it's always smart to prepare for any natural disaster given how unpredictable nature can be. Whether it be preparing for an earthquake, hurricane, tornado, or snowstorm, below are basic suggestions for what to keep in your disaster supply kit:
天灾总是在我们始料未及的情况下发生，所以早作准备应对是很有必要的。无论是面对地震、飓风、龙卷风还是雪暴，你都应该准备好以下几样物品：

1. Water. It's recommended to have one gallon of water per day per person. You should keep at least three gallons each per person at home.
水。每人每天需要饮用一加仑的水，所以你在家中应至少准备一人三加仑的量。

2. Food. You should have at least three day's worth of food. Concentrate on non-perishable food that doesn't require refrigeration or much prep. Consider cereal, ready-to-eat canned fruits, juice, and meat. Remember to have vitamins and special supplies around for anyone with special needs, such as pets, babies, and the elderly.
食物。家中应该至少有三天的食物储备。这些食物应该像干粮一样不容易腐坏，不用放在冰箱中储藏或者吃之前不需要做太多准备，比如说谷物类、罐头水果、果汁、肉类。别忘了给有特殊需求的人（如宠物、婴儿、老人）准备维他命片或其他需要的东西。

3. Medication.Have some extra medication on hand for times when disaster strikes and you can't leave your home to refill your prescription. Remember to also store over-the-counter medication like painkillers, alkal seltzer,laxatives, anti-diarrhea medication.
药品。家中有一些备用药的话，当灾难来临时你就不用再出门去买这些药了。同时也储备些非处方药，如止痛片、消食片、轻泻剂、止腹泻片等。

4. First aid kit.It should have latex gloves, gauze pads, thermometer, sterile bandages, band-aids, petroleum jelly, salve for burns, adhesive tape, towelettes and instant cold packs.
急救箱。急救箱里应该有医用手套、纱布、温度计、无菌绷带、创可贴、凡士林、烧伤药膏、胶布、湿纸巾和即时冰袋。

5. Tools and supplies.This includes items such as candles, matches in a waterproof container, scissors, tweezers, a sewing kit, flashlight, extra batteries, small fire extinguisher, a manual can opener, and a wrench to turn off gas. Be sure to also have a map of the area in case you need to look for a shelter.
工具箱。工具箱里应该要有蜡烛、火柴（这两样最好放在防水盒子里），剪刀、镊子、针线包、手电筒、电池、小型灭火器、手动开瓶器和一个能用来关闭煤气阀门的扳手。最好准备一份你所在地区的地图，当你想寻找躲避灾难的地方时，这份地图就能派上用场了。
