The Risks Basic Emergency kitFor Home and Office: All Canadians should have some basic supplies on hand to survive for at least 3 days if an emergency occurs. Following is a list of basic items that every emergency kit should include. It is important that individuals consider where they live and their family's unique needs in order to create an emergency kit that will meet these needs. Canadians should consider having at least two emergency kits, one full kit for the home and smaller portable kits for the vehicle and work place. You may need to survive on your own after a disaster. This means having your own food, water, and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least three days for your and your family. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. It might take days for help to arrive.
