Do you have any emergency kits?

I think a lot of people have First Aid kits. In my head @Fleura is prepared for everything, and never gets flustered when an emergency arises.
Because they were free, I now have a Woman’s Emergency Kit, and a Pet Emergency Kit. Now, “emergency” is used loosely when it comes to the woman’s items, but if you are a woman, you would definitely appreciate having it.
So, do you have any emergency kits you have done in a DIY style? Or bought in a store? I guess my car has a bit of an emergency kit, as I always have a jug of water, and a blanket in it. That’s a sad version though.

I was a Girl Scout and my husband a Boy Scout. We have one cat. We are always prepared for anything and everything we can think of. My laptop, phone all the things are always within arms reach for obvious reasons. No matter what I'm almost always prepared.

@Treborika Life isn't black and white there are always shades of grey.

Yes, I have a couple. Just for curiousity, what is in the pet emergency kit that is not in the human one?

@snowy22315 You’re welcome. I’m giving one woman’s kit to my sister to put in her car for my oldest niece. Of course with Sadie, I’ll keep one pet kit in the house, and one in the car.
They gave me like six a piece.

Since I am mostly home, yes I have mine right in my hall closet here.
I mean if I am backpacking..yeah I take dog spray deterrent..have to be alive.
And bear spray for attackers..human.
That's a kit I guess.

Well funnily enough I do have a blanket in my car, and a bottle of water (for the car) and extra oil, and jump leads, and spare light bulbs and fuses, and a first aid kit, a survival blanket, and a hammer (in case I need to smash the electric windows), plus odd things like 'emergency' gift ribbon and sticky tape, shopping bags, an umbrella...
And in my every day bag (wouldn't call it a handbag, it's a tiny backpack) I have various other items like cable ties, sticking plasters, spare feminine hygiene items, painkillers, safety pins, emergency cutlery...
Not so organised in the house though.

Well, I have Band-Aids in my bathroom cabinet. I supposed I should get an "official" Emergency Kit--one never knows.

@ambiepam Although I’m not really of a valetudinarian disposition, I’ve taken recently to having in my car a bag of what’s necessary for an unexpected sojourn in hospital. I’d hate to be rushed in and have to wear one of their awful gowns until my wife arrived with more appropriate attire. How daft is that?
