About

This discussion guide describes how to build an individual emergency kit by including supplies you use every day, like food, water, and medicine. It suggests keeping important documents in a watertight container and making sure you have batteries or chargers for any equipment. If you have pets or service animals, add their supplies too. Store your kit somewhere easy to find and check it every six months to keep it up to date.
