bReady South Dakota

Are you ready to deal with the next natural disaster, pandemic, or other emergencies? South Dakota state government wants you to be ready. They are spreading the word through a new media campaign called bReady South Dakota.

Severe Studios supports this movement and campaign. We believe it is part of the greater effort to prepare individuals for when severe weather strikes.

If a situation arises that would require you to leave your home or be at home without many of the necessities we take for granted, would you be ready? You can be if you have a bReady Kit. If you don't already have a bReadyKit, you should prepare one as soon as possible. Your bReady Kit should include the necessary items to help you and your family get through an emergency situation.

The items should include:

· enough bottled water to last one week

· a 3 to 5 day supply of nonperishable food

· one change of clothing and shoes per person

· at least three days worth of all prescription medicines

· a lantern-style flashlight

· a manual can opener

· a battery-powered or hand-crank radio

· hygiene basics, including soap, toothpaste, toilet paper and moist towelettes

· a First Aid kit

· copies of your essential records, including Social Security cards, health insurance cards, home-owners insurance information and cards, family contacts and phone numbers, and a detailed list of all medications.
