Emergency Kit

When disaster strikes, children are the most vulnerable. If you reside in a region which is prone to disasters then you probably know the importance of having a comprehensive emergency kit. The main essentials of this kit are food, water, first aid supplies, flashlights, sanitation and hygiene supplies, and an emergency blanket.

If you have children, you will certainly have to add on to these supplies. In fact, coming up with a basic kit if you have children can be a tricky affair. However, it is easy when you know the main essentials for survival to be included in your emergency kit.

The most important thing any parent will worry about when disaster strikes is food and water supplies for their children. This is particularly why your emergency kit must have an emergency food bar. Include food supplies like dried fruits, nuts and even baby food that your toddler will comfortably eat.

Medication is also an important component to include in your emergency kit if you have kids. Most kits will have pain killers and anti inflammation tablets for adults but they don’t have children’s medication. Its important to buy over the counter pain and allergy medication for children and include it in the kit. This will ensure that your child gets the medical attention they need if a disaster strikes.

For those with young children the emergency kit should include diapers and baby wipes. It’s important that babies and young children stay as clean and dry as possible for health and sanitation reasons. Also, children that are comfortable are a lot easier to manage. In an emergency situation, staying calm is vital to survival.

Emergency kits come in different sizes, depending on the needs of the individual or family. As long as you are able to carry it with you and if their is room, pack some extra warm clothes. You may consider vacuum packing the clothes in a waterproof bag to keep them dry and compact. Kids grow fast, so make sure you update the emergency kit with clothes that fit.
