Your Emergency Kit


Be 2 Weeks Ready

A disaster can happen anywhere, at any time. Think about how prepared you'd be if an earthquake happened and your household had to survive two weeks without running water, working toilets and functioning appliances. Or what if a winter storm causes prolonged power outages, do you have the things your home and family needs to be safe and comfortable?

Build an emergency first aid kit for your home and vehicle.

Here are a few supplies to include that will help you during a power outage:

  • Emergency blankets and sleeping bags
  • Flashlights and extra batteries
  • Battery-powered radio
  • Battery-powered night lights
  • Power banks to recharge phones and electronics
  • Alternative cooking appliances that do not require electricity or gas
  • Waste and hygiene disposal plan
  • Back-up storage plan for refrigerated medications
