What are disaster supply kits?
A disaster supply kit, also known as an emergency supply or survival kit, contains essential items and important documents that will help you and your family during an emergency, and the recovery period following. The most basic of kits will include non-perishable food, water and extra clothing for each person in the household. It will also contain supplies such as blankets, tools, fuel and matches. Kits should also contain copies of important documents such as identification, insurance policies and property ownership papers. All items should be kept in water-tight, portable containers.
