Survival Backpacks built for Schools
Schools and early childhood centres have a responsibility to keep students and staff safe during emergencies, yet sourcing, storing, and managing emergency supplies can be complex and time-consuming. That’s why we’ve created the School Disaster Relief Backpack—a ready-to-go, MOE-compliant survival kit designed to support up to 25 students and one teacher in the event of a natural disaster.
Each durable, waterproof backpack contains the essential resources needed to sustain a classroom, including first aid supplies, food, water purification, lighting, communication tools, hygiene essentials, and emergency shelter materials. Whether your school needs to shelter in place or evacuate, the School Disaster Relief Backpack ensures you have everything required for a coordinated and effective emergency response.
Suitable for Early Childhood Centres, Primary, Intermediate, Secondary Schools, and Tertiary Institutions.

Knowing we have our backpack has given us both peace of mind that we can take care of ourselves for at least 72 hours in an emergency. Thank you, Crisis Bunker.
A great idea to have ready a 'Go Bag' Ready for any disaster. NZ made. Has everything essential for 2 people. Love it.
We already have an emergency stash but have 'forgotten' to replenish, or review it over the years. Have combined it with the Crisis BUnker bag and feel ready for any emergency ! Thank you
I am very pleased and feel happier that I have something at the ready "in case"
Radio /torch/ charger is great and the multi tool looks super handy
Great purchase.
Really good quality pack with contents very glad I got 4 persons
Absolutely amazing what is available in the backpack. Its a good feeling when you are prepared just in case of an emergency.
Very happy with this purchase which we'll use to store additional supplies - clothes, footwear, food, etc.
So happy I decided to purchase this. Plenty of room for other bits and pieces.
Highly recommend this for that you never know scenario.
Really please with my purchase, a great starting point for our grab bags.
