- First aid kit with essential medications
- Canned food and a manual can opener
- At least 3 gallons of water per household member
- Protective clothing, rainwear and bedding or sleeping bags
- Battery powered radio, flashlight and extra batteries
- Special items for infants, elderly or disabled family members
