The most essential part of an earthquake kit is water. You will need at least one gallon, per person, per day. Plastic is ideal to store it in, as it doesn't decompose as quickly as other materials. You will want at least enough food for three days. You can get MRE's from stores such as Dick's or Army Surplus places, or simple foods that take a long time to spoil, such as peanut butter and jelly with crackers. Other items include tools, sanitizing items, and first aid kits.
