72 hour Emergency Kits should be prepared with great consideration for the type of emergencies expected in your locality whether it be for hurricane, earthquake, flooding and etc. Help may not be readily available or evacuation may not be possible. Stow away sustenance and equipment in a sturdy container that is easily transportable. The use of 5 or 6 gallon buckets or up to a 20 inch duffle bag can effortlessly fit in your vehicle if evacuation is necessary. It is also better to spread the weight of your emergency gear in smaller containers than to move a heavy trunk, full of equipment.
There are 8 basic human needs covered by a superior emergency kit and they should address Food, Water, Shelter, First Aid, Communication, Tools, Lighting and Sanitation. It is imperative that each component is of better or higher quality for it to perform at such dire situations. The components of an emergency kit should also be appropriate for the intended use. Some kits available on the market offer only a 2400 calorie food bar. Most manufacturers of the food bars only recommend this to supply a person of daily nutrients (1200 cal/day) good for two days or 24 hours. Therefore, a 3600 calorie food bar per person should be sufficient if food were to last for 3 days or 72 hours. In addition to the basic needs, personal effects should also be integrated in the emergency kit. For instance, extra pair of eyeglasses or hearing aid, maintenance medication, cash and personal protection equipment. Looting becomes an act of survival in disaster affected areas. It is important to be able to protect your self and property in those times. A sound emergency plan before disaster strikes will provide peace of mind. In an actual situation, there’s no time to think. Your reaction will depend on how well you planned.
