Medical supplies:-

If you take regular medicine, make sure you keep a supply of your medications in your emergency kit, alongside a list of their title, dosage, and copies of your prescriptions. Make sure they don't expire and plan to have 14 days' worth of any medications you might need.

Water:-

Water is the most important thing you need to survive. Make sure you have sufficient for everybody in your house. A good rule is at least three liters person for at least three days. Keep it in an airtight container for no more than 12 months. Remember to never drink tap water after an emergency until authorities have advised its safe.

Light:-

If the power's out or you have to leave at night, you're going to need light and make sure you have a torch if you have to walk anywhere. Remember not to leave the batteries in it when stored. You could also get a wind-up torch or special lights designed for power cuts and emergencies.

Spare clothes:-

Pack some warm clothes in case it's cold and some lighter layers, if it's hot, don't forget a wide-brimmed hat. Waterproofs would come in handy if the weather's bad too. Consider clothes made from natural fibers and try to pack sturdy shoes or boots and heavy-duty gloves.

Food:-

Your best bet is tinned food with a long shelf life and remembers to only store things that are easy to prepare or can be eaten as they are.
