What is an Emergency Kit – and Why Do I Need One?

January 1, 2021 Sunset Survival
0 Comments

Many people ask the question, “What is an emergency kit?” Simply put, an emergency kit (for earthquake, hurricane, power outage, storm or other occurrence) is a collection of basic items your household or workplace may need in the event of an emergency.

Emergency planning experts at FEMA and other Federal agencies have issued a reminder to assemble your kit well in advance of an emergency. You may have to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you. You will probably not have time to search around or shop for the disaster supplies you require, at a time when you most need them.

Be aware that you may need to survive on your own after a major power outage or disaster situation occurs. This means having your own emergency food, water and other important supplies on hand in sufficient quantities to sustain yourself, your family and workplace for at least 72 hours. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene when possible after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. You could receive help in hours–or it may take days or longer.

Additionally, basic services such as electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment and telephones may be cut off for days, or even a week or more. Your emergency supplies kit should include plenty of survival essentials to help you manage during these outages.

Too busy to shop around for all the needed supplies to make your own emergency kit? Sunset Survival makes it easy for busy people to get prepared! We carry a wide range of kits to suit every budget! (Contact us at info@sunsetsurvival.com to create a custom kit for your organization!)

Emergency preparedness provides peace of mind and safety for yourself and your loved ones, and ensures that essential survival supplies will be on hand and ready-to-grab when you most need them! Now is the ideal time to make sure your emergency supplies kit is in place and up to date! Make sure every member of your household and workplace knows where your home and auto survival kits are located.
