Disaster kits contain non-perishable food that requires little or no preparation and cooking, potable water, a well-stocked first aid kit, a flashlight, a battery-operated radio, extra batteries, personal grooming and sanitation supplies, non-prescription medication (e.g., aspirin, antacids and anti-diarrheal medication), bleach (for water-purification) and bedding. Some disaster kits may have special supplies for cold weather.
