A 96-hour kit is a portable, grab-and-go kit (or “go-bag”) that includes the necessities to survive the critical first few days of a major emergency, such as a natural disaster. It may take several days or longer for help or relief to arrive. Your home is usually the best place to stay if possible, but depending on the severity of the situation, power may be out, gas leaks may be present, and you might need to leave the safety and comfort of your home. Build a 96-hour kit for each member of your family and tailor each kit to the needs, skills, and abilities to the individual. Remember age, climate, and any special requirements such as prescription medications.
