No one knows what the future may bring and it is always best to be well-prepared. That is why assembling or purchasing a 3 day survival kit is so important. In an emergency, it is the first three twenty-four hour periods that are the most critical so it is best to be ready for whatever life aims your way.

An emergency can take the shape of many forms. It can be a hurricane, tornado, tsunami, or even a nuclear or bomb attack. Not matter what the case, the supplies you have on hand and the equipment you have ready can be the tools that save your family from this life-threatening catastrophe.

This supply must include several critical items to get you through this first time period. It sometimes takes days for emergency resources to converge and get critical supplies to the areas affected. By having your own store of items, you will be well-prepared to take on much more than others.The basic items one needs include food, water, first-aid supplies, communication devices, shelter, warmth and food prep equipment.

You can actually purchases boxes and bags of prepared food items in case of these situations. For such a short time period, you can also assemble your own necessities. Some of the items you may wish to consider are powdered drinks and milk, dried foods such as meats, beans, and fruit, canned goods such as soups and stews, and power bars for the energy you will need. Water should always be ready to grab. Containers can be filled and stored days in advance. Gallon jugs or larger receptacles can also be purchased and available.

First aid should include band aids, antibiotics, scissors, a thermometer, aspirin, tape, and gauze. This kit should also include any current medications taken by family members and a first aid book. Communication devices could consist of two-way radios, a battery powered radio, and cell phones with portable chargers. Don't forget to include extra batteries for any devices that require them.

There are many other essentials that will be required and some will depend on your family makeup. Infants will need formula and diapers. Pets will require their own special meals. Important documents should also be ready to pick up and take along. These would include birth certificates and social security cards. A stash of cash should also be ready to go.

The type of shelter you require will depend on the emergency and the part of the country where you live. Those who live in areas with harsh winters or heavy rains will need more adequate shelter than those who reside in warm or tropical states. The type of emergency will determine whether you must leave your home or not. If you do, you will need a tent or at the very minimum, a large tarp, rope and stakes. Blankets and sleeping bags are also needed. A company that specializes in preparing for disasters will have special blankets that hold in the warmth much more efficiently.
