        Emergency Preparedness FAQs

        A basic kit should include flashlights, extra batteries, a weather radio, first aid supplies, bottled water, non-perishable food, phone chargers, and hygiene products.

        Home kits focus on individual and family needs, like food, water, and medical supplies, while business kits should support employee safety, communication, and operational continuity. Businesses often need additional lighting, power backups, radios, and first aid supplies for multiple people.

        Stock up on commonly used sizes like AA, AAA, D, and 9V. Also include specialty batteries for medical devices, flashlights, or two-way radios. Lithium batteries are great for long shelf life and reliable performance in extreme temperatures.

        Battery-powered or hand-crank weather radios keep you informed of severe weather alerts, evacuation orders, and safety updates when the power goes out and cell service may be unreliable.

        Check your kit every six months. Replace expired food, water, and batteries. Test flashlights and radios, and update your emergency contact list as needed.

        Yes! Batteries Plus carries a wide range of emergency supplies, including flashlights, backup batteries, power stations, chargers, and radios. We also offer expert advice to help you prepare for hurricanes, blizzards, wildfires, and more.
