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.

I get the message that floods in Georgia have created a "food" shortage, but this comes off very insensitive to the people affected in India and El Salvador. Perhaps a better way to quantify the impact of these overseas food shortages is by comparing a relative population, i.e.: There are more people in India starving right now than the population ...

That one brand of waffles is not available in the USA has no bearing on our quality of life. The disasters you are comparing to are of magnitudes greater.
