On Day 15 it’s time to turn your attention to preparing your emergency kit.

There’s no time to pack during an emergency, so it’s important to get prepared.  

Think about the practical things you’ll need during and after an emergency. There are two types of items you should think about packing:

• Survival items - items that will help if you must leave quickly or stay isolated in your home.

• Recovery items - items that will limit disruption to your life after the emergency has passed. These will be more personal to your needs and situation.

The Australian Red Cross has helpful tips, including a downloadable packing checklist.
