Get home bags, and other survival essentials can make all the difference when an emergency occurs. With the severity and frequency of natural disasters increasing in California and other areas throughout the Western United States, maintaining a plan and survival gear in preparation for any possible state of emergency is vital. While your current location and access to food, water, shelter, and medical equipment will determine the level of necessity, it is better to be over-prepared than caught unaware. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to keep yourself and your family safe in the event of an emergency.
Invest in Sturdy and Stocked Get Home Bags
Unless you are a doomsday prepper or an expert in survival skills, investing in well-stocked get home bags should be your first concern when preparing for emergencies. First, determine your budget and the number of people and pets who may need supplies should an emergency of any kind occur. Research the most functional, highest-quality duffle or hiking bags within your budget’s range and take note of the amount of space each offers. When shopping for supplies to fill your bags with, keep in mind the available capacity so you will not have to compromise on what you can carry.
Fulfill Every Essential Survival Category
Even if you have as many medical supplies and batteries as you might need in the event of an emergency, an emergency food bucket with enough food and water to last at least three days should also be readily available. Other essentials to be fulfilled, you can be separate by category:
We recommend extra supplies that may not technically be essential but can offer some aid or comfort. Playing cards, books, clothing, bedding, and other commodities that can fit into your get home bags can help pass the time more easily, especially for long-term emergencies.
Update Your Survival Kits and Get Home Bags Regularly
Ensuring that none of your emergency food or supplies are out of date and that anything you’ve used is replaced as soon as possible are two critical tasks that will keep your survival supplies well-stocked and ready for emergencies. Check for quality control every so often, and keep your bags otherwise updated at all times. Without the routine inspection of your stock, you run the risk of getting caught in a disaster without the supplies you thought had been secured.
