Are you prepared if you need to stay home or leave quickly during an emergency?
An emergency kit can help make sure you and your family have the essentials you need when the unexpected happens.
Consider including:
Water and nonperishable food
Flashlights and extra batteries
First-aid supplies
Necessary medications
Phone chargers or portable power banks
Copies of important documents
Personal hygiene items
Supplies for children, older adults or pets in your household
Keep your supplies together in an easy-to-access location and check your kit periodically to replace expired items.
You don't have to build your emergency kit all at once. Start with the basics and add to it over time.
Be prepared today for what tomorrow may bring.
