Emergency Kit

Every family should have an emergency kit in

their homes. If there is an earthquake or
tsunami for instance, there could be a power cut

otherwise the water could get polluted. You
might get stuck in your home for several days

because of a storm or a flood. Having an

emergency kit ready could help if anything like
this happens.

things:
