Emergency Preparedness in
The Form of a Bug Out Bag!
It is absolutely a must to have a simple emergency preparedness plan as we never know when an emergency or survival situation may arise.
One of the simplest ways to do that is to have a Bug Out Bag for each person.
Prepare one Go-bag for each family member and make sure each has an I.D. tag.
There are some Bug Out Bag Essentials you will want to add, regardless what your circumstances are, and then the list below will also give you an idea of what goes into each bag.
You may not be at home when an emergency strikes so keep some additional supplies in your car and at work, considering what you would need for your immediate safety.
PSSST...Make sure to click on the bag above,yup, the one with the shoes sitting next to it...where you can get MORE detailed info on how to put together a bug out bag. :)
The bug out bag list listed below is for a longer period of time but you can also buy or make 72 hour kits as well.
