Are you you feeling more prepared yet this month? I hope so! Last week I shared how to teach children about preparedness and I am excited to elaborate on one of those tips.

Ever since watching The Impossible, a true story about a family’s survival during a tsunami in Thailand, I’ve been concerned about identification in case of an emergency. In the movie, they write people’s names and info on their arms. Genius! I am making sure that Sharpie Permanent Markers, are in every 72-hour kit just for this purpose!

I also think that it is smart to have a key ring with photos of each family member in each 72-hour kit. If someone is lost, it is much easier to show a picture than try to describe a child. I recommend writing your child’s name, age, and height/weight on the back of the picture. Also include the name and phone number of your out of state contact as local phone lines may be tied up during an emergency.

For photos, work with what you have that is recent. School pictures are happening this month and are perfect for this project. Laminate them for durability, hole punch them for a Key Ring, and you are set! I will be updating mine later this month, but I will show you the first set I made. For laminating, I like to use Thermal Laminator 2 Roller System (TL901) and Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches 8.9 x 11.4 Inches 3 mil, 100-Pack (TP3854-100). I recently bought these two products and they have definitely come in handy! 

Check out this post for more EASY tips to get prepared if you have small children. 

Now for the fun part! Who is ready to win a little something that will help them be more prepared? After all, you are going to need a home for those photo key rings!
