Emergency kits and survival kits

What do you need as a basic emergency kit for the first 72 hours after a disaster, calamity or major disruption has occurred? In 2009, the government launched the 'Think ahead' campaign for this purpose. In 2022, the NCTV announced that, in their opinion, more Dutch people should prepare for disasters or cyber attacks, for example, after which theThink Ahead campaign was revived. NATO Admiral Rob Bauer also recently warned that the Dutch should prepare for 'the unexpected'.

What's in an emergency kit or survival kit?

This page lists all the complete emergency kits that we have carefully put together. Here you will find everything the government advises + useful extras. All our emergency kits are delivered with a backpack in which you can transport and/or store the entire contents. The exception are the Blackout Packs. These are delivered in a storage box, because you do not have to flee in the event of a power failure and can therefore simply stay at home. If you already know exactly what you want in your emergency kit, you can also create your own emergency kit.

On average, how many calories does a person need per day?

The number of calories needed per day varies depending on several factors, including age, gender, weight, height, body composition and activity level. There is no universal standard for exact calorie requirements, but here are general guidelines:

These are only general estimates, and it is important to consider individual needs.

Noodpakket kopen bij SOS Central

 Wat heb je nodig als basis noodpakket voor de eerste 72 uur nadat zich een ramp, calamiteit of grote verstoring heeft voorgedaan? De overheid heeft in 2009 hiervoor de campagne 'Denk vooruit' opgezet. In 2022 liet de NCTV weten dat meer Nederlanders zich wat hen betreft zouden moeten voorbereiden op bijvoorbeeld rampen of cyberaanvallen, waarna de Denk Vooruit-campagne nieuw leven werd ingeblazen. Begin 2024 waarschuwde NAVO-admiraal Rob Bauer dat Nederlanders zich moeten voorbereiden op 'het onverwachte'. En NAVO-chef Mark Rutte riep in december nog dat "het tijd is om ons geestelijk voor te bereiden op oorlog".
