Would be good if you add a small pocket guide book of how to survive (about few pages) inside the bag of the disaster kit.

Number two needs to be fixed. Because everyone that didn't live on campus automatically will answer no, not because they were not equipped but because it does not apply, please add a N/A to number two otherwise your data will be skewed.

It would be cool if apartments came with a disaster kit inside it. If you're doing on-campus SFSU housing, maybe you could simulate (for example) Park Merced apartments equipped with a disaster kit tucked away somewhere. I think this is a really cool project. Good luck!

I'm sure there are things I'd want to buy separately, but having an essentials kit for people who don't really think about it would be great!

I never lived on campus

I would prepare it my self if it was cheaper.

I have a kit I bought on amazon, they are very easy to get.

I live with one other person and would buy a kit for two.

I think disaster kit is a great idea! Also I think that some kind of written information or a booklet with useful advises would be beneficial in a time of confusion when disaster strikes.

the kit better come with beer and a SUNN 0))) record so i can at least enjoy my slow death.
