That’s why Harris County’s Office of Emergency Management created an Emergency Preparedness checklist to help you build an emergency kit with all the essentials.
The list covers 12 categories: food, water, first-aid, personal hygiene, clean air, baby/childcare, household items, lighting, communication, family safety, transportation, and pet needs.
