Few natural disasters are more devastating than floods, which can deprive you of food, water, shelter and power. Flooding can occur in most areas of the country. To protect yourself and your family, put together a flood-survival kit.
Clean water is one of the most important things to keep on hand.
Most people use about four gallons of water per day, and you should keep a two-day supply. You'll also need a food supply. Cereals are a great source of energy, and they're light. Include a few comfort foods such as chocolate, as well as energy bars. Don't forget a can opener.
