An emergency preparedness kit can help keep your family or housemates safe. Making one is quick and easy, and you probably have most of the items you need already.
Your emergency preparedness kit should include enough supplies to keep you and your family or housemates self-sufficient for at least three days (or 72 hours).
Think about adding in more supplies for anyone who may need extra help during an emergency, such as infants, older adults, and persons with disabilities.
Checklist
Use this checklist to help make your emergency preparedness kit(link is external). Put the supplies in an easy-to-carry container and keep it all in an easy to reach location.
Food and water
Drinking water
You should have enough water to last three days. Each person will need at least four litres of water per day. That means you need at least 12 litres of water for every person in your home. Make sure to add more water if you have pets.
