Having less faith and confidence in the government when thinking about the American government slow response to the Hurricane Katrina. People plan for themselves against such disasters. The main consideration in making this plan is having a Preppers list of Supplies.

We all familiar with lists, there are the bug out bag lists, food storage lists, fuel storage lists and accessories, lists for various disasters and so on. But the only prepping supplies lists you need is the one that you make. Prepping is such a personal thing that we cannot just take someone else’s list and think it will work for our needs. We must develop a plan and have prepping supplies that will work for our needs considering our unique Situation. For example, if we live in an urban area, our needs will be different than someone living on a farm.

When making your Preppers list of supplies, you should keep in mind which event or disaster you are preparing for. How you are going to keep those supplies organized and rotated.

A good Preppers list should include the following basic items:

• A means of purifying water (chlorine tablets, water purification equipment), don’t forget you can survive much longer without food than you can without water.
• At least two ways to cook food in a power-down situation.
  Basic bulk ingredients with long-term food storage are a must. Wheat, rice, and beans which are versatile.
• Some other items like first aid kit, flashlights, and candles, knife, Am/Fm radio, sleeping bag.
• Customized bag for an emergency situation. These emergency situation kits are sometimes referred to as Bug out Bags, for moving out of town in a hurry.

In addition, the list needs to be tailored to your situation. If you have small children to care for include books and games that will keep them occupied. Things like a good supply of powdered milk will be important.
