Assemble an emergency supplies kit

• Stock up now on emergency supplies that can be used after a hurricane. These supplies should include a first aid kit, survival kits for the home, automobile, and workplace, flashlight and batteries, garbage bags, toilet paper, soap, can opener, work gloves, battery operated radio, and emergency water and food.

• Store enough supplies to last at least 3 days. For additional information about the emergency supply kit pick up a copy of the Hurricane Information Kit which is available at the Government Administration Building on Elgin Avenue, or alternatively you can download a copy on www.Caymanprepared.ky;
