A ready kit is a good thing to have in case of nearly any emergency. Floods, fires, and earthquakes are often not what kill people. It’s lack of preparedness. If you happen to survive a major calamity, wouldn’t it be sad to die of starvation afterward? To die of an infected scrape on your knee would be the ultimate insult to hardiness. Just a few items could be all it takes to ensure your survival—after you’ve already survived the catastrophe.
Although the above is dramatic, there is some truth in it. Often, the emergency is less than catastrophic, so the chances of survival are much greater. Even if the emergency situation is not so wide-spread and disastrous, having a kit can make life much more bearable until things transition back to normal.
