MUST HAVE: Essential Things To Your Home Emergency Survival Kit

Storing emergency supplies at home is an essential part of keeping you and your family safe in a crises situation. It is important to prepare proper supplies you may need in the event of an emergency or disaster. Here are the list of basic emergency preparedness supplies that you should have at home for yourself and your family as well.

• Water (for drinking and sanitation)
• Food (for at least a three-day supply)
• Flashlight
• Extra batteries
• Whistle (to signal for help)
• Dust masks, N95 and surgical masks
• First Aid Kit
• Medical Supplies
• Sanitation and personal hygiene items
• Multi-purpose tools
• Copies of personal documents (medication list and pertinent medical information, proof of address, deed/lease to home, passports, birth certificates, insurance policies)
• Matches

To assemble your kit, store these items in airtight plastic bags and put your entire disaster supplies kit in one or two easy-to-carry containers such as plastic bins or bag. And since we do not know where we will be when an emergency occurs, always remember to prepare supplies for home, work and vehicles.
