Disaster Prep Posts- a Common Room round up

Wiz-Bang got an Insta-lanche, and since I had posted to the insta-lanched thread, we're getting a mini-lanche of people looking for the frugal emergency plan posts.
We'll be posting on the topic all month. Meanwhile, here is a link to all our posts thus far (and I'll probably continue to update it throughout the month):

Things We Can Do Even If We Have No Money: This was not technically a frugal guide to an emergency kit. Rather, it was a list of ideas on ways those of us with little or no disposable income might provide some assistance to hurricane survivors. I list it here because some of these ideas would also help a family living at the poverty line come up with a few dollars for a few emergency items. Even if you can't put together a full three day kit, half a loaf is better than no bread.

Frugal Guide to Disaster Preparedness- the first post- here we have tips on state of mind, faith in God, water storage, wild foods, and instant bean soup flours you can make with a grain mill, and how to meet somebody with a grain mill.

The 2nd Frugral guide post- dehydrated foods, recipes, and links- how to dry food in your oven, etc.

Here's a great hurricane hero story which illustrates a basic survival tip- if you don't have this, all the supplies in the world won't help you.

Why it is NOT compassionate to argue that the poor have no means of putting together an emergency kit.

Four basic items from your grocery store
