72 Hour Kits: Tips, Coupons, and Lists

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).

If it is simply not in your budget to do a complete kit now, then set aside what household items you have in possession into a grocery sack near an exit (like a closet or under the sofa). Include 2 blank checks (unsigned), 3 non-perishable food items, 3 water bottles, 1 change of clothing, hand wipes, duct tape, roe, a pocketknife, and copies of your birth and marriage certificates, and insurance(s)
