Your Family
Emergency & Emergency Supplies Kit
After a Emergency, local officials and relief
workers will be on the scene, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. You
could get help in hours, or it may take days. Would your family be prepared to
cope with the emergency until help arrives?
Your family will cope best by
preparing for Emergency before it strikes. One way to prepare is by assembling a
Emergency Supplies Kit. Once an emergency hits, you won't have time to shop or
search for supplies. But if you've gathered supplies in advance, your family can
endure an evacuation or home confinement.

How To Prepare Your Own Emergency Kit
Emergency Preparedness Survival Disaster Kits - Pre-made or
Custom
Review the checklists in this
document.
Gather the supplies that are listed.
You may need them if your family is confined at home.
Place the supplies you'd most likely
need for an evacuation in an easy-to-carry container. These supplies are listed
with an asterisk (*).
Emergencies happen anytime and
anywhere. And when an emergency strikes, you may not have much time to respond.
A highway spill of hazardous
material could mean instant evacuation.
A winter storm could confine your
family at home. An earthquake, flood, tornado or any other emergency could cut
off basic services--gas, water, electricity and telephones--for days.
Water
Store water in plastic containers
such as soft drink bottles. Avoid using containers that will decompose or break,
such as milk cartons or glass bottles. A normally active person needs to drink
at least two quarts of water each day. Hot environments and intense physical
activity can double that amount. Children, nursing mothers and ill people will
need more.
-
Store one gallon of water per
person per day (two quarts for drinking, two quarts for food
preparation/sanitation)*
-
Keep at least a three-day supply
of water for each person in your household.
Food
Store at least a three-day supply of
non-perishable food. Select foods that require no refrigeration, preparation or
cooking and little or no water. If you must heat food, pack a can of sterno.
Select food items that are compact and lightweight.
*Include a selection of the
following foods in your emergency Supplies Kit:
-
Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits
and vegetables
-
Canned juices, milk, soup (if
powdered, store extra water)
-
Staples--sugar, salt, pepper
-
High energy foods--peanut butter,
jelly, crackers, granola bars, trail mix
-
Vitamins
-
Foods for infants, elderly persons
or persons on special diets
-
Comfort/stress foods--cookies,
hard candy, sweetened cereals, lollipops, instant coffee, tea bags

home and one for each car. A first aid kit* should include:
