Read thisCONRED uses 72 hours as the name of the bag. We found no separate advice on a home reserve.

CONRED, the national disaster agency, asks each family member to have a '72-hour backpack'. It is a bag for evacuating, not a full home reserve.

“Prepara la mochila de 72 horas Prepara una mochila para cada integrante de la familia.”

Prepare the 72-hour backpack. Prepare a backpack for each member of the family.
