  Observation. *Some emergency preparedness supplies such as water and boxed food are present however they are insufficient in amount and stored in several areas throughout the home. The Manager was unsure as to what types of supplies should be obtained and a broad discussion was held as to what should be included in an emergency preparedness kit. CCFL recommends having adequate food/water and equipment sufficient for children and staff to last for a period of 72 hours. Items should be stored together in a wagon or wheeled suitcase that can be easily moved in the event an emergency creates the need for evacuation from the home.
