September: Under the Bed

Under-the-bed supplies are those items you can reach for when you’ve been awakened by a crisis, such as an earthquake. You keep these items under the bed so that you don’t have to get out of bed in order to retrieve them because, without them, just getting out of bed could expose you to injury.

Activity

Create an under-the-bed kit for every member of the household who can get out of bed on their own. Read more here. The kit should include

  • hard hat (or bicycle helmet)

  • flashlight

  • sturdy shoes

One person in the household should also have the Map Your Neighborhood Help/OK sign in their kit.
