When an evacuation or a long outage turns a child's routine upside down, the Guardian Children's Survival Kit gives them a backpack of their own, with food and water meant to provide nutrition for 72 hours, warm layers, light and a coloring book with crayons.
For the cold: a fleece blanket, an emergency blanket, a poncho, a hand warmer and warm gloves. For the dark: a hand rechargeable flashlight and an AM/FM radio with its batteries in the kit.
Why it works:
- Their own go-bag: a backpack packed with a coloring book and crayons and a 5-in-1 emergency whistle.
- Food and water that keep for years: a 3,600-calorie food bar and a dozen 4 oz water pouches with a 5-year shelf life, meant to provide nutrition for 72 hours; also a straw hydration bag (1 liter) and 10 tablets that each purify a liter of water.
- Layers for a cold night: a fleece blanket, an emergency blanket, an emergency poncho, a hand/body warmer and a pair of warm gloves.
- Light without hunting for batteries: a flashlight you recharge by hand, so it never needs batteries, plus an AM/FM radio that ships with its batteries and an emergency bright stick.
- First aid and clean hands: a 44-piece first aid kit for minor injuries, a basic hygiene kit, 9 wet naps, a pocket tissue packet and 3 face masks.
Who it's built for:
For parents, it is your child's own go-bag, ready to grab beside yours. For schools and youth programs, it is a per-child 72-hour kit.
