Pack your own Emergency Kit for your student's classroom:   

Container:

• Use a 1 gallon zip-lock bag
• All items must fit inside the bag with the zipper closed
• Ensure all items you put in the kit have an expiration beyond 06/2018
• Label the bag with your child's name, teacher and date

Drinks/food/snacks:

• Only include non-perishable items (all items are stored at room temperature)
• Only include easy open plastic or cans (no glass or boxes)
• Food should be something your child would normally eat at home
• Ideas include: bottled water, canned juice, cheese & cracker packs, gummy fruit snacks, granola bars, dried fruit, jerky
• *Please do not include nuts (tree nuts or peanuts). If any of your child's classmates has a severe food allergy, emergency personnel may not be available to help them.

Survival/comfort gear:

• Include a chemical light stick or small flashlight with fresh batteries
• Hand warmer packs
• Small shareable games, such as a deck of cards
• A letter of comfort from your family and family photo. Let your child you will be there to get them as soon as you can.
