Emergency kit
Your emergency kit should be made up of the following:
- Portable, battery-operated radio (to hear news reports)
- Torch and spare batteries
- Fresh water in sealed containers (at least 10 litres per person for three days)
- Canned food (with can opener and utensils) for three days
- Any special need items for elderly or infant family members
- First aid kit (with manual)
- Combination pocket knife
- Medications, toiletry supplies
- Insurance documents, etc.
- List of emergency numbers, including insurance details (pet owners should have the number of their vet)
- Pet food (if necessary) and other animal needs
- Portable stove with fuel
- Money, including change for phone calls
- Tent or tarpaulin
- Woollen and thermal blankets
- Strong plastic bags (for clothing, valuables, documents and photographs)
- Preparing for natural disasters: A guide for residents (this is available in hard copy form from the Logan City Council).
It's ideal to have these items together, but if this is not possible, you should have a list of where you can easily find them.
