Who can forget the blizzard conditions we experienced late last March when Denver got nearly a foot of snow. But that's Colorado, and most natives know they have to be prepared.

The Colorado Division of Emergency Management recommends assembling an emergency supplies kit for both the home and car. According to the Division's Web site, it's called the "72-hour emergency kit." Supplies should be assembled to meet the basic survival needs of the family for three days to a week.

Items such as a first aid kit, flashlight, water storage and candles, to name a few, should be included. For a detailed list of items and how to put them together for the home and car, click here.
