How to Create Home Emergency Kit
When disaster strikes—power outages, severe weather, earthquakes, or other emergencies—stores quickly run out of supplies and roads may be impassable. This preparedness task involves assembling essential supplies to keep your household safe and self-sufficient for at least 72 hours. Your kit should include water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit, important documents, cash, and any medications your family needs. Taking time to assemble and maintain this kit means peace of mind knowing you're ready for whatever emergency comes your way.
