Other items that are important for your emergency kit are:

· Essential documents such as identification, insurance papers, medical information.

· Some spare cash is always a good idea; small denominations are usually best.

· A permanent marker and tape is useful to use for writing a note on your door regarding your location and condition so that family, friends, and response personnel know how best to help you.

· A copy of your emergency plan will have important information about your emergency contacts, and will remind you what other members of your family are likely to do in an emergency situation.
