The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) encourages all Californians to prepare a go bag now so it’s ready when disasters and emergencies strike.
Taking a few steps now and talking with friends and loved ones will help reduce the stress caused by an emergency. One important step is creating a go bag. A go bag contains some of the essential items you may need if you have to evacuate in a hurry.
BUILD A GO-BAG
- Non-perishable food and bottled water
- Cash
- Cell phone charger
- Medications
- Important documents
- First aid kit
- Pet supplies
- Food/Water
- Collar/Leash
- Carrier
- Vaccine information
After building your go-bag, keep it in a place that’s easy to remember in case you need to evacuate your home quickly. Maintain your go-bag by replacing expired items and re-think your needs every year and update your kit as needed.
