Create a survival kit that will sustain you if disaster strikes


Your kit should include, but not be limited to, the following:

  • Water – one gallon per person, per day 
  • Food – nonperishable and canned foods, along with a non-electric can opener
  • Sanitation and personal hygiene items
  • Flashlights with extra batteries
  • Battery-powered or hand crank radio. If battery-powered, have extra batteries
  • Extra clothing and blankets
  • A first-aid kit
  • Emergency cash or checks – credit cards may not be dependable if there is a power outage
  • Electronic chargers, including chargers that can be used in your vehicle
  • A whistle to signal for help
  • Duct tape
  • Copies of personal documents – including a home inventory list, insurance policies and other important legal and financial documents
  • Bug spray
  • Pen and notebook – use to keep notes, important phone numbers, etc., if power is out and electronic devices are not working
