Residents in wildfire-prone areas are urged to have an emergency supplies kit to bring with them if they are evacuated from their homes, especially as Arizona residents are beginning to see early widespread fire activity throughout the state.  

An emergency supply kit should be put together long before a wildfire or another disaster occurs. Make sure to keep it easily accessible so you can take it with you when you have to evacuate.  

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that residents near a disaster store emergency supplies in a plastic tub, small suitcase, trash can, backpack, or other containers.  

Residents should make sure they have the necessities, such as three gallons of water per person and a three-day supply of ready-to-eat food, the NFPA said. A first-aid kit, prescription medications, contact lenses, and non-prescription drugs should also be taken into account.   

Copies of any important family documents, including insurance policies, identification, bank account records, and emergency contact numbers should also be taken and put into a waterproof, portable container in your kit, the NFPA said.   

The association lists other items that would help in a disaster, including:  

Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person  

Battery-powered or hand-cranked radio and an NOAA weather radio to receive up-to-date information  

Dust mask or cotton T-shirt to filter the air  

Matches in a waterproof container  

Complete change of clothing including long pants, long sleeve shirts, and sturdy shoes stored in a waterproof container  

The entire NFPA checklist of supplies can be found  here .
