What’s in Your Survival Kit?

Emergency kits are essential  for the first critical hours & days after a disaster.

                                                                                  Grab & Go Bags 

Have 1 bag for each person & pets in your house.   Keep it by your bed where it is ready to “Grab & Go”.

A basic emergency supply kit could include the following recommended items:

Water - one gallon of water/person/day for at least three days, for drinking & sanitation

Food - at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food

Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert

Flashlight  - First aid kit   - Extra batteries -   Whistle to signal for help

Dust mask to help filter contaminated air, plastic sheeting & duct tape to shelter-in-place

Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation

Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities  - Manual can opener for food

Local maps     Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery

Expect 911 to be overwhelmed and federal relief takes 3 - 7 days to arrive.
