Earthquake Preparation Kit / Emergency Supplies

I have a friend who volunteers for the red cross and he notified me of getting prepared and told me that we should have a kit ready.  I looked online and found some really good items to keep during an emergency.  You can say this is a comprehensive list from many sites (all government sites, including the red cross site).

1. Water - Very important.  You should have One (1) gallon per person, per day.  You should have a three day supply for evacuation, and a 2 week supply at home.  This means one person should have 17 gallons of water in case of emergency.  3 gallons in a kit and 14 gallons stored at home.
2. Food - Foods should be non-perishable such as canned foods, nuts, cereal, powdered milk, etc.  Canned foods should include fruits, meats, and juices.  Crackers and dried foods are also good to have.  Again each person should have a 2 week supply at home, and a 3 day supply in a kit.
3. Radio - A battery powered or hand cranking.
4. NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert - A battery powered (Optional).
5. Batteries - For radio, flashlights, NOAA Weather Radio, etc.  Batteries should be replaced before they expire
6. First Aid Kit
1. Sterile Gloves - Latex and non-latex if allergic to latex.
2. Cleansing Agent - Soap or Antibiotic towelettes.
3. Antibiotic Ointment - Such as Neosporin
4. Burn Ointment
5. Adhesive Bandages - Should have variety of sizes.
6. Eye Wash Solution
7. Thermometer - For biological threat.  If someone in your group has a fever, medical attention should be sought and possible quarantine of the ill person.
8. Prescription Medication - At least a seven day supply.  Ask your pharmacist for an emergency kit supply
9. Prescription Supplies - Such as needles for insulin shots
10. Lubricant - Such as Vasoline (Petroleum Jelly)
11. Aspirin - Or other pain reliever medication.
12. Anti-Diarrhea Medicine
13. Antacid - Such as Tums
14. Laxative
7. Whistle - To signal for help.
8. Dust Mask - Such as N95 or Surgical.
9. Duct Tape
10. Plastic Sheathing - Large heavy duty trash bags for shelter and protection against foreign substances in the air.  Use duct tape to tape down and seal areas to keep foreign objects out.

13. Plastic ties - Zip ties
14. Wrench or Pliers - To turn off utilities
15. Manual Can Opener
16. Local Maps
17. Call Phone w/ Chargers and Extra Battery - Should be used for emergency contact (not to call people asking whether they felt the earthquake.  Phones get backed up too if too many people call at the same time.
    
18. Copies of Documents in Waterproof Continers
1. Insurance
2. ID
3. Bank Account Records
4. **Note: As you can see that these are valuable and confidential information.  Seek locks or containers that can secure your information.

20. Sleeping Bag or Warm Blanket
21. Clothing - At least one pair
22. Chlorine Bleach - As a disinfectant (Nine parts water to One part bleach) or Emergency Water (16 drops chlorine to One gallon of water).  Also the bleach selected should have no other additives such as cleansing agents.
