Is this box suitable for a "Disaster Kit"

The lid does not secure and will blow open in high wind. Also, I would not put much weight on the lid as it is not reinforced. So the best I could say is: it depends on the disaster and where you intend to keep the box.

It is not totally waterproof. Depending what you are putting into it, I would make sure to place items in plastic bags as well. I love mine, and am considering ordering another. Joan

I own this box and the lifetime extra large box. They are strong enough to stand on and dry to rain. They could sit in one place for years with the interior items appropriately wrapped. MREs in the garage or back porch should be just fine. Dried beans would need other protection from tiny bugs.

This is a nice sturdy box but no lock. I am afraid that the lid could blow off. It is big enough to put alot of supplies in it.

NO. It is a windup type in case there is no electricity and no internet. Very well equipped package and well organized. It is designed for a catastrophic event and will last 4-7 days. If you have been through an earthquake that leaves your water and electricity out for 4-7 days, as I have, this is the best deal. I would suggest adding any medications or pet food as well as cash to the canvas bag as I know, these items are hard to come by. Keep your gas tank above half as the stations will not have electricity to pump gas. As we all know, it's not whether an earthquake will happen we are due.

it is very well made and substantial. it can blow up a storm, if need be. so, i think it should work quite well for you. i would take it inside when done.

So long as it isn't too exposed to extreme weather you'll be just fine. Item comes in a box with a nice zip up case inside, probably wrapped in plastic as well if I recall correctly. This is an outstanding value.

I don't think so. We have it for emergency but it does not sit very secure.

I would think so. You should be able to put anyting in the top fire box. We love ours - used it last night for the first extended period of time. It works great and is very easy to start.

I believe this would work very well for you--as long as you are not pressed against the side--and even then I don't think they could bight through....I believe this was originally designed for emergency situations with just such issues/potentials--to prevent the spread of disease in catastrophe situations. Best and safe travels!

The system i bought is a little different, so its hard to say. I think if it was me i would at least keep it out of the weather, maybe a small vented box, plywood, plastic.

I have one in mine. This is a very small and very simple and small kit... Problem is it is very rudimentary in what it contains. If bugging out only would involve small scrapes and bruises it's great. Looking for survivability long term..... Not so much

Definitely. The box is pretty good size. The whole thing is constructed very well.

Not sure about first aid. I'm an Audio/Video Installer, I use this box for small parts storage. It is perfect for that. There is a space to store/organize larger parts and tools under the lid. The individual storage units are adjustable to accommodate all differently sized items.

I agree with Lorne Robinson's review. You probably have to be very careful when you put it in the box and it may fall out when you open the box. I think the intent was to house a single key in an emergency but maybe with some feed back to the manufacturer they will find a way to accommodate te new smarter keys. Still a nice unit, have several at our church for contractors to have key fob entry when needed.

I would think it would work based on just looking at the box...but once again, it says it is one-use only, so we haven't tried it! Once would be enough if it saved a life! I think for the price it would certainly be worth it.

Hi, They are not. But almost no safe is designed for that. In case of fire, the safe will be a loss and have to be drille dopen after the fire. However the content in the safe will be "hopefully" safe. But even here I have my doubt in case of Sentry, but luckily no proof yet ...
