72-Hour Emergency Campus/Travel Preparedness Kit Checklist

The 72-Hour Emergency Campus/Travel Preparedness Kit Checklist is essential and tailored to meet the basic survival needs for a period of 72-hours during or after a disaster. Individuals can store emergency supplies, tools, and water in one location that is readily available in your room, home, office and/or vehicle. Supplies can be stored in advance in an easy to carry suitcase, duffle bag or backpack ensuring they are easily accessible in the event of an evacuation.
