5. Medications
Over the counter medication that quickly and effectively respond to common ailments such as pain relievers, aspirin and ibuprofen. These medications can come in extremely handy during emergency situations, and not many people think of carrying them. If you or a loved one requires prescription medication (for diabetes or anything else), make sure you keep an extra supply stored in your emergency kit at all times. It would also be good to carry an Epipen in your emergency kit in case you or anyone you know suffers from severe allergies.
