Quick Overview

The Emergency Zone 2 Person Deluxe Earthquake Backpack is an earthquake evacuation kit for two people that packs quake gear, SOS food and water, Chlor-Floc water treatment, hygiene items, a radio and a 118 pc first aid kit. It weighs 23 lb.

The load is split between a red backpack and a red duffel bag, with two large nylon bags set aside for your own clothes, medications, important documents, cash and a map of your area. Each person gets a hard hat, safety goggles, work gloves and a motion sensor LED headlamp, and a 15 inch pry bar, rope and multitool knife ride along.

Food and water: 2 x 3600 calorie SOS food ration bars, 24 x SOS 4.2 oz water pouches, 5 Chlor-Floc water purification pouches, a 1L folding water container and an instruction sheet. The bars supply 1200 calories per person per day. Light and news: an AM/FM/WB radio with AAA batteries, a rubber flashlight with D batteries and 2 light sticks. The rope is 50 foot, 5mm. The kit measures 18" x 18" x 12". The SKU is EZ-866.

The SOS food and water carry a 5-year shelf life from date of manufacture, and the Chlor-Floc pouches a 3-year shelf life from date of manufacture. Replace the light sticks, first aid kit and batteries at the same time as the food and water, and check any dates printed on the components.

Field Application Steps

1. INVENTORY ON ARRIVAL: Open the red backpack and red duffel bag and match every item to the contents list. Download the PDF Earthquake Guidebook and read it with the Emergency Preparedness Guidebook before you stage the kit.

2. PACK YOUR OWN ITEMS: Fill the two large nylon bags with clothes, medications, important documents, cash and a map of your area, so they leave with the kit. Stage the backpack and duffel together near an exit.

3. LEARN THE LAYOUT: Decide who carries the red backpack and who carries the red duffel bag, and note which bag holds the radio, first aid kit and pry bar. Each person tries on a hard hat, safety goggles and work gloves.

4. GEAR UP BEFORE MOVING: Once the shaking stops, open the red backpack and red duffel bag, put on the hard hats, safety goggles and work gloves, and switch on the motion sensor LED headlamps. Look over your home only where it is safe, and use the 15 inch pry bar for small jobs.

5. TUNE IN FOR NEWS: Switch on the AM/FM/WB radio and follow instructions from local officials about shelters and routes. Keep the rubber flashlight and light sticks ready for light after dark.

6. WATER AND FOOD: Start with the SOS water pouches and food ration bars, which supply 1200 calories per person per day and need no extra water or reheating. Treat any other water with the Chlor-Floc pouches and 1L folding water container, as the instruction sheet directs.

7. FIRST AID AND REPORT: For a minor injury, open the 118 pc first aid kit, find the item by its name and use it as its packaging and your training allow. Call 911 for any emergency, and use the signal whistles if you are separated.

8. RESTOCK BOTH BAGS: Afterward, replace the food, water, Chlor-Floc pouches and any first aid items or batteries used. Check any dates printed on the components and repack the nylon bags before you stage the kit again.
