72-Hour Survival Kit. Stay alert and keep these items ready this rainy season

CLOTHES
When it rains, It pours! When you get wet, make sure you have dry clothes to quickly change into. You can't afford to get sick and in times like these, the threat of disease spreading is extremely high

WHISTLE
It's bad enough that you don't have a signal on your mobile phone but worse when you run out of battery. When you're in distress and need to draw attention to yourself, having a whistle can help rescuers spot you.

FLASHLIGHT
When electricity is out, don't be left in the dark. A handy flashlight will be your best guide as you rummage through the darkness.

BOTTLED WATER
You can survive without food but not without water; it's the most important thing on your list and should be the first thing you pack in your survival kit. Prepare at least 3 liters of water that's good for 3 days.

IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS
When you need to thread on high waters, it's a good idea to keep your important documents in a waterproof-container or resealable plastic bag.

CELLPHONE
If you're stranded in the middle of nowhere and you need to call for help, your mobile phone will do, just make sure your battery is always full. So hold off on playing Candy Crush for now, your ticket request can wait.

FIRST AID KIT
Whatever the weather is, you should have a first aid kit with you at all times. Just remember, your best defense is a good offense.

BATTERY-OPERATED RADIO
Keep up-to-date with what's going on in the news. Listen for updates and monitor events folowing a disaster. Ignoring evacuation instructions could spell the difference between life and death.

READY-TO-EAT FOOD
Food is vital for your survival. Just make sure you pack foods that will last at least 3-7 days. Packaged non-perishable or canned food and boxed juiced are best.

EMERGENCY MONEY
ATM offline? Always make sure you have cash on hand just in case you'll need to buy extra supplies.
