How to Pack a Go-Bag for Emergencies
A go-bag is essentially a backpack or bag containing essential items you’ll need in case of an evacuation, especially during emergencies like the LA fires. To prepare one, focus on including only the most basic survival necessities:
- Food and water: Pack a three-day supply of non-perishable food and three gallons of water per person.
- Personal belongings:
Include three days’ worth of clothing, sturdy shoes, a small toiletry
kit, sanitary pads or tampons, and a blanket or sleeping bag. - Important documents: Keep copies of IDs, passports, and other critical documents, along with some cash.
- Emergency supplies: Add items like flashlights, extra batteries, and a whistle.
