Dialogue: Lisa: Hi, Tim. So, are you doing some last-minute shopping before the weekend? Tim: Well, actually, I'm looking for supplies to put together 72-hour kits for each member of my family.

Lisa: Huh, the food might be nasty, but I guess you could survive ... barely. Tim: Well, the food doesn't have to taste bad; just select things that are easy to prepare, and you might want to include some basic comfort foods like a couple of candy bars. Then, you have to decide on the type of shelter you might need. Lisa: A hotel sounds nice. Tim: Yeah, but that's really not an option. The reality is that you might have to evacuate to a...
