EMERGENCY
SUPPLY KIT
Put together your Emergency Supply Kit—also called a “go bag”—
before a wildfire or other disaster occurs and keep it easily accessible
so you can take it with you when you evacuate. Backpacks work great
for storing these items (except food and water) and are quick to grab.
Storing food and water in a tub or chest on wheels will make it easier
to transport. Keep it light enough to be able to lift it into your car.

O Face masks or coverings
