Emergency Kits

Are you prepared for an emergency? I am hoping all my East Coast friends have an Emergency Kit ready! Last year I got a Grab-n-Go Emergency Kit on Amazon and now I feel ready if we had an emergency. This kit contains food, water, emergency blankets, a First Aid kit (33 piece), two 12-hour safety lightsticks, dust masks, gloves, emergency whistle, emergency ponchos and pocket tissues. The kit comes in a handy backpack that we can store in the basement and grab easy in any emergency!

Here are a few tips from readers on making an emergency kit:

It’s far cheaper to create your own kit. Use an old backpack and pick up items from camping sales–they usually start Memorial Day.

I have an emergency kit that is stored in a big Rubbermaid box. It has a large first aid kit, toiletries including toilet paper, multipurpose tools, socks, underwear and thermal underwear, food, waterproof matches, paper, pens, important papers, deck of cards, garbage and ziploc bags, dust masks, gloves, emergency whistle, emergency ponchos, emergency blankets, and lots of flashlights, batteries, and a battery powered radio.

I have an emergency bag in my basement. I check it every 6 months. I keep toiletries, bandaids, flashlight, water, protein bars, batteries, baggies, trashbages, an extra outfit for every family member. I have books and a radio. I add to it whenever possible to make sure I have everything. I also have a small emergency kit in my car.

Do you have an emergency kit? What do you have in your kit?
