About This Kit
About This Kit
The California Earthquake Home Emergency Kit provides a practical foundation for household preparedness in earthquake-prone areas. Designed for easy storage and quick access, this kit focuses on the core essentials most homes need when utilities and services are disrupted.
Each kit is packed in a durable emergency bucket with a toilet seat lid, combining secure storage with a built-in sanitation solution. Inside are seven essential emergency items—food, water, personal protection, warmth, lighting, and hygiene—selected to support basic needs during the initial hours and days following an earthquake.
The same essential items are included in every kit, with quantities scaled to support 1 to 4 people, making it easy to choose the right size for apartments, condos, and single-family homes. Straightforward, space-efficient, and thoughtfully assembled, this kit helps households prepare without overcomplicating emergency planning.
