We know we should all have a 72 hour kit, don't we? But do we have one? For each person in our family? Let's start on yours now.
This kit/bag should contain the basics you will need to survive for a minimum of 72 hours. Even though the list below looks quite extensive (and maybe intimidating), choose the items that suit your family. Don't overload the pack.

Another alternative would be to buy one basic Tote-N'-Go Kit
for each family member. It has all that is needed to sustain one person for 72 hours: items for warmth and shelter, heat and light, food and water, personal hygiene, a first aid kit, and even includes the nylon tote bag to neatly contain everything. And it's very affordable.
Everything you need must be organized and squeezed into a portable container small enough for you to carry. I personally think a backpack is the most versatile and easiest to carry. Even smaller children can carry a small backpack with some of their own belongings tucked inside.
Another easy option for those who are young or old is a suitcase (or backpack) with a handle and wheels.
But don't wait until you have the perfect container to start your 72 hour kit. Begin by assembling the items and the find a container to hold everything. It might be even better to use two containers for one kit, providing the person is strong enough to carry more than one. One might be used for food and water, and the other for clothing and hygiene items. It is best if the containers you choose are waterproof also.
Okay, let's get started:

Personalize this 72 hour kit list for your family. Add or subtract according to likes, dislikes, and needs of each person.
