Given how frequently Nepal is getting hit with aftershocks, it is very important to BE PREPARED. Being prepared means having some emergency supplies ready that you can grab and rush out in case of an emergency. This could be a backpack that you keep next to your doors, or some other bag in some other easy-to-access location. Here are the fundamentals of an emergency kit:
1. WATER:
A few bottles of water per person. 3 day supply. Dehydration is dangerous.
2. FOOD:
Some non-perishable food. Chauchau, chiura, bhatmas, whatever. 3 day supply.
3. FLASHLIGHT
This could be very important if either the earthquake strikes during the night, or if you have to sleep outside.
4. RADIO
For any emergency news and information.
5. BATTERIES
Extra batteries for the flashlight and radio.
6. MEDICAL SUPPLIES
Any emergency medication that you need day to day. Some painkillers. Some bandages - bandaids and bigger bandages. A thermometer.
7. IMPORTANT PERSONAL DOCUMENTS
Citizenship. Passport. Emergency contact information.
8. SANITATION AND PERSONAL HYGIENE ITEMS
Sanitary pads, soaps, some Piyush tablets, and anything else that comes to mind.
9. CELL PHONE + CHARGER
10. EXTRA CASH
Keeping these supplies handy could save a life.

अत्यावश्यक सामाग्रीहरूको सुची
नेपालमा निरन्तर आईरहेको भुकम्पले हामी सबै आतन्कित भएको यो अवस्थामा सम्यम रहनु र तयार रहनु एकदमै आवश्यक छ । भुकम्प कुनै बेला पनि आउनसक्ने भएकाले, सबैले एउटा झोलामा अत्यावश्यक सामाग्रीहरू राखेमा हतारको बेलामा सजिलो हुनेछ र घरबिहिन भएको अवस्थामा चाहिने सामान आफुसङ्गै हुनेछ । कुन सामग्री आवश्यक छ जान्नकोलागि तलको सुची हेर्नुहोस् :
- पानी : ३ दिन जतिलाई पुग्ने पानीको बतल ।
- खाना : नकुहिने नबिग्रिने खाना । चाउचाउ, बिस्कुट, भट्मास्, आदि ३ दिन लाई पुग्ने ।
- टर्च लाइट : यदी भुकम्प रातिको समयमा आएमा अथवा राती घर बाहिर सुत्नु परेमा यो निकै सहयोगी हुनेछ ।
- रेडियो : समाचार सुन्नको लागि ।
- ब्यटेरी : टर्च लाइट र रेडियोकालागी ब्याटेरी ।
- मेडिकल सामग्री : दुखेको निको हुने (पेनकिलर), सानो ह्यन्डिप्लास्ट, ब्यान्डेज, थर्मोमिटर, आदि ।

यी सामानलाई एउटा झोलामा हालेर सधैं आफु नजिकै राख्नु होला ।
