Use and Maintenance
How to use the package
Accessible location
Place the emergency kit in an accessible location in the house, known to all family members.
Dry storage
Store the kit in a dry place, preferably in a higher location. This reduces the chance of it being damaged in a flood.
Check expiration dates
Periodically check the contents of the kit for expiration dates. Replace used or expired items in a timely manner. Also check if your first aid kit is still complete and replenish it if necessary.
Test the emergency radio
Test the emergency radio with the whole family beforehand and make sure it is fully charged. This way, you can quickly consult the radio in an emergency without losing time. Test it at least once a year and check the signal reception and the operation of the various functions.

FAQs
Is the emergency kit intended for one person or multiple people?
The kit is designed for one person, although some items can be used by the whole family (emergency radio, first aid kit, multi-tool, etc.). We therefore recommend supplementing the kit according to your personal situation. Consider adding extra emergency ponchos, water, food, or medication, for example.
