Reviewing your checklist
Review the kit every six months, whenever household needs change and after you use it. Rotate food through ordinary meals and follow storage instructions for water and batteries. Keep a smaller, carryable bag available if you might need to leave.
Never use a barbecue, generator, camping stove or outdoor-only heater inside a home, garage or tent. A no-cook food plan and battery lighting avoid adding those hazards.
