An emergency can strike at any time and in that case it is better to be prepared with the necessary gear to help one to survive the situation. The type of gear depends on whether the gear is for an office emergency, home, school or while travelling.

In case of a sudden mishap in the school the survival items necessary would be all that students or faculty would need in order to meet and overcome the disaster at least for a period of three days. The items that you buy or prepare by yourself must have a good shelf life. The kits must definitely contain the most important thing which is water. The normal items in an emergency kit for a child would be a cup, and some food bars that can be preserved for an extensive period. It would be better if the carry bag were the kind that could be strapped on so that you are ready to go any time.

It would be wise to include a battery light, a whistle and a list of things to do in an emergency. Some blankets could be added and all this could be neatly put inside a plastic lightweight bag. Additionally, the bag should have additional spaces for storing some commonly used medicines and some first aid bandages.

The food should ideally consist of something that is not too elaborate and quite filling. However, it is important that it should be long lasting. The packing must be small and neat and preparation must be simple. It should not involve long preparation methods.

It could also happen that you are in a car when the disaster strikes. In such a case do carry the kind of gear that would help you in coping with the emergency. Some items are absolutely necessary while travelling in a car such as jumper cables, and a tow rope. Other additional items to be put in the kit may be a light which can run on battery and maybe a blanket. Add to this a fuse tester and also a tire pressure gauge and you are ready to go anywhere safely. Sometimes a knife or a screwdriver comes in extremely handy to get out of a sticky situation. I have heard of some recommending a snow shovel and also a revolving light which could help signal for help. Water and food of course goes without saying.
