Absolutely agreed on this. I’m not much into subscription boxes, but this one sounds legitimately useful - particularly because keeping emergency kits up to date is one of their biggest pain points.
I would suggest it should just include refills of semi-perishables that are nearing their expiration date (with a reminder to consume the old ones) rather than an email reminder.

This is a good point. For instance, I’m very unlikely to experience flooding or lose power due to even the worst storm, but a significant earthquake where I live - rare but possible - would be absolutely devastating. As in, lucky to be alive at all after the first big tremor.
Additionally, what one has room to store and the challenges one would face in the case of a generic disaster probably differ somewhat between Manhattan vs the suburbs of Dallas.
