Everyone should have a basic emergency supplies kit in their homes. It should be stored in some out of the way place in water tight plastic containers and you should resist removing items from the emergency supplies for every day use. IN addition to several days of nonperishable food and enough water for the whole family for a week, there are some less common items people may not think of. You will need a manual can opener, battery operated radio and clock, extra toilet paper, diapers and baby wipes, duct tape, outdoor extension cord, insect repellent and sunscreen, garbage bags, disposable plates and silverware.
Once you have considered basic survival needs you should also consider other needs. You should have a supply of books, games, and a deck of cards to occupy the time. A modest supply of cash may be needed and if you have the capacity you store some extra gas for vehicles or generators. Long term loss of electricity may include banks, ATM machines, and gas pumps.
