How Did U Score?

Topic 1: Remember to pack a flashlight and battery-powered radio with extra batteries. Be sure to check that everything works before closing your supply kit.

Topic 2: Your family's kit should have a three-day supply of food and water. Work with your parents to collect a yummy selection of nutritious food that won't spoil, like canned fruits and vegetables, peanut butter, canned meat (don't forget a can opener).

Topic 3: Work with your family to collect a first aid kit, tools, and other hard-to-find stuff on your supply list.
