You never know what might happen and it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.

Common emergency trips to the drugstore, hardware store, or grocery store in search of something that you absolutely had to have in that moment could all of been avoided had these things been readily available.

While everyone has slightly different needs, these emergency kits are a good idea for everyone.

• Fire Extinguisher

• Rags/Buckets
• Flashlight
• Batteries

Your apartment is still going to need a few other items depending on the situation, but with these kits readily available, you should feel prepared.

Until the emergency strikes, it’s okay to store these kits away; As long as you remember where they are in case you need them last minute.
