Emergency Kit Checklist

Essential Supplies
Tinned food, disposable lighter, a fuel or gas lamp, torches and spare batteries, fresh drinking water. Remember, power could be cut for a number of days, so you need to be prepared.
Communications
A battery-powered, portable radio with spare batteries. This can often be the only means of outside communication. Essential for cyclone warnings and other important information.
Other Essentials
Water containers, a spare tin opener and self-contained cooking facilities. The barbecue can be invaluable. Don't forget gas and coals.
Clothing
Essential spare clothes. Warm, dry clothing will make a cyclone situation more comfortable.
First Aid Knowledge
A complete First Aid Kit is essential. Knowing how to use it can save lives.
Valuable Items
Masking tape and plastic garbage bags will prove useful in many situations.
Tin Of Paint
If there's a chance your property could become isolated, painting your property name on the roof will assist emergency services. This is particularly important in remote areas.
