The February focus is 72 hour kits with a challenge to work on yours, whether that means starting one or adding to what you have go ahead and do it, you'll feel better even if all you manage is a case of water and some flashlights, something is better than nothing right?
I found an interesting post on things you might want to have around in case of an emergency, if you are already there with your 72 hour kits you might want to take a look at this.
