Get Ready: Set Your Clocks, Check Your Stocks
Daylight saving time ENDS Sunday, Nov. 2, 2008. Is your emergency preparedness stockpile up to date?
When it’s time to change your clocks because of daylight saving time, remember to check your preparedness kit to make sure your emergency stockpile isn’t missing any items and that the food hasn’t expired. APHA’s Get Ready: Set 
Your Clocks, Check Your Stocks campaign is reminding people to refresh their emergency supplies before a disease outbreak or disaster occurs. If you haven’t created a stockpile yet, now is the time to create one!
Be sure that you have at least a three-day supply of bottled water, non-perishable foods and essential medications set aside for each member of your family. (And as always, don’t forget to check the batteries in your smoke alarms!)
This information is good year-round: You don't have to wait for the clock change to update your stockpile. So think about having these materials on-hand at your next health fair or community meeting!
