    There are a number of sites that will give you this information. 

    Your basic emergency kit should include:


    Water – one gallon per person per day
    Food – ready to eat or requiring minimal water
    Manual can opener and other cooking supplies
    Plates, utensils and other feeding supplies
    First Aid kit & instructions
    A copy of important documents & phone numbers
    Warm clothes and rain gear for each family member.
    Heavy work gloves
    Disposable camera
    Unscented liquid household bleach and an eyedropper for water purification
    Personal hygiene items including toilet paper, feminine supplies, hand sanitizer and soap
    Plastic sheeting, duct tape and utility knife for covering broken windows
    Tools such as a crowbar, hammer & nails, staple gun, adjustable wrench and bungee cords.
    Blanket or sleeping bag
    Large heavy duty plastic bags and a plastic bucket for waste and sanitation
    Any special-needs items for children, seniors or people with disabilities. Don’t forget water and supplies for your pet(s).

    A component of your disaster kit is your Go-bag. Put the following items together in a backpack or another easy to carry container in case you must evacuate quickly. Prepare one Go-bag for each family member and make sure each has an I.D. tag. You may not be at home when an emergency strikes so keep some additional supplies in your car and at work, considering what you would need for your immediate safety.
