What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Emergency Preparedness Kit (72-hour)
RequiredFEMA recommends every household have a 72-hour emergency kit. Building or gifting one is the core hands-on activity of this quest — water pouches, first aid, emergency blankets, and a flashlight are the baseline for any Utah earthquake or wildfire scenario.
First Aid Kit & Manual
RequiredRed Cross volunteer training starts with basic first aid. Having a certified kit at home and knowing how to use it makes you a genuine asset in the first hours after any disaster, before professional responders arrive.
Handheld Weather Radio (NOAA)
During power outages after earthquakes or floods, a battery-powered NOAA weather radio is often the only reliable source of emergency alerts. Essential for anyone serious about community preparedness in the Wasatch Front.
