FAQ
How much water do I need for an earthquake?
FEMA recommends storing one gallon of water per person per day for drinking and sanitation. For a 72-hour period, this equals three gallons per person. Emergency water pouches are preferred because they have a long shelf life, do not burst, and withstand extreme temperatures.
How long does an earthquake emergency kit last?
Most earthquake kits last 5 years, depending on the food, water, and medical supplies included. Items like food rations and water pouches have a guaranteed 5-year shelf life, while tools and gear can last indefinitely. We recommend reviewing and updating your kit once a year.
What is the difference between an earthquake kit and a 72-hour kit?
A 72-hour kit contains general emergency supplies for any disaster, while an earthquake kit includes additional items specifically for earthquake safety, such as dust masks, pry bars, gloves, emergency blankets, and shelter supplies. Earthquake kits are tailored to the unique risks of seismic events.
How many earthquake kits do I need for my home or workplace?
Each person should have their own 72-hour supply of food, water, and personal items. Homes typically need one kit per household member. Workplaces should have kits for all employees, plus centralized emergency supplies for larger groups.
Are your earthquake kits recommended by FEMA or the Red Cross?
Our kits follow FEMA and Red Cross guidelines for emergency preparedness, including food, water, communication tools, sanitation, first aid, and warmth. While FEMA and the Red Cross do not officially “endorse” specific brands, our kits are assembled according to their published recommendations.
Do earthquake kits expire?
The gear in an earthquake kit does not expire, but the food, water, and medical items do. Emergency water and food typically last 5 years. First aid supplies vary depending on the item. We label all components so you know when it's time to replace them.
Can I customize an earthquake emergency kit?
Yes, More Prepared offers custom earthquake kits for families, businesses, and schools. You can add or remove items, upgrade components, or build fully custom kits to meet your specific needs. Contact us to get a quote for a personalized kit.
