Sanitation & Hygiene Supplies

During periods of emergency or disaster, sanitation levels can deteriorate rapidly and disease can spread and even cause death in a matter of days. Maintaining good hygiene will prevent disease and illness from spreading. You will need a sanitary way to use the restroom, a way to keep your living environment clean, and a way to keep your hands, mouth, and body clean.

Some Hygiene or Sanitation items you should keep in an ‘easy to access’ place in case you find yourself in an emergency situation could include:

  1. Waterless Hand Sanitizer
  2. Antibiotic ointment
  3. Antiseptic cleansing wipes
  4. Bar of Soap
  5. Tissue Packs
  6. Toilet Paper Rolls
  7. Latex-Free Gloves
  8. Particle Respirator / Dust Mask
  9. Toothbrushes
  10. CombRazor

Some other less essential, but ideal items could include:

  1. Clean Change of Clothes
  2. Toothbrushes
  3. Comb
  4. Razor
  5. Port-a-Potty Lid
  6. Port-a-Potty Bags
  7. Port-a-Potty Chemicals

Also remember to keep a clean, sanitary source of water at all times. You can store it by using any type of water preserver, or you can keep a water filter near by.
