Emergency Three Day Kit

The best time to assemble a three-day emergency supply kit is well before you'll ever need it. Most people already have these items around the house and it is a matter of assembling them now.

Start with an easy to carry water tight container. You can purchase a 50 gallon storage container fairly cheap. A large plastic trash can will do, or line a sturdy cardboard box with a couple of trash bags. Next gather up the following items and place them in your container.
Essentials:

• Water - 1 gallon per person per day
• Prescription drugs
• Water purification kit or bleach
• First aid kit and first aid book
• Pre-cooked, non-perishable foods such as canned meats, granola bars, instant soup, cereals, etc.

• Anti-bacterial hand wipes or gel
• Blanket or sleeping bag per person
