It’s important to be prepared in case an earthquake, hurricane, tornado or flood were to strike – preparing a well organized emergency kit will keep you safe and provide for your needs in an emergency. We highly recommend our family emergency supplies kit, which provides all the emergency supply needs for a family.

The following is a description of the type of products that you can expect to find in a well planned out emergency kit.

Every Day Items – Often when putting together an emergency kit, people only think about what they need in extremes, and only for a short amount of time, when in reality they may need everyday items for several days or weeks. Emergency kits should include items that you use on a regular basis and they should be stored differently in order to protect them against the elements. Things in your emergency kit should include toiletries, dry goods like paper towels, toilet paper, and garbage bags. Don’t forget the emergency flashlight and extra batteries.

Duplicates – If you are planning an emergency kit for your family or multiple people, don’t forget to pack multiple items, especially food and other emergency supplies. It’s a great idea to store multiple emergency kits around your house or location incase one or two are destroyed in a natural disaster.

Extra Clothing – Every emergency kit should include warm clothing and extra changes of clothing. At RedEsupply.com we sell several hand warming, blankets and other camping gear that is designed to keep you warm in the event of a natural disaster or power outage.

Medical Supplies – Don’t forget to include critical medical supplies in your emergency kit, this includes the normal first aid kit type items, but also other items such as latex gloves, eye goggles, sponges, etc. It is a good idea to include medical items in a car first aid kit too.
