When you need to leave home during an emergency things can be very rushed making it so important to have a bag ready to go.

Anita deDreu from the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George joined us to talk more about what kinds of items should be in your go bag and where you should keep it.

A grab-and-go bag is a small emergency kit that’s easy to take with you, in case you need to leave right away. It’s a good idea to make grab-and-go bags for your home, workplace and vehicle.

Include:

Food (ready to eat) and water
Phone charger and battery bank
Small battery-powered or hand-crank radio
Battery-powered or hand-crank flashlight
Extra batteries
Small first-aid kit and personal medications
Personal toiletries and items, such as an extra pair of glasses or contact lenses
Copy of your emergency plan
Copies of important documents, such as insurance papers and identification
Cash in small bills
Local map with your family meeting place identified
Seasonal clothing and an emergency blanket
Pen and notepad
