The National Emergency Management Agency recommends having a store of supplies to last at least three days in case you’re stuck at home in an emergency. You should also have a grab bag of essentials in case you need to evacuate in a hurry.
Our test writer, Amy, stayed on Matiu Somes Island for three days to trial a commercially made grab bag, comparing it to our DIY kit. Check out how it went.
Day 1 - the kits
Day 2 - food and water
Day 3 - the good, the bad and the verdict
