To-Go Bag

Wildfires, wind storms, floods and other surprises! What could possibly go wrong! Check your To-Go Bag so you will be ready! We might have an emergency evacuation during a disaster, and every person needs to take a few things along. Keep a back­pack or small suitcase ready to go:

✓ Change of clothing (including a warm jacket)

✓ Current medication

✓ Light-weight blanket

✓ Flashlight

✓ Copies of important papers: photo ID, Social Security card, insurance card, Vial for Life, Medical Power of Attorney, and Will, phone numbers (including out-of-state contact).

✓ Paper and pencil

✓ Cash in small bills.

It's a good idea to take an interesting paperback book to read, also. Update your To-Go Bag periodically so it's ready when you need it.
