Emergency kit
An emergency kit helps you prepare basic items in advance instead of searching for them in a rush.
A short checklist is easier to keep nearby and check when you need a calm, quick answer.

How to use the emergency kit checklist
Pack the kit ahead of time and check it once after it is ready. That makes it easier not to lose track of important things at the last minute.
If something already lives in a separate bag, just mark it and move on instead of rebuilding the list.
What to keep in mind
Do not overload the kit with extra items: the shorter the list, the easier it is to review.
Keep documents, charger, and regular medicines in one clear place.
