Emergency Kit

While the university plans for emergency situations, all faculty staff and students, should plan for taking care of their own needs—as it relates to possible evacuation and closure of campus. All individuals and their families should prepare a basic emergency supply kit.

The kit should include the following:

• Water
• Non perishable food
• Battery powered radio, with extra batteries
• Flashlight with extra batteries
• First Aid Kit
• Hand sanitizer
• Dust mask (to filter dust, contaminants and germs)
• Personal sanitation products
• Local and regional maps
• Additional cash or travelers checks
• Sleeping bag or additional blankets
• Important family documents, copies of insurance cards, identification (held in a waterproof container)
