72-Hour Emergency Kits: Essential Preparedness for Every Household

A 72-hour emergency kit is a critical component of any emergency preparedness plan. These kits are designed to provide all the essentials you and your family need to survive for up to three days following a disaster or emergency. From natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and wildfires to unexpected events like power outages or evacuations, having a well-stocked 72-hour emergency kit can make all the difference.

Why Do You Need a 72-Hour Emergency Kit?

Emergencies can strike without warning, leaving you without access to food, water, or essential services. A 72-hour emergency kit ensures that you have the necessities on hand, giving you time to assess the situation, stay safe, and wait for help to arrive. These kits are vital in scenarios where evacuation is required, or when you need to shelter in place for an extended period. Our kits are designed for easy grab-and-go in case of a quick evacuation and can be stored in your home, car, or workplace.

Key Reasons to Have a 72-Hour Kit:

  • Natural Disasters: Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods can disrupt access to basic needs. A 72-hour kit provides the essentials to survive these events.
  • Evacuation Scenarios: If you need to leave your home quickly, having a ready-made emergency kit allows you to focus on safety rather than scrambling to gather supplies.
  • Power Outages: Extended power outages can limit access to food, water, and other essentials. With a 72-hour kit, you have immediate access to what you need.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing you are prepared for the unexpected reduces stress and anxiety, allowing you to respond more effectively in a crisis.

What’s Inside Our 72-Hour Emergency Kits?

Our 72-hour emergency kits are curated with items to cover basic survival needs. The contents may vary based on the type of kit, but common contents include:

  • Food and Water: Calorie-dense food bars, water pouches, and water purification tablets.
  • Shelter and Warmth: Mylar blankets, rain ponchos, tube tents, and hand warmers.
  • Tools and Supplies: Multi-tool knives, paracord, duct tape, work gloves, and light sticks.
  • Communication and Lighting: Flashlights, radios, and whistles for signaling.
  • First Aid and Hygiene: First aid kits, hygiene supplies, and more.

General Emergency Preparedness: Beyond the 72-Hour Kit

While a 72-hour emergency kit is a crucial part of any preparedness strategy, there are additional steps you should take to ensure you and your family are ready for emergencies:

  • Create an Emergency Plan: Develop a family emergency plan that includes meeting points, communication methods, and evacuation routes. Make sure everyone in your household knows the plan. For a free plan template, or a handy pocket-plan, check out our resources page.
  • Stay Informed: Keep up to date on the types of emergencies that are most likely to occur in your area. Sign up for local alerts and know how to respond to each type of disaster.
  • Expand Your Survival Kit: Consider adding extra supplies to extend your preparedness beyond 72 hours. Items like additional food, water, personal medications, and important documents should be part of a longer-term emergency plan. Pre-built 1 or 2 week kits are also available here.
  • Practice Regular Drills: Conduct regular emergency drills with your family to ensure everyone knows what to do and where to go in case of an emergency. Want to learn more about family emergency drills? Checkout our Youtube channel – we have a video just for you.
