Get Your Emergency Go Bag Ready
September 12, 2019
Evacuation warnings from the Emergency Alert System (EAS) can happen suddenly, without much warning. Prevent extreme panic by packing your evacuation “go bag” ahead of the disaster. Your go bag should contain items your family and pets may need during or after an emergency. It’s important that every family member knows where the go bag is kept. Here are the top go bag essentials:
Documents:
Insurance Policies & Identification
First Aid Supplies:
Bandages
Gauze
Cold pack
Antibacterial cream
Aspirin
Prescriptions
Wet wipes/soap
Hand sanitizer
Food & Water:
Water- 1 gallon per person per day for 3-7 days
Food- non-perishable and canned food supply for 3-7 days
Electrolyte-based drinks
Dog & Cat Food
Supplies:
Cell phone power bank & extra phone charger
Download useful apps like FEMA and Weather Underground
Flashlight & batteries
Can opener
Pet supplies
Sleeping bags
Battery-powered radio
Cash to cover emergency purchases
Whistle to signal for help
Matches
It’s important to have enough supplies to last each person four days. We hope this helps you get your emergency bag ready.
