What to look for

  1. Buy one kit per person in your home, not one per household.
  2. Check what water and food come inside. Most kits include only a small amount, so plan to add more.
  3. A sturdy backpack matters. You may need to carry it for hours.
  4. Write the date you bought it on the bag and check it every year.

Common questions

What should be in a basic survival kit?

Water, nonperishable food, a flashlight, a battery or hand crank radio, first aid supplies, a whistle, dust masks, a manual can opener, local maps, a phone charger, cash and copies of important documents. FEMA's Ready.gov list is the standard most kits are built from.

Is a ready made kit or a homemade kit better?

A ready made kit gets you covered today. A homemade kit lets you pick better quality items. Many families buy a ready made kit first, then upgrade pieces over time.

How long does a survival kit last?

Food and water pouches in most kits last about 5 years. Batteries and medicine expire sooner, so check your kit once a year.
