As long as you have three days worth of supplies in your cupboards, fridge and freezer you already have the majority of what you need to Get Thru in an emergency.
Eat perishable items first from your fridge. If there is a power outage, items in the freezer will stay frozen for around one or two days if you minimise door/lid opening.
Basic survival kit items should include:
- Torch with spare batteries or light sticks
- Transistor radio and spare batteries (there is a radio in your car)
- First Aid kit
- Tinned food for two to three days for you and your pets
- Can opener
- Bottled water
- Box of matches or lighter
- Toilet paper
Remember to replenish spare batteries, candles, matches/ lighters, and refresh your stored water every six months - have enough to give to your pets also.
