Items for an Emergency Supply Kit

In the event of a disaster, it is recommended that you be prepared to make it on your own for at least 3 days.

Start now by gathering basic emergency supplies -

• flashlights
• batteries
• battery operated radio
• cell phone
• first aid kit
• fire extinguisher
• a whistle or loud bell (to attract attention)
• toilet articles
• 7 day supply of medicines
• garbage bags
• clothes, shoes
• bottled water (a gallon of water per person per day)
• canned food
• non-electric can opener, and
• dried foods (easy to store and prepare)

Consider putting together 2 kits. One kit should contain the items you would need to stay where you are and make it on your own. The other kit would be a smaller version of that kit that you can take with you if you have to evacuate.
