Section 1

Water Storage.

The waterBOB stores flat. The collapsible jugs handle sudden disruptions. Together they solve the apartment water problem without permanent floor space.

Section 2

Food Supply.

Three days of no-cook food on one closet shelf. Familiar brands, rotated into regular meals.

Section 3

Power.

No generator option in an apartment. A compact power station is the only safe choice.

Section 4

Stairwell Go-Bag.

The bag by the front door. Shoes, headlamp, mask, whistle, documents. If you can grab one thing on the way out, this is it.

Section 5

Lighting.

Hands-free headlamp for dark stairwells. Battery lantern for the apartment. No candles.

Section 6

Fire and CO Safety.

A kitchen extinguisher and an independent smoke/CO alarm that works during outages.

Section 7

Documents.

Renter-specific: insurance, lease, landlord contact, building management after-hours number.

Gear

Essentials. Start here.

A compact power station and a quality headlamp are the foundation of an apartment kit.
