(C.E.R.T.) Disaster Kit Checklist

• Water: Have at least a gallon per person per day.

• Food: Pack non-perishable, high-protein items like energy bars, ready-to-eat soup, peanut butter, etc. Include foods that don't need refrigeration and can be prepared with little or no water.

• First Aid Kit: Pack a first aid kit along with a reference guide.

• Flashlights & Radio: Ensure you have flashlights and a battery-operated radio, including extra batteries for both.

• Tools: Gather a wrench to turn off gas if necessary, manual can opener, screwdriver, hammer, pliers, knife, duct tape, and trash bags with ties.

• Medications: Pack both prescription and non-prescription medications.

• Clothing: Provide a change of clothes for everyone, including sturdy shoes and gloves.

• Contact Information: Carry a current list of family phone numbers and email addresses, including someone out of the area who may be easier to reach if local phone lines are overloaded.

• Map: Plot an evacuation route from your local area and identify a meeting place for your family.

Remember to check and refresh your supply kit at least twice a year. (Suggestion: Daylight Savings)
