72 Hour Kit Information
Guidelines for Preparing 72-Hour Kits
One of the lessons learned in recent disasters, earthquakes and floods is that no government agency can meet every citizen’s need in an emergency. A large disaster could cut off utilities, public services and access to stores for several days. We have been urged to gather a short-term supply of essential items. Here are some guidelines to maximize the effectiveness of your 72-hour kit:
1. The most important emergency tool is your brain. It is portable, expandable and infinitely adaptable. Fill it with information, protect it from panic.
2. Tailor your kits to meet the needs of your family. Include items that are important to your family, not someone else’s. Include foods you’ll eat, clothes you’ll wear, and games your family finds fun.
3. Emergency kits don’t have to be expensive or elaborate. Build them now with supplies on hand, then upgrade them gradually. Shop discount sales and watch for sales.
4. Your survival supplies must be gathered into a single location BEFORE an emergency occurs. Pack contents in water proof containers. Store everything in backpacks or bags with handles for easy carrying. Put kits in a convenient location that everyone knows.
5. Include multiple solutions to problems. (ie- store water as well as purification tablets, flashlights as well as candles)
6. Plan for comfort as well as survival. Adequate light, food and a good night’s sleep all reduce stress.
7. Your kits should be portable. Keep a list of non-kit items you want to grab if you have time and space.
8. Don’t forget Spot and Fluffy’s needs.
9. Check and update kits every year. A good time to do this is conference time or daylight savings. Check food, water, rotate batteries. Do the clothes still fit the children, you? Is there any insect or water damage?
10. Involve everyone in getting the kits together. If the lights went out tonight how would you cope? Could you entertain yourselves without the TV? How much water would you need if the taps are shut off?
Did you know???
1. Locations for kits should be in a convenient place. (ie- garage, front door closet, back door, children’s rooms, kitchen cupboard, car trunk)
2. Sweats are the best option for clothing. If it is winter, they are warm. In the summer you can cut off the legs and arms to make them shorts and short sleeve. Wool, polypropylene and synthetic fleeces insulate even when wet. Cotton and down do not.
3. Mylar bags hold more than a #10 can, but are not rodent proof. One of the good things about sealing the contents of your kit, you are less likely to “borrow” from it.
4. It would not be fun to have to carry all the 72-hour kits for everyone in the family. It’s nice if they have wheels, straps or handles that children can carry.
5. Water should not be stored in milk jugs, they degrade. Unless sick, injured or in a desert, your body needs less than a cup full the first day, after that, at least a cup per day.
6. Keep a copy of items assembled in your kit, so when you need something you know it is in there and you don’t have to dig through or dump it out to find a safety pin.
7. Stress changes eating habits; try smaller servings of a variety of foods.
8. Store ear plugs. You may have to sleep noisy places such as a bus station, airport or other noisy, public place.
9. Keep sturdy shoes in an easy access place to grab. Disasters often leave debris and foot hazards.
10. Include gloves, mittens, knit or baseball caps.
11. Large garbage bags work as ponchos or rain gear.
12. A first aid manual is a must even if you are trained in this lifesaving action. Your mind may be on other things and stress can make you very forgetful. A bandanna has many uses in first aid and in general.
13. Don’t forget a good pair of scissors.
14. The batteries you usually need in an emergency are C and D cell. Stock up and check every 6 months, to replace if needed.
15. If you leave a pencil and a paper in a glass jar with a lid in the shed or somewhere other than the house, so that everyone knows to write on it to let loved ones know where you are in an emergency. In this jar you could also put an emergency list of addresses and phone numbers of people to contact in case you are not around to give the numbers.
16. A copy of important personal information should be kept in at least the parent’s kit. (ie- SSN’s, checking account #’s, phone list, personal medications)
17. A back up pair of glasses
18. A deck of cards and some instructions can go a long way if you are waiting for help.
19. Insect repellant will keep the mosquitoes at bay if there are puddles of water everywhere.
20. Some emergencies can cause ATM’s and credit card scanners to become inoperative. Cash of some sort is a needed commodity.
21. A crisis or emergency is a high stress time for everyone. It is important to have high energy foods available during these times. Food that is high in calories, even empty calories, is recommended. Besides the nutritional benefit you gain from eating 3 meals a day, there is also a positive psychological benefit from doing things the way you did before a disaster.
