Order Basic Emergency Kit 5577

Your kits are a foundational part of your preparedness. What you have in your kit, along with your plan and skills, is what you will have to survive in the event of an emergency. 

Each person should have a series of kits taylor-made for them. Each kit will contain supplies that the owner is familiar with and knows how to use and care for.

Check out the kits and suggested items by dowloading the Go Kits Checklist at the bottom of this page and start building your kit inventory. If you don't have one, we recommend starting with a Go-Kit followed by your Grab-n-Go Binder and your Evac Box. If you have pets, build their kit with your Go-Kit. Your Bug Out Bag, Car Kit, Shelter In Place and 2 Weeks Ready kits are larger and will require more time to assemble. 

Need help with kits? We can help!

If you just need to get a kit and don't have the time to build it yourself, order a 1 or 2 person 3-Day Go-Kit! Rogue Valley Emergency Management has partnered with Friends of Search and Rescue to provide an affordable way for residents to get a kit without having to build one. The kits are sold at or near cost. To order, download the order form below, or call Josephine County Emergency Management at 541-474-5308.

🚨 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀 & 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 🚨 Flooding can contaminate private wells with bacteria or other harmful substances, making the water unsafe to drink. If your well has been flooded: ✔️ Boil your water for at least one minute after it reaches a rolling boil, or use an alternative water source. ✔️ Look for signs of contamination—cloudy or muddy water may indicate your well has been impacted. ✔️ Get your water tested for coliform bacteria by an approved drinking water lab before using it for drinking or cooking. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: 🔹 Run an outside spigot until the water runs clear. 🔹 For many private wells, mixing 4 cups of bleach with 5 gallons of water will be enough to treat 200 gallons of water which yields approximately 50 ppm or 50mg/L 🔹 Circulate the bleach by running an outside hose into the well casing until you smell chlorine from the hose. 🔹 Turn on all cold water faucets inside until you smell chlorine, then turn them off. 🔹 Wait at least 8 hours before using the water. 🔹 Flush the system until no chlorine smell remains. 🔹 Test your water at least 5 days after disinfection—only use it for drinking or cooking once results confirm it’s safe.
