Do you Have an Emergency Kit? It's never too early to prepare your family and your home for hurricanes, severe weather or natural disasters. Use this guide to help you prepare a basic storm kit, to survive for 48 hours to 1 week or more without electricity. It’s as simple as getting a plastic tote and filling it with the these items and tucking it away until the day comes that you need it. Your basin emergency kit should include these items:

  • Water (one gallon per person per day for at least three days)
  • Food (at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food) 
  • Battery-powered radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert 
  • Flashlight and/or light sticks 
  • First aid kit 
  • Extra batteries 
  • Whistle (to signal for help) 
  • Dust mask (to help filter contaminated air) 
  • Plastic sheeting and duct tape (to shelter in place) 
  • Blankets or sleeping bags 
  • Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties (for personal sanitation) 
  • Basic tools - a hammer, screwdriver, and a wrench or pliers 
  • Manual can opener  
  • Cell phone chargers - including a car charger
