THE ESSENTIALS IN A 72-HOUR EMERGENCY KIT

In the event of an emergency, the 72-hour pack contains essentials to last you and your family three days.


The essential things in your 72-hour emergency kit:


  • Bottled water- Four liters of water per person each day should be stored.


  • Medication- Include any prescribed medications you or your family members are currently taking. If you receive medical treatment at a clinic or hospital, seek out what to do in an emergency from your health care provider.


  • Wind-up flashlight and radio​- Many outdoor stores have flashlight/radio combo devices that can be wound up. If you use a battery-powered flashlight or radio, keep additional batteries on hand.


  • Dust masks and duct tape​- These items will assist you in establishing a shelter-in-place situation.


  • Personal sanitation items​- Include moist towelettes, rubbish bags, and toilet paper among your supplies.


  • Supplies for your baby and pet- If necessary, include baby food, diapers, formula, additional clothing, and baby wipes in your kit. If you have a pet, make sure you have a plan in place for your pet's evacuation, including water, food, and toys.


  • Food- Food that will last at least three days and requires little preparation, such as canned or dry food and energy bars.


  • First Aid kit- In your house and vehicle, you should keep a first-aid kit that includes the following items:


  • A variety of bandages gloves gauze pads
  • Antiseptic\Scissors
  • Tweezers

If space allows, make a fast ice pack survival blanket with needle and thread.


  • External battery pack or wind-up phone charger- It's possible that you'll be without power for days or that you'll have to leave your home. You can still receive updates and updates on your mobile device if phone lines are too busy.


  • Whistle- If necessary, a whistle will aid in attracting attention.


  • Warm clothes and blankets or sleeping bags- Survival blankets are substantially warmer than blankets or sleeping bags. Although you may wish to bring both, survival blankets are not a substitute for genuine blankets.


  • Cash in small bills and coins- Because debit and credit cards may not work in an emergency or if the electricity goes out, you should bring cash.
