Build Your Own Emergency Kit

Emergencies don't plan ahead, but you can. Whether it's a natural disaster like a wildfire or an earthquake, or even a power outage, you may not have time to gather necessary supplies. An emergency kit is critical for sustaining you and your family for at least 72 hours when basic services are unavailable. Your kit should contain food, water, medication, first aid kit, flashlight, and tools among  other important items. Knowing you're prepared before a disaster can reduce anxiety and stress and allows you to focus on staying safe and helping your family and neighbors.
