Step 1
Make a storage container for the blizzard survival kit. A plastic container with wheels works well since the contents may be heavy. A suitcase with wheels is another option.
-
Step 2
Include lights in the blizzard survival kit. Lights include flashlights and batteries, long-lasting candles and lanterns. Buy lanterns that are safe to use indoors. You can find these things at your local super store or at a camping store.
-
Step 3
Add warmth to the blizzard survival kit. Warm things include blankets, hand warmers, extra gloves and socks. An emergency blanket is a small compact blanket that is waterproof, portable and reusable. Hand warmers are similar to ice packs that you break and shake to produce heat.

Step 4
Put a prepaid disposable cellular phone, radio, and other electronics in your kit. A cell phone battery can die or be misplaced when you need it most, so add a prepaid one that remains in the kit. Add a radio that you know works. You can choose a hand-crank or a battery-powered radio.

Step 5
Buy nonperishable food to include in your kit. Food that works well in a blizzard survival kit include canned food or dried goods, like oatmeal, beans, and rice, and snacks. Pack your family's favorite snacks to keep the spirits up.

Step 6
Add water purification tablets to the blizzard survival kit. Water tablets can be found at several places from Amazon to Dick's Sporting Goods. Don't worry about the water; there will be plenty of it outside that you can melt!
