Every home should have a disaster preparedness kit, because at any given moment residents may face a disaster-prone situation where they will not have access to everything they need to survive and will have to wait a while before they are rescued. This kit should be equipped with things that will be of utmost importance to an individual such as water, some medicines and non-perishable foods (in this case, frozen foods are not a good option because of their rapid spoilage). In addition, these kits should have: flashlights (so that you can see the environment), electric can opener (to open canned food) and a battery-operated radio (to establish some kind of communication).
