| Oh right, grab bags too... Adrienne's parents gave us some food supply boxes - dry cereal, water, water purifying tablets, etc for quake situations. I forgot about the grab-bag concept for other disasters. I'll have to put those together. At least we keep the animal's emergency cages close at hand.
