The American Red Cross recommends that a tool for turning off gas and water be included in every disaster supply kit. During a tornado, earthquake, hurricane, severe storm, or other life-threatening disaster, it may be essential to perform tasks to save lives. Having a tool to assist in prying open jammed doors and digging through debris can help with saving a life quickly and efficiently. The 4-in-1 Emergency Tool is made from tough heat treated alloy and will not spark or rust.
