Following is a listing of some basic items that every emergency supply kit should include. You should have enough food, water, and other supplies to last for at least three days. However, it is important that individuals review this list and consider where they live and the unique needs of their family in order to create an emergency supply kit that will meet these needs. Individuals should also consider having at least two emergency supply kits, one full kit at home and smaller portable kits in their workplace, vehicle or other places they spend time.
Remember to rotate and update your supplies every six months. For a more detailed list of recommended disaster kit items, visit www.ready.gov/.
