Emergency Preparedness Week 2026 Kit Challenge

This year, we invite you to participate in our Emergency Preparedness Week kit challenge for a chance to win a free emergency kit.

Let us know how you and your household are prepared for emergencies.

It can be as simple as building an emergency kit with items found around your home, creating a household emergency plan, or becoming more informed about the hazards in your area.

Visit the Emergency kit challenge page for more details, including the rules and regulations.
