26 Emergency Items FEMA Wants You To OwnFEMA is a somewhat controversial government agency. Some people love FEMA because they bring food and supplies after a disaster. Other people hate them because they don’t bring enough food and supplies after a disaster (or not quickly enough).

Some people say FEMA is inefficient and a waste of tax money. Other people argue that they wouldn’t be so inefficient if they were properly funded. But whatever you think of FEMA, the people working there want you to be prepared.

Why? Because the more prepared you are, the less you’ll rely on them for help when disaster strikes (and they can only help so many people).

On their website, FEMA lists 11 items you should have in your basic emergency supply kit:

  1. Water
  2. Food
  3. Radio
  4. Flashlight
  5. First aid kit
  6. Whistle
  7. Dust mask
  8. Sanitation supplies
  9. Wrench or pliers
  10. Can opener
  11. Local maps

In the video below, Survival Know How examines their list and explains what he likes and what he would add to it.

On their website, FEMA also lists 15 items you should have in addition to your basic supplies.

  1. Prescription drugs/glasses
  2. Infant formula/diapers
  3. Pet food/extra water
  4. Important documents
  5. Cash or traveler’s checks
  6. Emergency preparedness book
  7. Sleeping bag/blanket
  8. Change of clothing
  9. Chlorine bleach
  10. Fire extinguisher
  11. Firestarters
  12. Feminine supplies
  13. Mess kits
  14. Paper and pencil
  15. Books, games, etc.

Survival Know How examines this list as well in the video below.

You can check out the list for yourself by visiting Ready.gov.

    Greene Concepts, a small, but humble company, sells Be Water: It’s an Artesian water company that supports US vets, aids people in disaster situations and provides clean PH balanced water for sale on Amazon.

    My BOB was light enough to carry, but didn’t have all the “necessary” supplies I would need to get to our destination. I was able to find two used hand-pulled golf carts to carry an additional hardbox and water for each of us. Sure will save wear and tear on our backs. Couple of bungee cords to strap additional items on and we will be off. Sled would be great, but not much snow in Texas.

    Mostly you need to redo the color selections on your site – these are appallingly hard to read and frankly, very irritating. Sorry. Love the info, but it sure is hard to read.

    You need to fix the links to items in the list. I clicked on radio and instead I get a tacticool bivy sack.

    lots of good information to follow up on. If you have a dry powder extinguisher you will need to shake it every now and again otherwise the powder settles at the bottom and will become a “lump” so when you use it no powder will come out.

    FEMAS list is a great compilation for bugout or bugin situations . However it does not take into consideration the two most common disasters for the U.S. Number one being tornadoes. Two is the flooding from hurricanes, or like he dam bursting that took place north central Michigan. To be able to use the recommended items , you have to have a secure place to use them , a way to transport them and some way to keep power to those items that need batteries . This is the main reason l would recommend these items for bugout , bugin situations. Government agencies tend to be inflexible in their decisions making when flexibility in mandatory in emergencies.
