what if there is civil unrest in your area what if there is a brush fire what if there is a chemical spill a train derailment a flood there are many reasons you may have to evacuate or bug out from your home
many things can happen that force you from your home and you cannot depend on the safety of your home and you have to evacuate
what things should you pack to take with you if you have to evacuate from your home think about where you live and what the risks are to your family
I decided to pack an additional emergency evacuation bag for my family to include foods we can eat right out of the bag canned foods that are already prepared so we do not have to cook
I have my bug out bag sleeping bag tent
I have my portable potty
if I have to leave my home and take it all back but i want to meet and make sure I can meet basic needs of my family
while we are deciding what we're going to do next
so I took an old duffel bag and decided to make a grab-and-go
food storage kit and what I have in my emergency evacuation kit are canned foods
and peanut butter granola bars so if we
have to evacuate in an emergency I dont have to worry what we will eat
the next few days we can figure out more about our safety shelter and where
we're going to be and figure out how long we will have to be away in an evacuation situation
having simple foods allows you to figure out other things during times of emergency
I have on hand foods we can eat from the can
canned goods fruit vegetables soup chili ravioli
layer of cans of food in the emergency evacuation bag
make sure it is not too heavy to carry
be sure you can pick up the bag
add granola bars add toilet paper and napkins
everything in here you are hungry
you can just open any can and eat it you don't have to cook it it would be nice if you could cook but you don't need to
add granola bars and money
I have pack of forks spoons can opener and I have
napkins a an plastic utensils
with a can opener and try to make it simple yeah they're
whites spoons and black forks because you're always trying to find the one they want
they find what they want the rest do not get dropped on the ground
I have a list of hotels with phone numbers and addresses
I don't have a smartphone
I don't even know if cell phones would be working in an emergency evacuation situation listed
that hotel their address and their direct phone number
so in an emergency if I am in my car I can call
do you have a room do you know someone who has a room within
five miles from my home 10 miles from my home
and 100 miles from my home because I do not know
how far this emergency could spread it could be on my block it could be my city
have a plan so you know what you will do if you have an emergency evacuation from your home
make a list of camp grounds if all hotels are full
still find a campground
somewhere safe to stay
you need to be flexible figure out what you can do and
so that it would this is going right in the top
this can just stay even with my food storage
with your bug out bag emergency gear
prepare for the unexpected and then you don't need to worry what you will do in an emergency evacuation
