All you need for your EMERGENCY PACK

EMERGENCY PACKAGE PACKING LIST

The government has advised you to have an emergency kit at home and therefore be somewhat prepared for an emergency. GearPoint can certainly help you with some of these articles, but certainly not everything.

With an emergency package you are well prepared for the first 48 hours after a disaster or emergency. To help you get started, here is a list of items that should definitely be in your emergency kit (you may already have some things at home).
