EMERGENCY CHECKLIST
 

Can You Go It Alone for 3  to 7 Days?

   The first 72 hours after a major emergency or disaster are critical.
   Electricity, gas, water, and telephones may not be working. In addition, public safety services such as police and fire departments will be busy handling serious crises.
   You should be prepared to be self-sufficient — able to live without running water, electricity and/or gas, and telephones — for at least three days following a major emergency... seven days is safer.
   At Allcovered.net we want to help… Here is an emergency supplies checklist prepared by the State of California that can serve as a starting point for your emergency supplies checklist.
    To be prepared for surviving at least three days with no help from outside sources, keep on hand in a central location the following:
