September is National Preparedness Month!
Week 2: Build a Kit
An emergency kit helps keep you and your loved ones safe and comfortable until help arrives. You don’t have to assemble everything at once—start with items you already have at home, like canned food and basic first aid supplies.
If someone in your household relies on medication, medical equipment, or has a disability, be sure to plan for those daily needs as part of your kit. Pets need emergency supplies too—include them in your planning.
