Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the best places to store this kit?

The Emergency Commuter Kit is sized to fit in a glove box, under a car seat, in a desk drawer, in a locker, or in a backpack.

How long do the food and water last before they expire?

The 2,400 calorie food bar and water pouches carry a minimum five-year shelf life under normal storage conditions. Check the expiration dates annually and rotate supplies as needed. Keep the kit away from extreme heat, as high temperatures can accelerate degradation of food-grade components.
