72-Hour Kits
72 Hour Kits are personal emergency kits that can be taken with an individual in the event of evacuation. They contain essential hygiene, food, and survival supplies to last the person through 3 days (72 hours). In organizing your kits, please in bear in mind two things: Weight and Water. Weight, because you should only pack what you can carry. Water, because this is the element you're most likely to experience in transit. I suggest packing your items individually in zip-locks as a preventative measure against water damage, and convenience so you're not having to sort through 10 items for just a single item.
The best site to visit: www.lifesecure.com with the best kits specialized to the top 10 emergency situations; also an on-line store for masks, self-heating meals, smoke kits, radios, QuikClot, lanterns, heatsheilds, id. bracelets, and more!
