Infants

Ready.gov's extra items for babies: infant formula, bottles, diapers, wipes and diaper rash cream (Ready.gov). The Red Cross adds baby food (Red Cross). Pack for the same number of days as the rest of the kit, and ask your pediatrician about safe feeding if clean water runs short.

Children

Activities: books, games or activities, which both lists include. Hours without power or screens go faster with something to do.
Comfort: a favorite small toy or blanket.
Information: a card in each child's bag with parents' names, phone numbers and an out-of-area contact.
Practice: show older children where the kit is and how the radio and flashlight work.

Keeping children calm without power

Download audiobooks and stories to a phone or tablet before an emergency, so they play offline from a charged power bank; pack a few paper books, cards and a small game in the go-bag. For pets, a sturdy carrier with your contact details on it is the item people most often lack when they need to leave quickly.
