My emergency kit
- Black Maglight flashlight--works
- Transistor radio
- Assorted batteries
- Two (2) 2 (two)-litre seltzer bottles filled with tap water
- Old dried apricots
- Salted almonds
- Small zippered bag containing toothbrush, toothpaste, one tampon, lip balm, eyeshadow (dual shade), hand lotion, antibacterial gel
- About a pound and a half of cat kibbles
- One (1) can of cat food (...for the cats)
- Bicycle, i.e. human-powered transport #1 (it's locked to a rack in the basement and I lost key. Note to self: get super to liberate my bike before next disaster.)
- Folding kayak, i.e. human-powered transport #2 (way far off near Jamaica Bay, and where would I put the cats?)
- (and, where exactly would I paddle to?)
- Proven capacity to cope in case of disaster
