I started keeping my kit stocked in 1984. That was when I started working at LARC, and began to see the importance of it.
I really worried about my friends in NYC when 9/11 happened. Most didn't have any kind of disaster relief kit in the house ... and some lost their money and id in the towers (and were just thankful to get out alive). They walked home only to realize that they had no way to purchase food ... no way to get out of the city ...
