It could take several days for help to arrive if power is lost, businesses close and fallen trees block roads during a disaster. Therefore, it is important to have a three-day supply of necessary items for each member of your household.
The list below should be used as a starting point. All materials should be kept in a waterproof container, if possible. For more information, visit ready.gov/kit.
