Disaster Supplies Checklist
   
   
   
 

  A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items that could be needed in the event of a disaster. This checklist is based primarily on the standard checklist developed by the American Red Cross and has enough supplies for at least three days (you may want to store supplies for 7-14 days if you don’t want to have to rely on the government or if you would like to help a neighbor who has not prepared). The list is fairly comprehensive, but will need to be tailored down or beefed up depending on your exact circumstances (size of family, special needs, ages of those in your family, plans to shelter in place, evacuate to friends or relatives, evacuate to a hotel, or evacuate to a shelter).
