Home emergency kit

Your Home Emergency Kit should contain:

• Portable radio with spare batteries
• Torch with spare batteries
• First aid kit (with supplies necessary for your household)
• Candles and waterproof matches
• Important papers including emergency contact numbers
• Waterproof bag for valuables

If you are required to leave your property, place in your Home Emergency Kit:

• A good supply of required medications
• Any special requirements for babies, the disabled, infirm and/or elderly
• Strong shoes
• Fresh food and drinks

Keep your Home Emergency Kit in a waterproof storage container.

On a regular basis, check (remember to check use-by dates on batteries and gloves) and re-stock items if you need to.

Also, keep a list of emergency numbers on your fridge.
