At least 5 days (earthquake guide)

National, with limits

days

Read thisThis is one earthquake guide, and the kit is a bag you can pick up and carry. Its checklist ties the 5 days to food, and it gives no water quantity. UNGRD's family plan form, linked from the 2026 national drill, gives no duration for people.

UNGRD, the national disaster agency, says to prepare the kit with a reserve for at least 5 days in its 2024 earthquake guide. Bogotá's own advice is at least 72 hours.

“Recuerde preparar el kit pensando en una reserva para al menos 5 días.”

Remember to prepare the kit with a reserve for at least 5 days in mind.
