Every 72-hour kit should include a flashlight AND batteries.
Do not keep the batteries in the flashlight while it is being stored.
Having head-lamp type flashlights are a great idea considering you may have your hands full in an emergency.
A flashlight in your car is also very important, as well has having one or two around the house in case of a power-outage. For Christmas we received a cool flashlight that charges in a power outlet. It's small and the kids love to use it when they want to search for something under the couch or something. And I love it because they aren't wasting batteries. I think I need to get more of these, at least one for each level of the house.
This is step 5 on the PLAN 9 pamphlet put together by the Southwest Utah Public Health Department.
