Do 1 Thing Logo
The mission of www.do1thing.us is to move individuals, families, organizations, businesses, and communities to prepare for all hazards and become disaster resilient. 
      

Disasters can happen at any time. If you are away from home do you know where to find safe shelter locations? Do you know what the emergency procedures are for your child's school or for your workplace? Will people who count on you know what to do if you can't reach them? Know how to make sure you and your loved ones are safe in a disaster, no matter where you are.

 

Make a Plan:

THE GOAL

Have 72 hours (three days) worth of water stored for your household.

THINGS TO DO

Below is a list of things that you can do to achieve your goal this month.  

 

Choose at least one, and complete it.  

* Buy a three-day emergency food supply.

 * Take steps to make sure food in your refrigerator and freezer will stay safe.

 * Make sure you can meet any special dietary needs in your household.

 

Emergency food supply doesn't have to be set aside specifically for a disaster, just be sure that the items are replaced regularly so they never run out. Be sure to think of your pets when you are organizing your food supply.
