Emergencies and threats to our safety rarely happen when it's convenient. Hurricanes, severe storms, power outages, wildfires, and other natural disasters can disrupt everyday life with little warning. But today's threats go far beyond natural disasters. Cyberattacks, terrorist attacks, sabotage of critical infrastructure, civil unrest, and even conventional military (kinetic) attacks against the American homeland by hostile foreign nations or criminal organizations are real possibilities that cannot be ignored.

Our nation's dependence on electricity, communications networks, transportation systems, water supplies, and complex supply chains makes our communities increasingly vulnerable to disruptions, whether caused by natural disasters, deliberate attacks, or other emergencies. A major incident could overwhelm emergency services, interrupt essential supplies, and leave individuals, families, and entire communities without outside assistance for days or longer.

Our Emergency Readiness Gear collection brings together practical equipment and supplies to help individuals, families, businesses, and communities prepare for these challenges. Explore emergency medical kits, first-aid supplies, backup communications, portable power, emergency lighting, emergency backpacks, and other preparedness essentials designed to help you remain self-reliant when normal services are disrupted.

We're continually expanding our Emergency Readiness Gear collection, adding new products and practical solutions as they become available. Be sure to check back often to see what's new. And if there's a particular product, piece of equipment, or preparedness essential you'd like us to offer, please let us know! We welcome your suggestions and are always looking for ways to make this collection more useful to the people and communities we serve.

Preparedness isn't about living in fear. It's about recognizing the world we live in and taking reasonable steps to protect yourself, your family, and your neighbors. Whether the emergency comes from Mother Nature, a technological failure, or a deliberate attack, the time to prepare is before it happens—not after the lights go out, communications fail, or help is unavailable.
