Nobody can really say for certain what the future may bring. Natural disasters like typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes and other man-made crisis might happen, and it helps to be prepared in emergencies like these. To ensure that you and your family would have all the essential items that you need to survive the critical first 72 hours of an emergency, you should prepare a "72-Hour Kit".

Why is the first 72 hours critical? Because that is the estimated time that relief organizations can provide ample food supply for victims of major national disasters. Thus, each individual in your family should have his or her own 72-hour kit to prepare for such an occurrence.

Here's what a 72-hour kit should include: a heavy duty backpack to store all the necessary items; food packs or food bars plus water packets with a long shelf-life; light and communication gadgets like a 12-hour light stick, AM/FM radio, flashlight, batteries, candles, waterproof matches and emergency whistles; tent, ponchos and blankets for warmth and shelter; emergency tools such as a multi-functional Swiss knife, ropes and tapes; and finally, a medical kit containing hygiene and first aid items.

Cross these items off your emergency checklist and rest assured that each family member will have all the necessary items to survive the critical first 72 hours of any type of emergency.
