Resources for Building a Emergency Supplies Kit:


  • Kits for Kids
    • This material would be appropriate to disperse at back-to-school nights, libraries, after-school programs, club meetings, etc.
  • Emergency Financial Planning Kit
    • This is appropriate information for local families, small business owners, extension homemakers, and financial planners.
  • bReady  Emergency Kit Organizer
    • bReadySD.com helps families analyze the amounts and types of supplies needed for a kit, as well as budget for purchasing a kit over a period of time.
  • American Red Cross Emergency Preparedness Kits
    • American Red Cross provides a list of supplies needed to sustain an adult for 3 days. This information would be helpful to a variety of audiences.
  • Personal Workplace Disaster Supplies Kit
    • This kit is great for employees that, in the case of an emergency, would be forced to stay in the office environment for several hours extra or even overnight.
  • Ready America: Get a Kit
    • DHS provides a resource checklist that is very easy to understand and ensures efficiency of a disaster preparedness kit. This would be appropriate information to many audiences.

A Success Story

  • “Ready.Pack.Go” Campaign
    • A program in Fairfax County, Virginia where the campaign used faith-based leaders to engage the community and encourage emergency preparedness.
As always, additional materials are available on the EDEN National Preparedness Month Web page.
