Here is a posting by The Red Cross I thought you all should also be prepared and remember incase of a disaster:

Red Cross offers Emergency preparedness Week tips:

If a disaster such as a fire happens in the middle of the night, you may not have time to collect any belongings,” says Ramsey. “Having a grab-and-go kit containing items such as identification, mortgage and insurance documents, prescriptions and cash can ensure you have what you need for the immediate well-being of your family as well as provide peace of mind in a very stressful situation.” A home disaster kit should include: flashlight and batteries; one change of clothing and shoes; radio and batteries; blankets or sleeping bags; toilet paper and personal supplies; extra car keys and cash; important papers such as identification, personal documents; a whistle to attract attention; canned food and bottled water; a manual can opener; first aid kit; and medication. Food and batteries should be replaced once each year.
