The American Red Cross recommends each household have an emergency kit in place that you can reach quickly. With tornado season in full swing, the protection experts at Pelican (http://www.pelicanprogear.com) have put together a list of items every household should have in the event of severe weather this spring and summer.
• First Aid kit: Having an easy to reach First Aid kit around your home is important. In the event of severe weather, have medicine and medical supplies that are commonly used for minor injuries requiring first aid. The kit does not have to be expensive, but it's important to have the basics.
• A self-powered emergency radio: A self-powered emergency radio can quickly provide information, light and power when you need it most.
