Recommended emergency supplies include the following:

• Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
• Battery-powered radio and extra batteries
• Flashlight and extra batteries
• First Aid kit Whistle to signal for help
• Dust or filter masks, readily available in hardware stores, which are rated based on how small a particle they filter
• Moist towelettes for sanitation
• Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
• Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food)
• Plastic sheeting and duct tape to "seal the room"
• Garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
