Water should always be ready to grab. Containers can be filled and stored days in advance. Gallon jugs or larger receptacles can also be purchased and available.

A good first aid guide and any medications taken by your family members should also be included. Communication devices are also necessary. Consider a two-way radio, a regular battery or solar radio, and cell phones with battery chargers. Extra batteries will also be needed.
Other items needed will include flashlights, matches, lighters, a hammer or hatchet, and a manual can opener. Sanitation items, soap, and baby and pet supplies may also be needed depending on your family dynamics. Always include contact information for other family members, personal documents such as drivers licenses, birth certificates and social security cards, and maps of the surrounding areas.
Shelter will depend on the type of emergency. If you are able to stay in your own home, this may not be a priority but if your home is destroyed, it will be much more of an issue. You may need to have a tent on hand that will house your entire family. If this is not feasible, stock up on several large tarps, stakes and rope. Sleeping bags are the best choice but a variety of large, warm blankets will also do. Prepper companies also offer blankets made of Mylar which will assist in keeping the heat in.
