Build A Kit

An emergency kit is a container of items your family may need during or after an emergency. Your emergency kit should be in an easily accessible place in your home and clearly marked for any family member to find. You should also build separate emergency kits to have in your vehicle and/or at work, in case an emergency occurs when you are away from home.
