September is National Emergency Preparedness month.  One of the items that the emergency preparedness experts suggest you have is a 72 Hour Kit. FEMA recommends that each household puts together a disaster supply kit that “is simply a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency.”

A 72 Hour Kit is enough food, water and supplies to last your family for 3 days in the case of an emergency.  We aren’t talking about being a “prepper” but having just enough of the basic essentials to get you through until the electricity comes back on or someone can reach your home to evacuate you.

You want to get organized, but maybe you are a real do-it-yourselfer or perhaps you aren't ready to have someone like a professional organizer come into your house to help you. The problem is you just don't know where to start. Often that's the most common reason organizing projects don't begin. People are just too overwhelmed to figure out where the starting line is.
