Make Your Emergency Kit

Following a major disaster the usual services we take for granted, such as running water, refrigeration, and telephones, may be unavailable. Experts recommend that you should be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least three days. Store your household disaster kit in an easily accessible location.  Put contents in a large, watertight container (e.g. a large plastic garbage can with a lid and wheels) that you can move easily.

You have to take with you and kit should include:
Water at least one bottle for every person per day
Food ready to eat or requiring minimal water
Manual can opener and other cooking supplies
Plates, utensils and other feeding supplies
First Aid kit and instructions
A copy of important documents and phone numbers
Warm clothes and rain gear for each family member.
Heavy work gloves
Disposable camera
Unscented liquid household bleach and an eyedropper for water purification
Personal hygiene things, feminine supplies, hand sanitizer and soap
Plastic sheeting, duct tape and utility knife for covering broken windows
Tools such as a crowbar, hammer and nails, staple gun, adjustable wrench and bungee cords.
Blanket or sleeping bag.
Large duty plastic bags and a plastic bucket for waste and sanitation.
Any special-needs items for children, seniors or people with disabilities. 
A component of your disaster kit is your survival bag. Put the following items together in a backpack or another easy to carry container in case you must go out fast.  Prepare one Go-bag for each family member and make sure each has an I.D. tag. You may not be at home when an emergency strikes so keep some additional supplies in your car and at work, considering what you would need for your immediate safety.
