Safety Basics: Disaster Kit

Judy: Hi, this is Judy Davis and I live in western North Carolina. I lost vision fairly quickly, and I have no local family, so that can be more challenging at times.

It was raining really, really heavenly. All night I was listening to things falling, and that is scary. Around midday, the rain had slowed down and was almost stopped. I asked my neighbor, I said, look, can we walk up to the street to see what happened to our street?

There was a big pile of debris on the street where a tree had come down and taken down power lines and taken down a transformer, and it really felt like that disaster movie thing where people are coming out and just aghast at what they saw and things, and everybody was just checking in with each other.

I felt like I was somewhat prepared. I had on hand two gallons of water, and then probably a flat of water besides that.
