 72-Hour Kit (Adults)

Every emergency agency in the country recommends having a 72-hour kit available to grab-and-go in an
emergency. Be sure to update your kit every six months to a year, depending on the items you have in it.
Include food you know you will eat and items that can keep you busy during times of inactivity. Be mindful
of storing items that might leak, melt, or affect other items in your bag if they leak or break open (Ziploc
bags might help with this problem.) Attach a tag to the kit or bag with your name, phone number(s), a tag
to remind you to grab your prescriptions/medicines, and a tag to grab your emergency binder. Depending
on the needs of you and/or your family, items you could include in your kit:

 72-Hour Kit (Children)

Children need their own 72-hour kit to meet their dietary needs, hygiene, and comfort items to keep them
occupied during long stretches of time during emergencies. When preparing a backpack or bag for them,
attach a tag to the kit with the child’s name. If your child takes special medications or prescriptions, also
add a tag as a reminder to grab those medicines. Items that could be included in the kit (be sure to rotate
perishable items yearly):

Family picture(s) with names and phone numbers/email addresses (in case they get separated from
you or if you have a child who can’t verbalize who they are)
Water (enough for three days)

 72-Hour Kit (Pets)

Don’t forget to prepare for your animals! They will be hungry, thirsty, and upset with a sudden change of
environment, so make sure you have what’s necessary to keep them comfortable in an emergency. If you’ve
got animals, reptiles, or other types of pets that aren’t dogs and/or cats, you’ll need to consider their needs
when planning a 72-hour kit for them. For dogs and/or cat needs, considering adding these items to a
backpack or other container:

Water/food dish
Photo of the dog (to be circulated in case they get separated from you)
