List you should haveGeneral Supplies
This is a suggested list of supplies and items to have on hand or you can gather together, of course, you'll add to
this list depending on your preferences, but this is a start. You may need to think about a back-up heating source.
Get any thing else that you think you might need. Imagine all stores being closed for at least 2 months.
► Take an inventory of the non-grocery commodity items in your kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and
garage. Determine how much of each item your family needs per month or per year. Based upon the
estimated consumption rates, establish a stocking level of your essential and desirable household
supplies. Be sure it is adequate to see your family through several months of economic disruption.
► Acquire both over-the-counter and prescription medications for as many common medical conditions as
possible, even if you are perfectly healthy right now.
► Acquire personal protection equipment, such as respirators, disposable gloves, sanitation supplies, and
any items that will help you care for someone with the flu.
► Assume that you will not leave your home to go shopping for several months. Even if you choose to shop,
assume that a pandemic will make everything scarce.
► Hospitals are not prepared to care for the vast numbers of people who will become sick, so you must
accept the fact that it will be completely up to you to provide medical care in your home for every family
member who becomes sick. Assume that you will not have access to a medical care facility for several
months.
Evacuation Kit
In the event you need to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you, you probably will not have
the opportunity to shop or search for the supplies you and your family will need. Every household should
assemble a disaster supplies kit and keep it up to date. Disaster supplies kit items should be stored in a portable
container(s) near, or as close as possible to, the exit door. Review the contents of your kit at least once per year
or as your family needs change. Also, consider having emergency supplies in each vehicle and at your place of
employment. The following should be included in your basic disaster supplies kit:
► Three-day supply of nonperishable food and manual can opener.
► Three-day supply of water (one gallon of water per person, per day).
► Portable, battery-powered radio or television, and extra batteries.
► Flashlight and extra batteries. Whistle.
► First aid kit and manual. Sanitation and hygiene items (hand sanitizer, moist towelettes, and toilet paper).
► Matches in waterproof container.
► Extra clothing and blankets.
► Kitchen accessories and cooking utensils.
► Photocopies of identification and credit cards. Cash and coins.
► Special needs items such as prescription medications, eyeglasses, contact lens solution, and hearing aid
batteries. Items for infants, such as formula, diapers, bottles, and pacifiers.
► Tools, pet supplies, a map of the local area, and other items to meet your unique family needs.
