You've put a good deal of time and effort into planning your emergency supplies, tools, evacuation and disaster relief plans. All of that planning will do you no good if you are not organized. If your house's heating system goes out on the coldest night of the year and you can't find your solar blankets and sleeping bags, then all that pre-planning is wasted. It is absolutely imperative that you mark all of your emergency supplies and make sure they are portable and ready to go for anyone in your household who needs to use them.
These would contain items like bandages of different sizes, antibiotic creams, splints in case of broken bones and other supplies. If you purchase your items separately, make sure you are supplying your kit with everything you might need in order to keep it all together in one safe place.
Plastic supply cases and backpacks are also used to hold first aid items. The products should always be labeled so that there is little confusion as to what is in the bag. If you are planning a long trip or perhaps a long camping vacation, you should consider using a large plastic tote that has wheels for easy traveling. Inside the tote, separate smaller bags and containers with labels can be used to make sure you have everything and anything you might need. Duffel bags and plastic bags can be used to keep everything separate.
It is important to remember items that will keep you protected from the elements and harsh or surprise weather. These would include sleeping bags, heat generating equipment and tarps for making lean-tos or for shelter from the rain. Food and water should never be forgotten, as this is vital to survival in bad situations. If you keep the items together in a storage item with a lid, you should be able to just lift the lid and grab what you want. If items are not labeled or cannot be found, it can be very frustrating.
Now let's drop an emergency like a natural disaster on you and you're hunting for flashlights in the dark. This is not an ideal scenario, especially when you've spent so much time and effort planning out your emergency supplies. Take a little bit more time for planning your emergency supplies storage ideas and when it comes time to use those supplies, they'll be easy to find, readily available and you will breathe a huge sigh of relief. Being prepared, and ready for all types of emergencies, is always the best situation.
