Order Basic Emergency Kit 5681

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.

The weekend's excessive rainfall in Southern Oregon has created widespread road-related impacts on county-maintained roads. Nearly all areas of the county road system are being impacted. Known problem areas as of 1:30PM Sunday - Lower River Road @ Hunt Lane is closed due to high water. Gene Brown Road, O'Brien, closed due to high water Pleasant Valley Road, between Merlin Road and Tavis Road, closed due to high water Upper River Road @ Ft Vannoy School, high water 7000-8000 block of North Applegate Road, near Noble Dairy, significant debris across road, proceed with caution. This is NOT an all-inclusive list, as conditions continue to change. Drivers are reminded to limit travel to essential activities and allow themselves extra time to get to their destination. Each year, more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other thunderstorm related hazard. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that over half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water. The next highest percentage of flood-related deaths is due to walking into or near flood waters. People underestimate the force and power of water. Many of the deaths occur in cars swept downstream. Many of these drownings are preventable. Never drive around the barriers blocking a flooded road. The road may have collapsed under that water. A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes just 12 inches of rushing water to carry away most cars and just 2 feet of rushing water can carry away SUVs and trucks. It is NEVER safe to drive or walk into flood waters.
