What's in an emergency kit?
The government suggests a basic emergency kit should cover essential needs for two to three days. This includes non-perishable food, bottled water, a first aid kit for minor injuries, and a wind-up radio to stay informed if power or internet goes down. These items help maintain basic comfort and safety during an unexpected event.
