If you have small children, baby supplies may be needed. Pet owners will have to keep their animals' needs in mind also. Keep copies of personal documents such as birth certificates and social security cards ready to go as well as a substantial amount of cash.

The type of emergency will determine whether you must leave your home or not. If you do, you will need a tent or at the very minimum, a large tarp, rope and stakes. Blankets and sleeping bags are also needed. A company that specializes in preparing for disasters will have special blankets that hold in the warmth much more efficiently.
