Clothing and Blankets
It’s also important to include clothing and blankets to ensure you and your family stay warm, comfortable, and protected during unexpected situations. After a fire or flood, you might be surprised to find that you don’t have any accessible dry clothes. Pack extra clothing such as sturdy shoes, warm layers, socks, and underwear for each member of your household. Consider the climate and season when selecting clothing items and prioritize practicality and durability.
Additionally, include blankets or sleeping bags to provide warmth and comfort in case you need to evacuate your home or if heating is unavailable. Emergency blankets, which are compact and lightweight, are also a good option to include in your kit as they can provide insulation and retain body heat.
