72-Hour Kit: What It Is and What It Should Include

 

What does “72 hours” mean in an emergency?

 

The first 72 hours after a natural disaster, blackout, or unexpected situation are considered critical. This is the period when support services may not yet be fully operational.

A 72-hour kit is a set of equipment and resources that ensure self-sufficiency during this period.

 

What should a 72-hour kit include?

Water and purification

Water is an absolute priority.

The ideal is to combine bottled water with a purification system, such as the 4-stage filter included in our kits, capable of filtering up to 5,000 litres.

 

Lighting and communication

A flashlight, batteries, and a portable radio are essential for staying in touch with official information during blackouts.

First aid and thermal protection

A first aid kit, thermal blanket, and basic protective materials are indispensable.

Additional power

In more demanding scenarios, a portable solar panel and power bank can ensure energy autonomy, as in the Advanced Kit.

Emergency food

To complete the 72 hours, long-lasting food is fundamental.

Our Food Kits include freeze-dried meals in traditional and vegan versions.
