One kit, six emergencies

Each emergency leans on a different part of the kit

The guide covers what matters most in the six events most likely to cut a household off for three days.

Apartment blocks in darkness during a power outageGrid down

Power outage

Light, phone power and news go first. Headlamp, power bank and a battery or hand-crank radio.

Snow-buried street with ice-coated power linesCold

Winter storm

Without heating, cold is the main risk. Sleeping bag or wool blanket, dry layers, and a CO alarm with any fuel heater.

Floodwater reaching the porches of suburban housesWater

Flood

Tap water and paperwork suffer first. Bottled water, purification tablets and documents in a waterproof pouch.

Wildfire burning along a forested hillside at duskEvacuate

Wildfire

You may get minutes to leave. A grab-bag by the door with masks, documents, cash and spare keys.

Cracked road and fallen bricks after an earthquakeNo warning

Earthquake

No warning, then cut services. Sturdy shoes and gloves near the bed, stored water and two agreed meeting points.

Village streets covered in grey volcanic ashAsh

Volcanic ash

Ash gets into lungs, eyes and open water. Face masks, covered water containers and glasses or goggles.
