MAKE A KIT

What is an emergency survival kit?

An emergency survival kit contains all the basic items, including your plan that you will need to remain comfortable for at least three days immediately after or during an emergency. You should ensure you have all your basic supplies with you. Remember to keep your kit in an easy-to-reach location, and that everyone in your family knows where it is stored.

  • Non-perishable foods
  • Utensils
  • Bottled water (4 litres per person, per day)

Diverse Groups

Remember to include items that might be required to meet any special needs of the members of your family such as infants, people with special needs and disabilities, seniors and pets.
