What to have in your home emergency kit
I don't claim I'm an expert and this is not a "zombie apocalypse" kit, but some useful things to have with you in case a power outage happens or any other minor emergency.
- Matches
- Candles
- Batteries (charged or course)
- Flashlight
- Blankets
- Fire extinguisher
- Bottled water
- Caned non-perishable food
- Can opener
- First aid kit
Bandages
Compress
Tape
Tweezer
Alcool (to disinfect instruments)
Scissors (I used those in my nail file kit)
Acetaminofen or Ibuprofen
Thermometer
Anti-acid medication
Bandages for a sprain
Allergies medicine and or Benadryl. Also if you need one, an up to date Epi Pen - Wet naps
- Cash
- Battery (or crank) radio
- Extra medication you need
- Food for your pet (if you have one)
- Whistle
- Bathroom/Facial tissues
- Deck of card or colouring book and pencils
- Poncho
- Hand warmers
- Latex gloves
- Pack of nuts and/or granola (if not allergic, of course)
- Duct rape
- Pocket knife
- Battery bank to charge you phone (if you can afford it, it's expensive)
- Plastic bags
I don't have everything on that list, but I'm slowly trying to build things out. I store some of those items in a plastic Ziploc bag .
