Make A List of the Contents 

To help ensure that you have all the items necessary, make a list of everything in the kit. This will help you keep track of exactly what you have on hand in case of an extreme emergency where you will need to evacuate your premises. Add new items to the list as they are included, so you will always be totally up-to-date and informed as to where you stand. 

Keep the Kit in An Accessible Area 

Always keep the kit close by where it can be easily picked up and removed from the home. Distant attics, deep basements, and outbuildings are not the best places to store such vital items. A main floor room which can be accessed quickly is ideal in the case there is little time to evacuate. If there are potentially dangerous but very necessary equipment inside the kit such as guns and knives, be sure that the kit is placed out of reach of children. If there are important papers such as birth certificates and social security cards inside the kit, be sure they are inside waterproof packaging. 

Review Contents Often 

Remove and replace outdated items regularly. You do not want to escape with your kit and then find out that all of your survival foods and medicines have expired and gone bad. Be sure to boldly label all of your supplies as to the date purchased and the expiration date. Rotate items with the oldest being the first used and the newest stored nearer the back or bottom of the container. Keep items organized - your bulk ammo should be placed alongside guns and food supplies should be with eating utensils and cooking equipment. 

Watch for and add New Technology as it Becomes Available 

You will always want the latest and greatest in prepper technology inside your kit. Watch for new items that will work well with your evacuation master plan. These items could be lighting, weapons, water purification equipment, or communication devices. Anything that can help you and your family become better prepared is well worth the expense. 

Make Protection a Priority

Weapons should be included in your kit. Not everyone will be as well prepared to face an emergency as you and your family are. Others may become desperate to obtain your supplies and equipment, so it is essential that you have guns and stored bulk ammo to protect and defend your possessions and your lives. Always keep an eye out for 9mm bulk ammo for sale or other ammo sales in order to minimize expenses.

As is clearly evident, it is imperative that you are always well prepared to react in the case of an extreme emergency. Following the above tips will assist you in evacuating your current home with the right prepper essentials that will keep your group safe and well.
