  1. Disaster Kit (PlanetGreen.Discovery.com)
      "Depending on where you live and what type of disaster is likely to affect you, your kit might be slightly different; however, there are some necessities we all have to have." 02-10

  2. Emergency Preparation Kit (Ready.gov)
      "You may need to survive on your own after an emergency. This means having your own food, water, and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least three days. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. You could get help in hours, or it might take days. In addition, basic services such as electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment, and telephones may be cut off for days, or even a week or longer." 05-10

Purchase Resources
  1. Emergency Preparation: Shortwave Radio (Amazon.com)
      "Synchronous detector! It enables the radio to lock onto signals with tenacity. It reduces fading and noise and enables you to eliminate interference by selecting a sideband on the other side of the interfering signal. On the SW7600GR it works very well. No other radio at this price has sync detector. "
