Survival Tactix

A 72-hour kit covers six categories: one gallon of water per person per day, three days of no-cook food, light and power, key documents in a waterproof bag, first aid, and whatever pets or medically-dependent family members need daily. Build it once, check it twice a year.

Start with one step: a written pickup-failure plan and a backpack emergency card. Confirm two backup pickup adults, teach your child your out-of-area contact, and learn how school reunification actually works before you need it.
