Emergencies are some of the most inconsiderate things on earth. They happen on their own timing, without even checking if you are ready for them or not. Emergencies do not care if you are having a bad day or a good day, they can happen anytime, anywhere, and to anyone. Some emergencies and disasters are easier to handle than others, but all of them have something in common: The more prepared you are for them, the easier they are to deal with. In fact, when it comes to emergencies and disasters, your level of preparedness could spell the difference between your life or death.
Thankfully, it does not require much to prepare yourself to handle emergencies and disasters. Whether you are home, on the road, camping out, or even just in a mall, emergencies can happen, and you can be prepared for them. You do not have to bring your entire house in a backpack just to be ready for any emergency, you only need some items readily on hand. And no need to get overwhelmed about where to get these things, most of the essential items you will need are nothing special or exotic. Most of them are so easy to find in your regular grocery store, and might even be part of your usual grocery list. There is no need to hoard, just stock up extras in case you need to shelter yourself in place, or if the stores suddenly close (like in a pandemic), or if you need to relocate or evacuate.
Of course, people often fret about how much they would have to spend for their emergency items. The good news is it does not have to break the bank. Again, since most of the items recommended here are usually already part of the average person’s grocery list, you might not even need to spend that much more than your usual budget.
So, here now are 34 essential, but inexpensive, items to stock up on in preparation for emergencies and disasters.
