Creating an Emergency Kit

Creating an Emergency Kit

As Californians, many of us know that the “Big One” could be just around the corner. We have to live in a constant state of preparedness. This means having plans for what to do in the event of an earthquake, and having supplies ready. The following is a list of supplies that every household should have stashed away in a safe place where everybody knows, just in case.

• 3 gallons of water per person. This should last each individual 3 days.
• A 3 day supply of non-perishable foods
• Baby food, diapers, and wipes if you have a baby
• Pet food and extra water if you have a pet
• A can opener
• Cups, utensils, and plates
• First aid kit
• Fire extinguisher
• Battery powered, or crank powered, radio and flashlight. Plus extra batteries.
• A whistle
• Portable phone charger
• Prescription medicine and glasses for those who need them
• List of contact info for family members and friends
• Important documents in a waterproof and fireproof container
• Waterproof matches
• A blanket
• A supply of cash for food and travel for at least a week
• A change of clothes and shoes for each family member
• Activities for young children, such as crayons and coloring books

All of this can be very helpful in the event of any emergency. While this can offer a great amount of peace of mind, it is important to remember that certain items should be refreshed every six months or so. Things like canned foods, water, and batteries should be replaced from time to time to ensure they are still good in the event of an earthquake.
