Emergency Supply Kits
According to FEMA, emergency supply kits should include the following items:
- Water: one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation.
- Food: at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food.
- Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries.
- Flashlight and extra batteries.
- First aid kit.
- Whistle to signal for help.
- Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place.
- Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation.
- Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities.
- Can opener for food.
- Local maps.
There’s one critical item that most emergency supply kits are missing: Chargers. Try to include a charger for all commonly used smartphones, tablets, and computers.
The very thing that limits emergency guidebooks – their lack of technology – can make them invaluable during an emergency.
