4-Person Home Emergency Kit (Standard)

This kit is intended for households preparing emergency supplies for four people who plan to shelter in place during an emergency. It is commonly used in homes, apartments, condos, and small residential settings.

The bucket format works well for stationary storage locations where supplies need to stay protected and accessible.

Emergency food and water in this kit are sealed for long-term storage and typically have shelf lives of up to five years. Lighting equipment, radios, tools, and the bucket itself are reusable but should be inspected periodically.

The kit should be reviewed annually. When food, water, or medical items expire, replenishment kits can be used to replace consumable components while continuing to use the original bucket and durable supplies.

How long does this kit support four people?

This kit is designed to support four people for approximately 72 hours during short-term shelter-in-place emergencies.

What types of emergencies is this kit designed for?

This kit is commonly used for earthquakes, power outages, storms, and other events that disrupt utilities or require staying at home.

Is this kit suitable for evacuation?

This kit is designed primarily for home use. For evacuation scenarios, backpack emergency kits are recommended.

Does the bucket serve any additional purpose?

Yes. The 5-gallon bucket can be used for storage, water transport, or sanitation support during an emergency.

Can expired items be replaced?

Yes. Replenishment kits allow food, water, and medical items to be replaced without purchasing an entirely new kit.
