Essential Preparedness Supplies

Which emergency preparedness supplies should you have? Take a look at our top 10 preparedness items to always have handy!

1. Water is vital during emergencies. People can last longer without food, but 3 days without drinking water is detrimental to survival. Purchasing emergency water with a lengthy shelf life will ensure safe drinking water for years.

2. Emergency Food is an important item to keep in your emergency kit. Although you can survive longer without food than water, going too long with no food is a major health risk.

3. First Aid Kits can give you peace of mind in case of emergencies. Some basic items include band-aids, antibacterial cream, gauze, thermometers, and tweezers.

4. Whistles are useful to include in an emergency kit in case of situations where they are the only audible signal for emergency responders. The sound of a whistle during an emergency can signal that someone needs immediate assistance.

5. Radios are a vital item to have in case other forms of communication go down. Whether battery operated or hand crank, a radio is a safe bet for hearing and receiving updates during an emergency.

6. Flashlights are an important asset to an emergency kit. By using traditional flashlights, phone batteries can be saved for other uses.

7. Batteries are necessary during emergencies. Keeping them nearby for items like radios, flashlights, and other electronics is vital.

8. Duct Tape can be used as a short-term fix during an emergency. It can also be used in place of bandages in a worst-case scenario.

9. Medications and Toiletries that are useful to you and your family are an important part of an emergency kit. If you take medicine daily, ensuring you have it during an emergency can save your life.

10. Cell phone chargers and portable chargers are as important as ever. In case telecommunications are available during an emergency, having access to those via cell phone is essential.
