earthquake kit

Emergency preparedness package

An earthquake kit is a collection of emergency supplies assembled in advance for survival after an earthquake—typically including water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit, and important documents.

The term extends to any disaster preparedness kit: We keep an earthquake kit in the garage and another in the car.
