Piece counts shown for the kits range from about 63 to 72 pieces, depending on the specific kit and included extras.

Backpack-style kits commonly include extras such as water and emergency food, a whistle, light sticks, a flashlight with batteries, a rain poncho, an emergency blanket, hand warmers, additional masks and cotton gloves, and hand sanitizer packets.

Rescue-style kits use bright red designs with a white cross and visible text (for example, 'GUARD'), and some backpacks include glow-in-the-dark tags to make the kit easier to locate.

Kits typically have multiple compartments and pockets, water-resistant zippers, and adjustable straps or waist belts to keep supplies organized and allow for hands-free carrying.
