Disasters are difficult to predict and can come at any time. Preparing important items in one bag does not mean hoping that disaster will come. The contents of this bag are intended to facilitate you and your family in an emergency situation.
When disaster strikes, the most important thing is to save lives. Of course, it is difficult to package things first when they have to evacuate immediately. This is the reason why disaster prepared bags need to be prepared, so that essential items needed for survival can be carried. Not only for yourself, you can prepare disaster prepared bags for all family members.
Fill the Disaster Prepared Bag
Place all items that need to be carried in a waterproof bag, which is stored in a place that is easily accessible and known to all family members. It's also a good idea to wrap each item in a sealed plastic bag. Bring several items together in one container. Apart from at home, you can also provide disaster prepared bags or boxes at work and private vehicles.
In general, there is a list of items that can be a guide. But the type of items you need to prepare can depend on your personal needs and the type of disaster and risk that you might face.
