This compact kit is the base unit upon which to build a complete personal and family emergency preparedness solution. Each person should have a Personal 3-Day Emergency Response Kit at home and at work (unless employer has provided other adequate group solutions). Consider providing this kit for your on-the-go needs as well (car, truck, boat, RV, etc).

This kit is designed using U.S. Government All-Hazard Preparedness guidelines. It provides the most essential supplies for 3 days of support in case of a severe emergency or disaster: emergency instructions, dust mask for easier breathing**, first aid pack, emergency thermal blanket and poncho for personal warmth and shelter, water and food (both with 5-year shelf life - U.S. Coast Guard approved), and items to provide communication, light and sanitation.

For preparedness at home, this personal kit should be used in conjunction with the Family Basics 3-Day Emergency Pack (for 1 to 4 people). At work, this kit should be used in conjunction with a 25-Person Office Emergency Kit, the 25-Person Emergency Response Kit or the 10-Person Emergency Kit (encourage your employer to provide these). These larger companion kits provide supplies that can be shared among a family or group.

The hard-sided protective case is compact and makes supplies easy to store, carry and access. To carry along with other emergency supplies, consider one of the following storage and carrying options: Heavy Duty Backpack with LED Safety Signal, Over-the-Shoulder Tote with LED Safety Signal, Easy-Roll Backpack with LED Safety Signal, Storage Bucket with Snap-On Toilet Seat.

**The N95 respirator (dust mask) included in this kit meets the minimum standards recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) for those who may come in contact with germs that can cause avian influenza (bird flu).
