Earthquake emergency kit: What should it contain, how much does it cost, and how should I prepare it?

Following the III Simulacro Nacional Multipeligro on Tuesday, October 13, the preparation of households for earthquakes and other emergencies has returned to the public agenda in Peru. The multi-hazard simulation, conducted in Lima Metropolitana and the Callao region, highlighted the necessity of emergency readiness.

In parallel, regional reporting noted a separate major tourism and economic event during the Semana Morazánica 2026 in Honduras. That holiday period mobilized 1.6 million people, resulting in significant domestic travel and generating over $30 million (769 million lempiras) in economic revenue for the country.
