Emergency Disaster Kit

 

A basic emergency disaster kit is pretty much essential for everyone. Depending on where you live, you’ll need different types of tools, but according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency every kit needs the following items:

 

• Water (one gallon per person a day)
• Food (ready to eat or requiring little water)
• Cooking and eating supplies (can opener, utensils, plates)
• First aid kit (we’ll talk about this in the next section, but it should be separate from your day-to-day first aid kit)
• Warm clothes, blanket, and rain (or snow) gear
• Hygiene items (toilet paper, toothpaste, hand sanitizer)
• Basics tools (hammer, crowbar, wrench)
• Plastic bags for garbage disposal

From there, you can prepare a customized kit based on the type of disaster you’re more likely to face over at 72 Hours. You can customize it for earthquakes, fire, power loss, and more. Photo byGlobal X.
