MOE - compliant classroom survival backpacks - ensuring schools are prepared to protect students and staff after a natural disaster

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.

FAQs

What kind of disasters can your backpacks be used for?

Our School Disaster Relief Backpacks are designed to support classrooms in a wide range of emergencies, aligning with Civil Defence and Ministry of Education guidelines for disaster preparedness. These backpacks are equipped to assist after earthquakes, floods, severe storms, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and even extended lockdown situations. Each pack contains essential survival resources, including first aid supplies, food rations, water purification, emergency lighting, communication tools, and hygiene essentials to ensure students and teachers can remain safe and comfortable while awaiting further assistance. Whether sheltering in place or evacuating, these backpacks provide practical, easy-to-carry solutions that help schools respond effectively in high-stress situations.

How much do the backpacks weigh?

Approximate weight: 9.1kg

How long will the backpack last?

We have filled the backpacks with components that have a shelf life of a minimum 5 years if stored in a cool and dry environment. We offer a replenishment service where we will replace any expiring items with brand new items for a nominal fee. We will contact you prior to your 5 year purchase anniversary to discuss. If you need to replace anything sooner please contact us via email or livechat.

What else will I need to add to my kit?

Every school has unique needs, so while our School Disaster Relief Backpack covers the essentials, you may need to add specific items.

ECE centres should include nappies, formula, bottles, and necessary medications.
Schools may want to store allergen-safe foods and extra bottled water.
For medical or food refrigeration needs, a backup power generator may be required (available through Crisis Bunker).

We also offer empty Crisis Bunker backpacks for storing additional supplies. Your school's emergency management plan will outline specific requirements—download a template and guide at the bottom of this page.

Crisis Bunker is owned and operated by Kiwi's located at 8 / 38 Ashley Place, Papamoa, Bay of Plenty, NZ.
