EMERGENCY EVACUATION KIT

A friend of mine is cleaning out her office at work this week. She works at a school and this week is Winter Break so it was a good time to have the carpet in her office replace -- a much needed job! Anyhow, one of the things she carted out before the carpet technicians came was an EMERGENCY EVACUATION KIT. A HUGE black box filled with all sorts of emergency stuff in case of a school evacuation -- which fortunately has never had to be used.

Anyway, it got me to thinking. I need to have an EMERGENCY EVACUATION KIT at home!

I think I'm going to go home today and put one together. I plan to include things like a swim suit, flip flops, a couple of good books, some bottled water, etc., etc., etc.
