Under the Bed Stash List

Your Under-the-Bed Stash: Because Disasters Don’t Wait for You to Get Dressed

We spend about 30% of our lives in bed, so it makes sense to keep emergency supplies within arm’s reach. Most disasters will give you time to escape, but major earthquakes, flash floods, or other sudden events could trap you in your bedroom. And for less extreme nighttime emergencies? You’ll be glad to have that flashlight handy.

Instead of fumbling in the dark (literally), use this interactive bedside PPE checklist to make sure you have everything you need. We’ve categorized supplies into essential and bonus items, so you can focus on what truly matters—like not stepping on glass barefoot at 3 AM.
