Basics you should have on hand:
Three-day water supply (1 gallon per person) Non-perishable foods (with can opener, 2 week supply) Portable radio (extra batteries) Cellphone with chargers First aid kit
Extra cash/travelers checks Duct tape
Work gloves Multi-purpose tool Sleeping bag (per person) Rain ponchos
