emergency kits for cars
preparing an emergency kit for the home and for the car?
I just recently learned that we live right on a fault line, and I think it would be smart to put together an earthquake emergency kit that's easy to grab in case of an emergency and we need to get out.
our household includes:
me, my husband and our 2 small dogs. we live on the 2nd floor of a condo complex.
here is what i have so far...please add what else we will need:
2 gallons of water
crackers and protein bars
2 sweatshirts, 2 pairs sweatpants, 4 pairs underwear and socks
4 blankets
first aid kit
pack of AA batteries
Flashlight
Pocket knife
bag of dog food and dish
lighter
i plan to put all of this in a large duffle bag and store it in the hallway closet, which is right in between the living room and our bedroom.
At a minimum, have the basic supplies listed below. Keep supplies in an easytocarry emergency preparedness kit that you can use at home or take with you in case you must evacuate.
Water—one gallon per person, per day (3day supply for evacuation, 2week supply for home)
Food—nonperishable, easytoprepare items (3day supply for evacuation, 2week supply for home)
Flashlight
Batterypowered or handcrank radio (NOAA Weather Radio, if possible)
Extra batteries
First aid kit
Medications (7day supply) and medical items

Copies of personal documents (medication list and pertinent medical information, proof of address, deed/lease to home, passports, birth certificates, insurance policies)

Consider the needs of all family members and add supplies to your kit. Suggested items to help meet additional needs are:

Baby supplies (bottles, formula, baby food, diapers)
Games and activities for children
Pet supplies (collar, leash, ID, food, carrier, bowl)
Twoway radios
Extra set of car keys and house keys
