Emergency pack
The practical tip
The aim of the disaster supplies kit is to help you to cope for the first few days out of your house.
Basic rule: do not take more for each family member than fits into a backpack. A backpack is more practical than a suitcase, as you have both hands free.
The emergency backpack should contain these items
- personal medication
- first aid materials
- battery-powered radio, spare batteries
- briefcase
- food for 2 days in dust-proof packaging
- water bottle
- cutlery and crockery
- sleeping bag or blanket
- clothing for a couple of days
- headgear
- gloves
- hygiene products (e.g. articles for menstrual hygiene, diapers) for some days
- protective Mask, respiratory protection
- for children: neck pouch or an SOS capsule with name, date of birth and address. You can get SOS capsules in department stores, pharmacies and drugstores.
The correct clothing
- Waterproof clothing, such as a waterproof jacket and waterproof trousers or a long raincoat.
- Waterproof shoes or wellingtons
- In the event of danger from radioactive or chemical substances, use a dust mask or damp cloths that you hold in front of your mouth
Do not forget
- Identity documents, money, valuables
- For the children: neck pouch or an SOScapsule with name, date of birth and address. You can get SOScapsules in department stores, pharmacies and drugstores
