Every household should be prepared for at least a three day emergency. We encourage everyone to be ready at higher levels if the emergency calls for quarantine and/or stores are closed. Use the chart below to help you determine how much your household would need. A "Ready to Go Kit" can be purchased at www.redcrossstore.org or at the Red Cross chapter at 51 Main Street. To order large food quantities and other emergency items visit www.costco.com. Don't forget your medications.
