As National Preparedness Month begins, the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is encouraging Nebraskans to take steps now to prepare for emergencies and disasters, which can happen at any time. Wildfires have significantly impacted communities across Nebraska this year and can spread quickly.
One of the easiest ways to prepare is to build or update an emergency supply kit. Nebraskans should consider keeping a kit at home, at work, and in their vehicles.
Some emergency kits items should include:
• At least one gallon of water per person per day for three days;
• First aid supplies and necessary medications or medical items for the entire family;
• Phone chargers and a portable power bank;
