What's In My Kit? (featuring Jamie Lee Curtis)
Hi, I’m Jamie Lee Curtis. You already know the essential items for an emergency kit.
I’m going to customize one to make it a little more user friendly for your family specifically.
I think you should have a picture of your family in your kit.
My favorite thing to have in the kit is candy and games. Children have a lot of time so you want them to be occupied.
Another favorite: rechargeable flashlight.
Dental Floss!
Almonds or chips!
I live in earthquake country, where there will be a lot of broken glass, so I suggest solid shoes for every member of your family.
