After the frozen events of last month we re reminded that severe weather comes in many forms, and that being prepared for these events is largely up to us.
Now we learn that this year s spring storm season may rival that of 2011. So, what should we have in our emergency kit? I found a great list from EMSA, The Emergency Medical Services Authority in Oklahoma.
The first thing they recommend is a three day supply of water for each member of your household. Remember, you ll be consuming some of it and using some of it for washing up, so you ll probably need more than you realize.

OKLAHOMA CITY – A dangerous winter storm held Oklahoma in its icy grip Monday, shutting down businesses, prohibiting travel and depriving residents of basic needs like water and power.
By Monday afternoon, state officials were scrambling to support utilities running dangerously low on the fuel needed to keep residents warm and alive as temperatures plummeted below zero. Rolling blackouts designed to assure emergency power were affecting the region.
