If a disaster were to strike, would you be able to follow the St. Clair County EMA’s “72 and You!” rule? You should be prepared to take care of yourself and your family for at least 3 days (72 hours) following a disaster, because it could possibly be that long before help arrives, power is restored, or water is flowing once again. Make sure you have a Disaster Supply Kit with items that will sustain you and your family for at least 3 days (72 hours).
