• Food & Water: The first thing you should get when building an emergency kit is food and water. The Red Cross recommends having a two-week supply of water on hand, which translates to one gallon per person per day. You should also have a two-week supply of non-perishable food that can be eaten without any preparation in case you lose power.
• Gadgets: At a minimum you should have a hand-crank radio, a first aid kit, a manual can opener, flashlights, batteries, and emergency blankets on hand. It’s also important to have copies of personal documents and cash on hand just in case.
• Medication & Supplies: It’s important to have extra medications and prescriptions in your emergency kit, as well as pet supplies and baby supplies if needed.
