This Home Pack Emergency Preparedness Kit is designed to provide 4 people with 3 days (72 hours) of emergency survival supplies that meet the guidelines established by FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security. This high-quality reliable kit is designed by professionals who know what items a survival kit needs to keep you and your family safe…
Organizing and Transporting Supplies
Being able to locate your supplies quickly and transporting them safely is critical. All of the survival supplies in the Home Pack come packed and organized in the best-in-class rugged EP-FLEX3 Emergency Backpack. This backpack is the centerpiece of the Home Pack Emergency Kit and allows you to comfortably wear or carry your supplies and go. This spacious backpack has a place to store everything including extra room for personal items. This adjustable backpack features 8 zippered compartments, a dedicated document compartment, an attached key ring with carabiner for extra keys, numerous elastic straps for securing items, a rugged rubber bottom, and a main compartment with zippered door that fully opens allowing quick and easy access to supplies. The EP-FLEX3 backpack is designed from the ground up for emergency preparedness use and should not be compared to kits using off-the-shelf school backpacks to store supplies. This rugged backpack is made of 600D PVC which is stronger and more water resistant than Nylon and measures 16"W x 18"H x 10"D.
Emergency Food and Water
This kit contains Mainstay Emergency Food Rations and water pouches that have a shelf life of 5 years. The Mainstay Food Rations have a non-thirst provoking vitamin enriched formula with a pleasant lemon flavor. They contain 2,400 calories each and are segmented into 6 sections (2 sections per day). They are safe for both vegetarians and those allergic to nuts. These rations are designed to hold up in temperature extremes of between -40 and 300 degrees F. See picture for nutritional information.
In addition, this kit comes with water purification tablets that allows you to purify 10 additional quarts of water.
Communication
This kit comes with the amazing EP-EMR1000 Emergency Radio. This multi-function radio has a high-capacity internal 1,000 mAh Lithium battery that can be charged using the built-in hand crank or solar panel. The radio receives the NOAA emergency band (FEMA recommended) plus FM and AM. In addition, it has a bright LED flashlight and a mobile phone charger. Important Note: Having a Lithium battery is critical when storing your radio for extended periods of time. Unlike devices with Nickel Metal batteries, a Lithium battery in the EP-EMR1000 will survive for much longer storage periods. See image for feature call outs.
Treating Injuries
In an emergency or disaster situation, injuries can be more severe that small cuts and abrasions which are what typical first aid kits are designed to treat. The Home Pack Emergency Kit comes with a Compact Trauma Kit that contains 100 pieces. The items in this trauma kit go beyond a typical first aid kit. In addition to band aids, this trauma kit contains items including, gauze rolls, gauze pads, a trauma pad, a triangular sling, knuckle bandages, fingertip bandages, topical creams, a thermometer, and much more. All items are stored in a zippered pouch that attaches with Velcro to the inside of the backpack. See content list below for complete details.
and Much, Much More…
The Home Pack Kit also contains items to help in survival situations including items for: sanitation, hygiene, shelter, warmth, emergency planning, along with some useful tools. See content list below for a complete list of items and quantities.
In addition to the standard items, consider adding these recommended items to your Home Pack Emergency Kit:
Removable Pouch - The FLEX3 Emergency Backpack accommodates 2 removable pouches that attach to in the inside of the backpack with Velcro. This option provides you with a second empty pouch (The first is used with the Compact Trauma Kit).
Waterproof Rain Cover - This 100% waterproof Rain Cover protects your backpack and it's supplies in rain, storms, and hurricanes. It also features highly visible "EMERGENCY" printing on the front. An essential accessory to protect your emergency supplies in wet and stormy climates.
“BABY EMERGENCY KIT” Duffel Bag – The emergency preparedness needs of an infants or baby is different and unique. Their needs can change from month to month which is why parents need to build a kit and maintain it based on their baby’s specific needs. This Duffel Bag is perfect for storing their supplies.
Puravai Emergency Water – You can never have too much emergency drinking water, especially in warm and dry climates. Consider adding a 6 pack of Puravai Emergency Drinking water to your set of emergency supplies. The water comes in a reusable canteen and has a 20-year shelf life.
USB 16GB Memorystick with FEMA Document Library - This waterproof memorystick is rugged and designed to attach to the backpack. Perfect for adding important documents. For no additional charge, the memorystick comes pre-loaded with almost 250 FEMA planning and informational documents.
