What is a 1-Person Shelter-in-Place Emergency Kit?

A 1-Person Shelter-in-Place Emergency Kit provides basic supplies for an individual who may need to remain indoors during an emergency rather than evacuate. It includes equipment for communication, lighting, respiratory protection, temporary sealing, warmth, hydration and basic sanitation.

What is the difference between the Waterproof Pouch and Wall-Mount versions?

Both 1-Person Shelter-in-Place Kits contain the same core emergency supplies. The Waterproof Pouch version provides compact, portable storage and is well suited for workstations, vehicles, mobile personnel or locations where wall mounting is not practical. The Wall-Mount Case version is designed for fixed, visible storage at a designated location.

When would a shelter-in-place kit be used?

Sheltering in place may be appropriate when conditions outside a building could present a greater risk than remaining indoors. Examples can include hazardous outdoor air, certain severe weather events, infrastructure emergencies or other incidents in which authorities or an organization's emergency plan direct occupants to remain inside.

What are the plastic sheeting and duct tape for?

Plastic sheeting and duct tape can be used when an emergency plan or public-safety instructions call for temporarily reducing outside-air infiltration around doors, windows or other openings. Occupants should follow instructions from local authorities and their facility's emergency procedures.

Does the kit include an N95 mask?

Yes. The kit includes one N95 respirator mask for basic respiratory protection. The appropriate respiratory protection for a specific hazard depends on the emergency and instructions from public-safety authorities.

Does the kit include food and water?

The kit includes two emergency drinking water pouches but does not include emergency food. It is intended to provide immediate shelter-in-place response supplies rather than a complete 72-hour food and water supply.

Does the kit include an emergency radio?

Yes. An AM/FM emergency radio is included to provide access to broadcast information when normal communications may be disrupted.

Where can the waterproof pouch be stored?

The compact pouch can be stored at a workstation, in a desk or cabinet, in a vehicle or at another designated emergency location where it can be quickly accessed.

How often should the kit be inspected?

Inspect the kit periodically and after use. Check the radio and lighting equipment, inspect packaging and review dated components such as the N95 respirator and emergency drinking water for applicable replacement dates.

Is this a 72-hour emergency kit?

No. This is an individual shelter-in-place response kit and does not contain a complete 72-hour supply of emergency food and water.
