Sooooo, are we prepared? For most emergencies we did pretty well but I did discover that I want better food in my 72 hour kits. They just didn't really cut it when it came right down to it. Of course, we could survive on them but since I am a 'stress' eater, I want to actually enjoy my emergency food in times of stress. I also found that I needed more water than I had. In my defense, I thought I had more water stored, but my family has been nipping from my stash for ball games, hikes, and such. Silly family, I guess they would have to go without in a real emergency, eh? It was a real eye opener to go through these 'emergencies' and now I have a list of things to help us better prepare. I would reccommend a drill to all families. Then there would be fewer surprises in the event of a real emergency.
