Pack the essentials.
Make room for your people.

• SKIPPY Creamy Peanut Butter 16.3 oz

Keep a battery-powered or hand-crank radio. A NOAA Weather Radio with tone alerts can provide local weather updates. Test reception and alert settings before you need them.

• Midland ER210
• Midland ER310
• Midland ER40

Put a light where you can reach it in the dark. Check its power source before choosing spare batteries.

• Goal Zero Lighthouse 600
• Goal Zero Lighthouse Mini
• Goal Zero Lighthouse Micro Flash

Keep a simple whistle with your bag so it is available without phone power.

• Coghlan's Safety Whistle

Choose respiratory protection for the actual hazard and follow its instructions. A particulate respirator does not protect against carbon monoxide or other gases.

• 3M 8210 N95 Particulate Respirator

Keep these together if included in your local shelter plan. Follow official instructions for the incident; small repair-tape rolls alone are not a complete sealing kit.

• SOL Duct Tape, 2 Pack

Know your utility provider’s directions before an emergency. Leave gas restoration to a qualified professional.

• Crescent AC28VS 8-inch Adjustable Wrench

Try it with the cans in your food supply. Choose a grip and turning action you can use comfortably.

Plan how to collect waste if normal services stop. Cleansing wipes and surface disinfecting wipes have different jobs.

Include cups, plates or bowls, and utensils. Choose reusable or disposable supplies around your available safe cleaning water.

• SOL Emergency Blanket XL
• SOL Sport Utility Blanket

Pack suitable layers, dry socks, and shoes you can walk in. Use clothing you already own where possible.

• Coghlan's Rain Poncho

• Coghlan's Lightweight Dry Bag - 25L

Write down contacts, instructions, and updates without relying on a phone. Use a notebook and pencil from home.

Ask your pharmacist or clinician about arranging at least a week of prescription medicines and a storage plan for anything that needs refrigeration. Keep current prescription information with your supplies.

Review your usual over-the-counter supplies and expiration dates with a pharmacist. Choose medicines for the people who will use them; keep original labels.

Keep a usable spare pair if available, plus the lens-care products and cases you normally need.

Plan suitable batteries, chargers, mobility aids, and support contacts around daily needs. An ordinary power station listing is not medical-backup certification.

For formula-fed infants, single-serving ready-to-feed formula is the safest emergency option. Plan feeding and cleaning supplies for your own child, with safe water and soap. Do not use equipment you cannot clean safely.

Pack the right size, rash-care supplies, clean clothes, and sealable bags. Review infant supplies monthly as needs change.

Include familiar food, water, medicines, waste bags, and items needed to handle and transport your animal safely.

Pack a few familiar activities that work without charging. Choose for the ages and interests in your household.
