Emergency kits have the generic listing of items:

1. extra eyeglasses
2. energy bars
3. extra clothing
4. bottled water
5. prescription medications
6. change for using the phone
7. and so forth

Children will be a special consideration. Extended periods of time away from home will mean additional items for special needs people. As with other emergency kits, you can find prepackaged kits online for sale. Or, you can gather together items that are of meaning to you.

Consider adding the following to your child's emergency kit:

• pictures of loved ones, including pets
• a warm blanket
• a small plastic toy, something that is easily cleaned
• prepackaged juice
• extra underwear and socks, or diapers!
• wipes, with extra refill
• coloring book and colors
• small games

Since you know your child best, you will have other items to add to the list. Special consideration for these kits will lessen the distress should the kit would need to be used. In the even of an emergency situation, there will not be time to think of items such as these at the last minute.

In an emergency, children will react based upon the actions of the adults around them. The more organized and prepared you are for an emergency, the easier it will be to stay calm and collected. This will help your child to also stay calm. Ensuring that the child's emergency kit includes things with meaning, such as pictures, Bible verses, a favorite toy, books, and other items to keep them occupied will help you out in the long run.
