Disaster Response Commission
When a disaster strikes, there is often no time to collect the items you need to get by. That is why you should put together a family disaster kit. Items you may need in your disaster kit will vary in different areas, however you will want to include the following:
- A 3 day supply of nonperishable food and water (1 gallon per day per person).
- A change of clothing and footwear per person.
- One blanket or sleeping bag per person.
- A First Aid Kit including prescription medicines.
- Emergency Tools.
- A battery powered radio with extra batteries.
- A flashlight with extra batteries.
- An extra set of car keys.
- A credit card or cash.
- Special items needed for infant, elderly or disabled members of your family.
