72-Hour Portable Emergency Kit

A grab-and-go kit for each household, kept where you can reach it quickly.

Two-Week Household Emergency Supplies

Supplies to stay home safely for two weeks without a trip to the store.

Water

Water is the first supply to run short. Store it before you need it.

Food

Store what you eat, and eat what you store so nothing expires unused.

Prescription Medications

Keep a working supply and a simple record of what each person takes.

First Aid

A basic kit and the knowledge to use it.

Sanitation

Waste and hygiene supplies matter as much as food when water or sewer service fails.

Winter Clothing and Blankets

Idaho winters make warmth a life-safety item, not a comfort item.

Battery Lighting

Use flashlights and lamps rather than candles to avoid fire risk.

Radio and Communications

Official information, and a way to reach family, when phones are congested.

Power Banks

Keep phones and medical devices running when the grid is down.

Important Documents

Keep copies you can carry, and originals in a safe place.

Cash

Card readers and internet can both fail during an outage.

Pet Supplies

Pets are family too, and shelters often do not accept them.

Vehicle Emergency Supplies

Keep a winter kit in each vehicle, especially through Idaho winters.
