Keep one substantial kit at home plus smaller grab-and-go kits for the car or other places your family spends time. Check the kit periodically and replace expired food, medications, batteries and other supplies.

I'd actually maintain two kits:
FEMA also recommends considering smaller kits for vehicles and other places your family regularly spends time.
And don't overlook the plan: everyone should know where to meet, how to contact one another, who picks up children, and where the emergency kit is stored. A well-stocked kit is much more useful when paired with a family emergency plan.
If you tell me how many adults/children are in your family and whether you have pets, I can size the supplies (especially water and food) and give you a practical family-sized checklist.
An essential family emergency preparedness kit must sustain your household for **at least 3 days** (though a 2-week supply is ideal).

The foundational supplies include 1 gallon of water per person per day , a 3-day supply of non-perishable food , a battery-powered or hand-crank radio (like a NOAA Weather Radio), flashlights with extra batteries , and a comprehensive first-aid kit .

For a family, I’d build one main home kit plus smaller grab-and-go bags. FEMA/Ready.gov recommends having enough food, water, and supplies for at least several days; a good baseline is 1 gallon of water per person per day.
For pets, the CDC recommends preparing food, water, medications, records, identification, and transportation supplies; its current guidance recommends a two-week supply for each animal.
Keep a go-bag somewhere easy to grab containing documents, medications, water, snacks, flashlight, charger, clothing, hygiene items, cash, and basic first aid. Keep another small emergency kit in each vehicle. Ready.gov specifically recommends separate supplies for home, work, and vehicles.
If you're in an earthquake/wildfire-prone area, I'd also prioritize sturdy shoes, N95-quality masks, goggles, gloves, a fire extinguisher, and an easily accessible evacuation bag.
The official Ready.gov emergency preparedness resources are a good place to tailor the kit to your family's risks.
