Go Bags
In case of emergencies, residents should be ready to move and pack important necessary items in a Go Bag.
The Go bag should be a sturdy "easy-to-carry" container such as a backpack or easily transportable suitcase.
The go bag includes:
Copies of your important documents in a waterproof and portable container (insurance cards, photo IDs, proof of address, etc.)
Extra set of car and house keys
Credit and ATM cards and cash, especially in small denominations. We recommend you keep at least $50-$100 on hand.
Bottled water and non-perishable food such as energy or granola bars
Flashlight
Battery-operated AM/FM radio and extra batteries
Keep a list of the medications each member of your household takes, why they take them, and their dosages. Medication information and other essential personal items. If you store extra medication in your Go Bag, be sure to refill it before it expires.
Contact and meeting place information for your household, and a small regional map
First-Aid Kit
Child care supplies or other special care items
