Good to know

• • No national South African guidance was found on how many days to prepare for or how much water to store.
• • The kit list is from the Western Cape provincial disaster management centre (flood/winter advice); it also advises making a household emergency plan.
• • South Africa's guidance is for natural hazards (floods, storms, fires); no war-specific household guidance was found.
