How to Create an Emergency Preparedness Kit for Your Family

Disasters can happen with little warning. Every home should have a 72-hour emergency kit. Here's what you need:

• Water – at least 4 litres per person per day
• Non-perishable food for 3 days
• Manual can opener, flashlight, batteries, candles
• First aid kit, prescription meds, hygiene items
• Copies of important documents and cash
• Cell phone charger, radio, local maps

Store your kit in a waterproof bin and check it twice a year. Visit our Residential Services page for more safety resources.
