Special medical needs are very important to remember when building your 72 hour kit. If you or one of your family members is diabetic, you may want to include the insulin and other accessories needed. Other items such as extra asthma inhalers or prescribed medication should be included if you or one of your family members requires it. Also consider your family members who are physically handicapped such as in a wheelchair or on crutches. They might need extra assistance or other special accessories.
Emergencies can be very stressful situations.
Games, books and toys will help relieve some of this stress. Consider your family, their ages, and the kinds of things they like to do. Be creative in what you include and your family will appreciate you during that stressful time when they want something to do. Stress relievers benefit everyone in an emergency. Everyone is unique with different needs.
