  13. Lincoln County: Jessica Riggin and the start of her kit

  14. Logan County: Cathy James“I gathered things from my house and only purchased $16.00 worth of items for my kit.  I purchased some things only because I did not want to have them in my safe place in case I needed them for other purposes.”

  15. KEY ITEM: FOOD Overcoming barriers when putting food in your kit • Buy on sale, over time • Buy 2, store 1 • Make food in the kit off limits • Check occasionally to ensure the kit is still intact • Old out and fresh in at least every 6 months • Use the older food • Most dates are for quality, not safety
