It's absolutely essential to have an emergency kit, or to build one tailored to your needs. Don’t put it off or assume you’ll be fine without it. Being prepared can make a real difference when things go wrong.

In recent years, we’ve faced all kinds of unexpected events: earthquakes, floods, the pandemic, severe snowstorms, and most recently, a massive power outage across parts of Europe. These situations have shown just how unprepared many people are.

Think about how much worse that blackout could have been if it happened in the middle of winter, during a heatwave, or if it had lasted for days instead of just hours. The consequences could have been far more serious.

Please take the time to prepare now, even if it’s just a few small steps. That way, you won’t be caught off guard when something bad happens and your future self will be glad you did.

Heavy-duty, durable backpack

LED flashlight (with extra batteries)

Battery-powered or hand crank AM/FM radio (NOAA Weather Radio, if possible)

Portable backup battery or power bank for mobile devices (with phone charger)

Candles, matches, lighter or a fire starter in a waterproof container

First-aid kit

Mess kits, paper cups, plates, paper towels and plastic utensils

Moist towelettes, garbage bags, and plastic ties (for sanitation)

Feminine supplies and personal hygiene items

Non-perishable food (such as canned goods or packaged items)

Manual can-opener (optional)

Water (bottled and/or water purification tablets—for drinking and washing)

Prescription medications and glasses

Non-prescription medications (pain relievers, anti-diarrhea medication, antacids, laxatives)

Cash (Do not rely on credit cards or debit cards)

Important documents: Copies of insurance policies, medical info, bank records, birth certificate and proof of address. Store them electronically or in a waterproof container.

Sleeping bag or emergency blanket

Multi-purpose tool

Not every item on this list may apply to your situation, so choose what makes sense for you. Remember, it's better to have something and not need it than to need it and not have it. Make sure to also keep your kit up to date and replace any expired items as needed.
