About Emergency Supplies

Storing emergency supplies in advance is essential as disasters can strike at any moment without warning. These unexpected events can disrupt the normal functioning of your life, leaving you without basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter. In addition, buying emergency supplies after disaster strikes is almost impossible. In times of crisis, the demand for emergency supplies such as bottled water, ready-to-eat food items, PPE, lighting equipment, and other essential items skyrockets, leading to shortages and high prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you actually need? Find answers to the most common questions about emergency supplies, including what to prioritize, how to budget, and when to rotate — because smart preparation is about having the right supplies, not just more of them

What emergency supplies do I actually need?

Beyond food and water, essential supplies include flashlights and extra batteries, a hand-crank or battery-powered NOAA weather radio, mylar emergency blankets, a first aid kit, work gloves, dust masks, and basic sanitation supplies. A whistle and copies of important documents round out a solid baseline kit.

Can I buy individual emergency supplies instead of full kits?

Yes. However, pre-assembled kits are often the more cost-effective starting point and can easily be supplemented with individual items to personalize for your household, school, or workplace.

What categories of emergency supplies do you carry?

We carry emergency kits for homes, schools, offices, and vehicles, as well as CERT and first responders. Additionally, we provide a wide array of supplies including food, water, first aid, lighting, radios, and more. Whether you need a complete ready-made kit or specific items to build or expand your own, we have you covered.

How should I prioritize emergency supplies on a budget?

Start with the basics: water, food, a basic first aid kit, flashlight, and a weather radio. A pre-made 72-hour kit is often the most cost-effective first step, covering the essentials in one purchase. From there, build gradually — adding supplies and specialty items over time as budget allows.

How often should I rotate or replace emergency supplies?

Water: annually (or every 5 years for pouches). Food: per expiration (1 to 25 years). Batteries: 3 to 5 years. First aid: check expirations annually. Schedule rotation at daylight saving time weekends for a twice-yearly reminder.
