This is the perfect volunteer activity for any team or group! Come together to create Disaster Preparedness kits for ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families and individuals at risk (e.g. seniors, adults with disabilities, etc.).
Volunteers will pack drawstring backpacks with some key essentials to help families and individuals be better prepared for a disaster. Items include:
- blanket or tied pillow
- small flashlight
- extra batteries
- a contact list with key information
- non-perishable snack items
- a bottle of water
- water treatment packets
- a whistle
- personal care items (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap)
- small first aid kit
- colored pencils
- mandalas coloring book
We will coordinate with your team to arrange for supplies for your assembly project. Ideally, we would like this done during September, which is National Disaster Preparedness month.
