Why use the Emergency Bag Checklist Planner?
In situations that are uncommon in daily life—power outages, water outages, typhoons, earthquakes, or sudden evacuation—it can be hard to remember what to pack first. Basic items such as water, a power bank, and first-aid supplies matter, but the right list also changes depending on family members, pets, regular medicine, and the season.
This tool lets you select your family size and situation, then organizes 24-hour, 48-hour, or 72-hour essentials, personalized items, and the items to reinforce first so you can review an emergency bag quickly. It is useful when you are building a disaster kit for the first time or checking what is missing from a bag you already have.
How to use it
- Choose the number of adults, children, or older family members, and whether pets are included.
- Check personal conditions such as regular medicine, glasses or contacts, and baby supplies.
- Select the expected evacuation duration and season.
- Enter items you already have to see what is still missing.
- Copy the result checklist for a shopping memo or family sharing.
Especially useful when
1) Building an emergency bag for the first time
Because basic items and personalized items are shown separately, you can prepare what you actually need first instead of buying too much at once.
2) Your household situation has changed
Additional items change depending on children, older adults, pets, and regular medication. If you moved or your family situation changed, it is worth checking again.
3) Updating the bag by season
The planner calls out seasonal items that are easy to miss, such as hygiene and dehydration preparation in summer or warmth protection in winter.

FAQ
Should I choose 24, 48, or 72 hours?
If you are starting from scratch, 48 hours is a practical baseline. Use 72 hours when transportation may be limited, your household is larger, or you want a wider safety buffer, then check whether the final bag is still realistic to carry.
How heavy should an emergency bag be?
It should be light enough to carry for a long time. Instead of putting everything into one bag, you can split supplies into smaller bags for each family member.
Should I include cash or copies of ID documents?
Small cash, emergency contacts, and copies of important documents can help. If documents include personal information, keep them in a waterproof pouch and consider the risk of loss.
Can I prepare it once and leave it alone?
No. Water, snacks, medicine, batteries, and seasonal items need periodic replacement or checks. Reviewing the bag at least once each quarter is safer.
