FEMA and Ready.gov recommend at least 1 gallon of water per person per day for 3 days, a 3-day supply of non-perishable food, a flashlight, a battery or hand-crank radio, extra batteries, a first aid kit, whistle, dust masks, moist towelettes, wrench or pliers to shut off utilities, manual can opener, local maps, and a phone with a backup battery.
Risk depends on your exact location — coastal areas face hurricanes and flooding, fault-line regions face earthquakes, dry regions face wildfire, and low-lying areas face flash flooding. Your Disaster Prep pulls your ZIP code or GPS coordinates and cross-references FEMA, NOAA, and USGS hazard data to rank the disasters most likely to affect you.
It depends on the disaster type and official guidance. Wildfires and hurricanes often require evacuation when ordered by local authorities. Earthquakes and tornadoes generally call for sheltering in place until the immediate danger passes. Always follow instructions from local emergency management — they have the most current, localized information.
A basic 3-day kit for one adult can be built for $50–$100 using items you may already own (water bottles, canned food, a flashlight) plus a few inexpensive additions like a first aid kit and battery radio. Larger households or longer supply windows (7+ days) will cost more.
