Upon researching, I found these helpful government resources for places prone to wildfires or earthquakes: https://www.ready.gov/kit https://readyforwildfire.org/prepare-for-wildfire/emergency-supply-kit/ https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/survival-kit-supplies.html
The items that came up across the three:
- Water and non-perishable food (for humans and for pets)
- Flashlight and radio (hand cranked or battery powered with extra batteries)
- First aid kit, hygiene, and sanitation supplies
- Prescription meds
- Local maps
- A change of clothes and some blankets
- Some cash
- Copies of important documents (birth certificate, licenses, passports)
- Cell phone chargers
