Get a DIY survival kit for the home Natural disasters occur all the time, and all over the country. And preparing some basic, essential survival gear can help you get through times when normal life is temporarily disrupted, or worse. The Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends some of the following basics for a home-made, home survival kit: One gallon of water per person per day, for drinking and sanitation At least a three-day supply of non-perishable food, and a can opener A battery-powered radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert, and extra batteries Flashlight and extra batteries, or the wind-up variety First-aid kit Whistle to signal for help Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation Dust mask or cotton t-shirt to help filter the air Plastic sheeting and duct tape Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities A can opener for food Other important parts of your survival kit: disinfectant, household chlorine bleach as an emergency water treatment (16 drops of regular household bleach per gallon of water), and important family documents in a waterproof and portable container.
