Building Your Emergency Kits
Emergency kits are essential because they provide crucial supplies and tools to help you survive and stay safe during unexpected situations like natural disasters, power outages, or other emergencies. Having a well-prepared kit ensures access to necessities such as food, water, medical supplies, and communication tools, allowing you to respond quickly and effectively when resources may be limited or unavailable. This preparation can reduce stress, prevent harm, and increase your chances of staying safe until help arrives.
The checklists below are designed to help you assemble emergency kits for essential areas: basic emergency supplies, pets or service animals, your vehicle, and first aid.
