What to stockpile at home for sheltering in place — water storage, food supply, power, medical, and communications gear that keeps your household running when the grid goes down.
Your home kit is built for staying put — surviving power outages, supply disruptions, or extended emergencies without leaving. The goal is 2-4 weeks of self-sufficiency at minimum.

You don't need to buy everything at once. Start with water storage, a manual can opener, and a basic first aid kit — and build from there month by month.
