96-HOUR EMERGENCY KIT

The 96-Hour Emergency kit should be individually tailored to meet the basic survival needs of your family for three days. Most families prefer to store their emergency supplies in one location that is
relatively safe, yet easily accessible if evacuation is required. Items may be stored in a 32-gallon trash can, suitcase, duffel bag, footlocker, or individual backpack.
