Plan Ahead

A family emergency kit should include a number of items such as:

• Cash - in small denominations and coins
• Clothing, bedding and sanitation supplies
• Emergency supplies and tools
• First aid kit
• Food and water
• Important family documents in a waterproof, portable container
• Special needs items

The kit should be in an easy-to-carry container and stored in a convenient place known to all family members. You may wish to keep a smaller supply kit in the trunk of your car as well.
