Read on for the 12 important items you should have at home in case of an emergency situation like a serious storm or other natural disaster. . .

Following Hurricane Ike, many towns in Southeast Texas were destroyed or significantly damaged. Inhabitants that had been in these beach communities for generations no longer could afford to rebuild under the economic burdens of new federal and state guidelines. The homes that were rebuilt cost hundreds of thousands of dollars more than the homes that were there before.
