The American Red Cross has put together “21 Weeks to Prepare”, a weekly shopping list to help households put together a comprehensive emergency preparedness kit.
We are now on week 7. This weekly shopping list was created to help people develop an emergency kit in 21 weeks, even when the household budget is tight. All you need to do is follow the weekly shopping list.
Here is what you need to buy this week to continue building your emergency kit:
• thermometer
• allergy/pain reliever in childproof container
• sunscreen
• weather radio $1.75*
*Save $1.75 a week and purchase your weather radio at the end of 21 weeks.
