We are often meet with such emergency situations which are beyond our control. While some of these are natural disasters others are man-inflicted. We can't always control the occurrence of such disasters but can surely control the severity of the disaster. This obviously depends on how well prepared we are in handling a crisis situation. That is why it is always a wise to keep your emergency survival kit close. It depends on your unique needs to select the proper emergency kits and supplies. Once a disaster has already occurred you won't have the time or the be calm to think out your plan and get emergency supplies. Hence being proactive and prepared is always the first step.
Although preparation will obviously pay off for those who have taken the time, it can also help you help others while you wait for rescue teams or officials to arrive on the scene. In general, survival kits include crucial supplies during these uncertain periods of time. Preserved food and sanitary drinking water take on a new importance in the wake of a disaster and should be in any kit. Most people also add lighting equipment, sanitation aids and survival gear. These days, you can find different kits for different types of potential disasters, from earthquakes and hurricanes to global pandemics. The following specialty kits cater to these particular situations:

They often have a child ID & records kit to help identify and track missing persons, especially children, who might not have ID readily available.

Some kits go as far as including safety corner bumpers to prevent domestic accidents, child safety cabinet latches for storage areas, all purpose safety straps to prevent children from accessing dangerous places and automatic night lights that work even during black outs, which are common during the aftermath of a disaster.
