Pre-packaged emergency kits are a good start in gathering the recommended three days’ worth of disaster supplies, says Gayle Shipley, Western’s director of environmental health and safety. Western’s bookstore sells such a kit, which includes some water and food, a first-aid kit, thermal blanket, body warmers and a battery-powered flashlight, for $36.50. It’s available at the store or online: www.bookstore.wwu.edu.
