Natural disasters such as hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, mudslides, wildfires, and even volcano eruptions can happen almost anywhere. If a natural disaster is looming and evacuation becomes possible, everyhousehold should have an emergency "go bag" ready for each family member. Even if you hope to ride out the danger with a store of supplies, packing an easy-to-carry bag with essentials will prove helpful in the aftermath.
While protecting your home and business from disaster is important, protecting human lives is absolutely crucial. Taking even a few minutes to look for medications or documents can cost a life. Check bag every six months to rotate food and water supplies, refresh medications, update documents, and, especially for children, make sure clothing still fits.
