Having emergency kit supplies prepared may give you the resources you and your family need to stay safe:

A catastrophe or emergency could leave you without power and/or help for several days, so take the steps to be prepared with an emergency kit. The basics of any emergency kit should include water and food.

The American Red Cross recommends one gallon of water per person, per day and recommends a three-day supply for evacuations a two-week supply for sheltering at home.

Non-perishable, easy-to-prepare foods that your family is willing to eat should go into your kit. When preparing a kit, consider:

• Canned meats, fruits and vegetables

• Pasteurized milk and fruit juices

• Protein or fruit bars

• Dry cereal or granola

• Peanut butter

• Dried fruit

• High energy food like canned lentils, canned beans or crackers

• Comfort foods

Additional items for a basic survival kit include:

• A first-aid kit

• Medications including a seven-day supply of all prescription medication everyone in the household may need.

• Equipment such as a battery-powered radio, flashlight, extra batteries, can opener, duct tape, a whistle, cellphone chargers, extra cash, blankets or sleeping bags.

• Documents can also be vital to have in an emergency including copies of personal documents such as medication lists and pertinent medical information, proof of address, passports or other forms of ID and copies of birth certificates and insurance policies.

Having a good, basic home emergency kit may help make dealing with severe storms and emergencies a little easier.
