When's the best time to get an emergency kit?

Yesterday! Organising your supplies in the face of an emergency is not only stressful, but can often be impossible due to panic-buying, supply shortages, or simply not knowing what products you need or where to find them.

The old saying goes: 'failure to be prepared is being prepared to fail'. Well, failure is not an option in an emergency. There are no do-overs and your life may truly depend on your ability to prepare.
What do I do if I run out of supplies?

We've got ya back! All of your single-use supplies can be quickly restocked with our Emergency Preparedness Restock Kit, suited for up to 2 people.
