The Family Disaster Supplies Calendar is intended to help
you prepare for manmade or natural disasters before they
happen. Using the calendar, your family can assemble an

may be stored all together in a large plastic garbage can or
food may be kept on kitchen shelves. Remember to rotate
your perishable supplies and change water every six months.
