12/14/11 This holiday season, if you’re having trouble shopping for that special person who’s hard to buy for, consider putting together a personalized emergency preparedness kit, or purchasing a special emergency item like a hand-crank or solar charged flashlight.
An emergency preparedness kit for your loved one’s home or vehicle can be a very practical expression of how much you care for them.
Even if you cannot assemble a complete kit, you can purchase an item or two to help get the kit started. A battery operated NOAA all hazards alert radio or hand-crank AM/FM radio make great gifts.
Home fire safety items, such as smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers, are also thoughtful presents that save lives.
This year, give your friends and family the invaluable peace of mind that comes from being prepared.
