopping for the kits. That’s the part where you help the U.S. economy while helping your family at the same time. Buy American made items for your emergency kit.
