Print and laminate each, if you can. There's a chance you'll be evacuating or sheltering for a long time, depending upon regional damage. Plan to include rain gear raincoat or poncho, waterproof boots , extra changes of clothing and waterproof matches or lighters.
Also, seal your important documents — including cash — in a waterproof plastic bag. Additional hurricane kit items can include water purification tablets, towels, duct tape, scissors and work gloves. Once an impending hurricane is announced, people often panic, making it difficult to gain access to even the most basic supplies.
Earthquakes often happen without any notice at all. You may need tools to quickly shut off utilities. Also, consider a fire extinguisher in case falling debris severs gas or electrical lines. Extra dust masks can protect you against breathing in dust from falling debris. You might also need other tools, such as a shovel, ax, broom and rope. If you live in a building with upper floors, have a rope ladder handy for a quick escape.
Pack each person a pair of sturdy shoes with thick soles to protect feet from broken glass, wood splinters, nails and other debris. Store your emergency kit supplies in duffel bags, rolling bins including coolers or suitcases or other easy-to-grab containers.
Watertight is best. Be sure household members will be able to lift any emergency containers. Keep your kit in a dry area of your home. Refresh the contents every year. Make sure foods aren't expired, clothing still fits and medications haven't reached their expiration dates. Routinely refill and replace medication and food as needed.

I thank the contributor for his efforts but I wish some of these people would go and put a pound pack incl. A person needs to plan well ahead and not wait till the last minute and either get someone they can depend on to help them are to start our training and exercise to help carry the extra weight, I know I need to I got tired just reading what all you to just survive those 3 days, I am going to start working out and carry that weight around with me plus my everyday carry kit as well.
I pray that the time never comes that we have to use what we have. I look at it like I would rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. I think it would be neat if you could have a small town set up to where you move for a few days and have to live with no electric and every so often have to fight off a band of looters, and shortages, It would make you think about what your lacking in and what you need improvement in as well.
I understand this post is what the individual should have on hand at home at all times. While other here have stated what the jist of the article is, I would offer several caveats to these suggestions. What you do need is about K calories, with generous helpings of protein, fats, and carbs. The idea behind a 72 hour kit is mobile sustainment. You are NOT mobile when cooking. It takes time and fuel.
