Everyone should have some basic supplies on hand in order to survive several days if an emergency occurs. This list of emergency supply kit items is only a starting point. It is important that individuals review this list and consider the unique needs of their family, including pets, for items to include. Individuals should also consider having at least two emergency supply kits, one full kit at home and smaller portable kits in their workplace, vehicle or other places they spend time.  \nFederal Emergency Management Agency  \nWashington, DC 20472","cbCaicB3D5VxDanr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicB3D5VxDanr","pdf",242977,"English","# Emergency Supply Kit: Recommended Items\n## Emergency reference, first aid, and signaling\n## Shelter-in-place and sanitation items\n# Additional Items to Consider Adding\n## Family documents, cash, and reference materials\n## Clothing, sleeping gear, and hygiene","[{\"question\":\"What are the core recommended items for a basic emergency supply kit?\",\"answer\":\"Include water and non-perishable food, a battery-powered or hand crank radio with extra batteries, flashlights with extra batteries, a first aid kit, and a whistle for help signaling.\"},{\"question\":\"What additional supplies should be considered beyond the basic list?\",\"answer\":\"Review unique household needs, including prescription medications and glasses, infant formula and diapers, pet food and supplies, and important family documents in a portable waterproof container.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the guidance recommend having more than one emergency kit?\",\"answer\":\"It encourages keeping a full kit at home and smaller portable kits in places like the workplace, vehicle, or other frequently used locations to improve coverage during emergencies.\"}]","Emergency Supply Kit Checklist - Recommended and Additional Items | PDF",1790540757]
