Home Emergency Preparedness
Build on your household basics with practical tools for storing drinking water, opening pantry food and adding a backup layer of warmth. Choose what fills a gap in your existing emergency supplies.
Water storage
Reliance Aqua-Tainer, 7-gallon
Give your backup water a home of its own. This rigid seven-gallon container has a hideaway spigot for easy dispensing. Keep it cool and shaded, and stack containers only when empty.
Why we love it: We love how it gives water storage a designated place in a home emergency setup, with a tap that lets you pour what you need.
Canned dinner doesn’t need a charger. This manual opener pairs cushioned handles with a large turning knob and works without batteries or electricity. Hand-wash after use.
Why we love it: We love a pantry tool that earns its place on ordinary evenings and during a power outage.
A little extra warmth, tucked into a small package. This four-pack contains 56 × 84-inch reflective blankets that add a backup wind-and-rain barrier alongside warm clothing and insulating bedding.
Why we love it: We love that the multipack lets you spread a small backup layer across household kits and grab bags.
Backup charging helps keep maps, emergency contacts and ride information available when an outlet is out of reach. Check device compatibility and charge your power bank before leaving.
Backup power
Anker Nano Power Bank, 10,000mAh
For the moments when your phone still has plans but its battery doesn’t. The Anker Nano A1259 packs 10,000mAh, a built-in USB-C cable and up to 30W output for compatible devices. Check your device’s needs and airline rules before flying.
Why we love it: We love having backup charging ready for maps, reservations and the ride home, with one less separate cable to remember.
Protect document copies from water and make luggage identifiable without displaying all your contact details. These picks address specific travel risks.
Bag identification
Travelon Silicone Privacy Luggage Tags, 3-pack
Let your suitcase introduce itself without sharing everything. These three silicone luggage tags show your name and cover the rest of your contact details. They identify your bag; they don’t track its location.
Why we love it: We love the balance of easy bag identification and a little more privacy while you travel.
Keep important papers together when the forecast has other ideas. This clear-front pouch has an 8 × 7-inch interior for folded document copies and small essentials. Its IP67 protection depends on a fully closed, properly maintained zipper.
Why we love it: We love being able to see the contents at a glance while keeping document copies in one protected place.
