If you’re concerned about the increase in natural disasters caused by climate change, you’re not alone. It’s essential to have an emergency kit prepared to ensure you and your family are ready for any crisis. We’ve gathered advice from experts on how to build a successful emergency supply kit.
When creating an emergency kit, it’s important to consider both short-term and medium-term needs. Make sure you have enough supplies for at least three days, as it may take time for first responders to provide aid in the aftermath of a disaster. Include items like water filtration tools, non-perishable food, first aid essentials, and personal hygiene items.
Experts such as Alison Hill from LifeStraw and Dr. John Roberts from International Medical Corps recommend stocking up on essential items like water filters, food, and clothing. Make sure to customize your kit to meet your family’s needs and include items that can bring comfort during challenging times.
Don’t forget about your pets! Amber Batteiger recommends preparing an emergency go-bag for your furry friends with food, water, medications, and other essentials.
Check out our list of recommended emergency kit items, including a first aid set, a water filter straw, emergency food supply, crank weather radio, solar flashlight, multi-tool, emergency whistles, and a solar-powered power bank.
