Go bag
In an emergency situation there’s often no time to hang about, so it’s important to have all the things that you might need in one place ready to go. This is called a ‘go bag’. It should be filled with essential items and stored somewhere you can easily find it.
Your ‘go bag’ should be small and easy to carry. At the very least, have an up to date check list for your ‘go bag’.
Here is what your ‘go bag’ should include:
- Passport if you have one
- Your personal emergency contact list
- First aid kit
- Battery operated radio with spare batteries or a wind up radio
- Mobile phone/charger
- Glasses/contact lenses
- Toiletries
- Bottled water
- Energy bars
- Coins/cash
- A torch and spare batteries or a wind up torch
- Change of clothes and sensible shoes
- A blanket
