72-Hour Readiness Kits

The first 72 hours after a disaster determine whether your family is self-sufficient or dependent on overwhelmed emergency services. Our readiness collection includes pre-packaged survival meal kits with 25-year shelf life, comprehensive emergency supply kits with food, water, light, and medical supplies, and individual components for building custom kits tailored to your family’s specific needs.
72-hour kit essentials: Water (2 gallons/person/day), food (2,000 calories/person/day, no-cook preferred), light (headlamp + spare batteries), power (phone charger + power bank), warmth (emergency blanket + extra clothing layer), medical (first aid kit + 7-day medication supply), communication (NOAA radio), documents (copies of IDs, insurance, emergency contacts in waterproof bag).
Read our guide to building a 72-hour kit without overpacking and our analysis of why most kits fail in real emergencies. Build your kit in layers: start with water, add power, then medical.
