Enter the We're Prepared Competition

It's both easy and important to enter our Free Survival Kit competition.

Here's how it works:

• Send us two or three great images to go with your story - no less than 1MB file size and landscape not portrait to [email protected]
• We'll publish the best stories and photos as an example to get other households and businesses inspired
