How to choose

Emergency kits: what to know

Every ICEKIT starts from the Government of Canada's emergency kit list and the advice of public health agencies, then adds what Canadian weather demands. We tell you exactly what is inside, how many calories and litres that is per person per day, and what the kit does not cover.

Choose by where you will be. A go-bag is for leaving home. A home system is for staying put through a long outage. Most households want one of each.

Common questions

What should be in a 72-hour emergency kit in Canada?

The Government of Canada's basic list is water, food that won't spoil, a manual can opener, a wind-up or battery flashlight and radio, a first aid kit, extra keys, cash, a copy of your emergency plan, and special items such as prescription medication, infant formula and pet supplies.

How long should an emergency kit last?

Government of Canada guidance is to be able to look after yourself for at least 72 hours. The American Red Cross suggests three days of supplies for evacuation and two weeks at home. No government body we have found recommends 30 days or more; that is a personal choice.

Is it cheaper to build my own emergency kit?

Often, yes, if you already own some of the items and have the time to source the rest. Our printable checklist is free for exactly that reason. A pre-built kit saves the sourcing, checks that the pieces work together, and gives you one refresh date for everything.

Where should I keep my emergency kit?

Somewhere you can reach in the dark and on the way out: a front hall closet is ideal. Keep heavy home supplies such as water on a ground floor or basement, away from heat. Avoid garages and attics for food, which shortens shelf life.

Not sure which kit you need?
