✓Heavy duty waterproof✓72 hour ready✓Pre packed, grab and go

Built right, inside and out

The bag has to survive the flood. The gear inside has to get you through it.

The backpack itself is a heavy duty waterproof dry bag. Roll top closure to keep water out, welded seams that hold under pressure, and straps that carry a full load on a long walk. It's built to take a beating on the worst day of the year.

And everything sealed inside is chosen to the same standard. A radio and power bank that actually holds charge, real first aid, a multi tool you'd keep using, and long life food with years left on the clock. No cheap filler that lets you down the moment you reach for it.

Why prepare

Emergencies don't send a warning

Flooding, power outages and evacuations happen fast across Aotearoa, often with no notice. Having practical supplies ready beforehand is what lets a household respond calmly instead of scrambling.

Preparedness isn't about fear. It's about peace of mind, knowing that whatever happens, your people have what they need to get through.

Ready for the way Aotearoa actually gets hit

What's inside

35

Practical emergency essentials, pre packed

Every item is carefully selected and packed into its own sealed bag so it stays dry and easy to find. Watch the walkthrough to see exactly what comes in a Disaster Shield pack.

The team behind your pack

Made by the people who prepare whole communities.

Crisis Bunker isn't a box filler. We build emergency resilience for marae, iwi, schools and councils across Aotearoa, from full Resilience Hubs to welfare systems, supported by Civil Defence. Your household pack is built to the same standard.

Worthy backpack to have

This is the best backpack I have purchased. It has everything my family and I need for a natural disaster event.

Had it ready last weekend

Love how everything was packed in its own zip bag to keep it dry. It was good having it at the ready with the flooding. Didn't need it, but glad it was there.

Peace of mind, living rural

Living rural with rough access, it's reassuring to know if disaster ever strikes we'll be OK for at least three days. You can't put a price on peace of mind.
