it also includes cash and clothing. they want you to have a 72 hr kit that you can grab and go in a hurry in case you have to evacuate.
they also want you to have one year worth of supplies at home in case you have to provide for your family when supplies are limited or non existant.

They are also used for hurricane preparedness. Louisiana has hurricanes. The season starts in June but doesn't blow up until August usually. GO Tigers!
I'd like to see the letter,

Every member worldwide is supposed to keep these kits but this is the first time they have ever given a definite "must have" deadline.
I know for sure the "must have by July 1st" memo went out to everyone in Louisiana just from talking to people I know all over the state. I was kinda hoping other members from other states would say they also got the memo. If not I think I will start worrying.
