How to Choose the Right Emergency Survival Kit
Choosing the right emergency kit is one of the most important steps you can take toward being ready for a disaster. At More Prepared, we’ve been helping schools, government agencies, businesses, and families plan for emergencies for more than 20 years. This guide is designed to help you quickly identify which type of kit fits your needs, while giving you direct links to the right solutions.
Step 1: Who Are You Preparing For?
Families & Individuals → A home survival kit ensures food, water, first aid, lighting, and sanitation for your household.

Workplaces & Offices → Kits sized by staff count (small, medium, large) provide food, water, first aid, and shelter-in-place supplies for employees. Many meet ANSI/OSHA compliance.

Step 2: How Many People and How Long?
- Small groups → 1–4 people
- Medium groups → 5–50 people
- Large groups → 100+ people
Duration → Most kits cover 72 hours, but longer-term food, water, and shelter solutions are available.
