What is a 72-hour Emergency Survival Kit?
Past disasters have shown that it may take up to 72 hours for emergency personal to reach all those effected by a major disaster situation. Everyone should be prepared to survive those first critical days without help from others. A 72-hour Emergency / Disaster Survival Kit is a collection of survival supplies such as food, water, shelter, first aid and sanitation to sustain each member of your family, co-workers or school children for a minimum of 3 days. These items are stored in a container and are kept until they are needed.
