What if you have to leave your house in the next five minutes because of an earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami, flood or approaching wildfire? Do you have these crucial items to help protect your home and family?

• A one-week emergency kit ready to go with adequate first-aid, clothing, water and food provisions for everyone in the family
• Fuel and implements to provide heat for cooking, lighting and staying warm

This workshop may save you hours of heartache if you are faced with a natural disaster.
