<h3>Step 1: Planning</h3>
<p>Evaluate the needs of your family members, including any medical requirements, dietary restrictions, and consider pets' needs. List all the essentials needed to support your family for three days.</p>

<h3>Step 2: Water Supply</h3>
<p>Calculate and store at least one gallon of water per person per day, with a minimum three-day supply for drinking and sanitation.</p>

<h3>Step 4: Essential Tools</h3>
<p>Include basic tools such as a manual can opener, a flashlight with extra batteries, a radio, and a multi-purpose tool.</p>

<h3>Step 5: First Aid Kit</h3>
<p>Prepare or purchase a first aid kit that includes necessary medications, bandages, antiseptics, and any prescription medications your family needs.</p>

<h3>Step 6: Personal Items</h3>
<p>Collect personal hygiene items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and other sanitary supplies. Also, pack a change of clothes for each person.</p>

<h3>Step 7: Important Documents</h3>
<p>Make copies of important documents, such as identification, insurance policies, bank account records, and store them in a waterproof container.</p>

<h3>Step 9: Pet Supplies</h3>
<p>Assemble a kit for your pets with food, water, medications, and any other items they will need.</p>

<h3>Step 10: Pack &amp; Store</h3>
<p>Pack all items in one or two easily accessible, durable containers. Label the containers and store them in a place known to all family members.</p>
