• This ensures that people can prepare themselves at work, school or on the go.

Why it is essential to have an emergency kit?

02. What We Need

The Important Items That Should Be Inside The Emergency Kit Are:

• FLASHLIGHT
• BLANKET
• RADIO
• Extra Batteries

• Food Supplies
• FIRST AID KIT
• TOILETRIES
• WATER CONTAINERs

Such as:

• Canned tuna, beans, meat, fruit, etc.
• Crackers or Biscuits
• Shelf-stable beverages.

To begin with, food supplies is important for several reasons. It is important because in the event of calamities such as floods, hurricanes, and the like, these can ensure your family’s survival until help arrives, or until the roads to the family’s food source clear up.

Food Supplies

• Cotton balls and cutips
• Painkillers

• Safety pins

• Scissors

Supplies that should be inside the kit:

• An antiseptic
• Adhesive bandage

• Gauze dressing

Whether it's a minor or serious injury, it's a good idea for households to have first aid kits available and fully stocked aid kits are designed to manage all types of injuries including basic cuts, scrapes and burns.

First Aid Kit

• And other small bathroom supplies.

• Soap
• Shampoo

• Mouthwash
• Toothbrush and Toothpaste

Personal hygiene items include:

Even in a disaster scenario, hygiene is still important. Keeping clean can help maintain a sense of normality and prevent the spread of disease, especially if water systems are shut down. More Prepared's hygiene kits contain soap, toiletries, and other items that will help you stay fresh during an emergency.

Toiletries

Potable drinking water is the most essential element of survival. After an emergency, securing safe, drinkable water will be your top priority after evacuation and treatment of injuries. Include a 10-day supply of drinking and cleaning water per person in your household. This equates to at least 1-gallon per person.

Water Supplies

Flashlights will give you reassurance by providing you with the ability to see when you are faced with one of human's most common fears: the dark. In addition to lighting the way at night, flashlights can be used to find people who require rescue, and a great tool for people who need rescuing to signal for help. If you are stranded at night without a flashlight, it is nearly impossible for rescuers to see you.

Battery Supplies

Batteries are essential so keeping them in your disaster stash makes sense. It can be helpful to keep a whistle on a keychain or taped under your desk for fast access during a disaster.

Cell sites can be down during disasters, so it helps to have a radio that can keep you updated on relief and rescue efforts.

The key to surviving at night is staying warm. Emergency thermal blankets or space blankets help to prevent heat loss from the body
