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:

  1. A 3 day supply of nonperishable food and water (1 gallon per day per person).
  2. A change of clothing and footwear per person.
  3. One blanket or sleeping bag per person.
  4. A First Aid Kit including prescription medicines.
  5. Emergency Tools.
  6. A battery powered radio with extra batteries.
  7. A flashlight with extra batteries.
  8. An extra set of car keys.
  9. A credit card or cash.
  10. Special items needed for infant, elderly or disabled members of your family.
