Emergency Supply Kits

Do you have an emergency supply kit?

Every family needs supplies on hand.  Start your emergency kit with these essential items:

  • Three days of food that won’t spoil, such as canned goods and packaged foods.
  • Three days of water, one gallon per person per day.
  • A hand crank and/or battery-powered radio and extra batteries.
  • A written family emergency plan.

Once you gather these basics, put them in waterproof containers that you can carry or roll in case you need to leave your home quickly.

Other items are useful in an emergency supply kit, to learn more, visit www.ReadyVirginia.gov.
