Emergency Preparedness Kit

An emergency kit is crucial for surviving on your own for several days after a disaster.

It should include basic supplies such as water (one gallon per person per day), non-perishable food, a flashlight, battery-powered or hand-crank radio, first aid kit, extra batteries, and personal hygiene items.

Additional items may include medications, multi-purpose tools, sanitation supplies, copies of personal documents, cell phone chargers, and cash.

The kit should also consider the unique needs of family members, such as baby supplies, pet food, and prescription medications.
