A go bag is essential for emergency preparedness, providing quick access to vital supplies during a crisis. It should include items like water, non-perishable food, first-aid kits, medications, and essential documents. Having a well-stocked go bag ensures that you can evacuate quickly and survive for 72 hours in the event of natural disasters, power outages, or other emergencies. Preparedness can make the difference between safety and hardship, making a go bag a key component of every household’s emergency plan.
This is really great starter guide. You will want to make this your own. Snacks you enjoy, maybe a deck of cards or some other small game to help pass the time. Make sure that you have all your medication and important documents and ensure that the pack you choose is comfortable to you, and not just something that looks super cool.
