72 hr Kits Resource Sites

Below are links to some sites for preparing 72 hour kits, they all have wonderful ideas and information.  


Make your own kit from their suggestions and modify your list for any special needs for your own family.  For example, baby items, grandparent items, medicines, equipment, games, books, etc.  


Check your kit/kits every six months and rotate the perishable items, including the water.  Change your kit for the weather/seasons as well. 


We usually go through our kits in April and October, when we have to change our clocks.  At this time it is a good idea to change clothing sizes, seasonal clothing needs- coats verses jackets, footwear, etc.

Tip:    When you plan for a change of clothing for kids, go with the next size up to store and then when you rotate, they can still use what you had in storage.
