Education and Planning

The First Three Days of an Emergency-72 Hour Kits

Water Storage and Replenishment

  • Water Storage Options
    In most emergency situations, fresh drinking water is the most important item you can store. It is recommended at home to have both portable and stationary emergency water storage.

  • Practicing Water Conservation
    We take many things for granted, but when they become scarce, we sit up and become aware. One of these commodities is water.

  • Water Filtration and Purification
    Water is so essential for survival, it is wise to have both a stored supply of drinking water and a way to acquire water for your continuing needs.

  • Emergency Essential's Water Challenge-One Gallon of Water for a Day
    It is far less stressful to challenge yourself and your family to survive on your supplies voluntarily than to have to turn to those supplies during an emergency.

Food Storage

Warmth, Shelter and Clothing

  • Emergency Warmth
    You can get hypothermia in as little as 20 minutes if you are not dressed properly.

  • Emergency Shelters
    After food and water, shelter is the top priority in survival. A shelter will not only provide you with protection from the elements and possibly animals, but will provide you with warmth.

  • Staying Warm
    Few discomforts are more annoying and potentially dangerous than being cold.

  • Exchanging During Emergencies
    Many of us take for granted the ease with which we withdraw cash from an ATM, drive to the grocery store, and take food off the shelves in exchange for paper money. During emergencies that convenience is not always available.

  • Returning Home
