What to put in your "go bag" for a fire or other emergency evacuation

Story by Matthew Rodriguez, January 7, 2025

What is a go bag?

"An emergency supply kit or go bag is typically a backpack filled with the essentials and personal documents. Cal Fire recommends everyone have their kit ready before a wildfire or disaster to ensure a quick evacuation and contain everything someone would need for an extended stay away from their home.

Go bags should contain the following:

- A 3-day supply of non-perishable food & 3 gallons of water per person
- A map with at least 2 evacuation routes
- Necessary prescriptions or medications
- A change of clothes & extra eyeglasses/contact lenses
- Extra car keys, credit cards, cash, or traveler's checks
- A first aid kit & sanitation supplies
- A flashlight & battery-powered radio with extra batteries

Also, ensure the pack contains any copies of important documents, including birth certificates, passports, IDs, etc."

Aging Alone Together, recognizes denial is common, as evidenced by Kromrey's story. Prepping important documents and sharing access with trusted individuals is another crucial aspect it emphasizes. #EmergencyPlanning #SeniorCare #Family

We’re still finding dead neighbors in North Carolina. We need help | Morgan L Sykes https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/08/hurricane-helene-death-toll-government-response #Emergencyplanning #Naturaldisasters #HurricaneHelene #NorthCarolina #Hurricanes #USweather #JoeBiden #USnews

Given the unfolding experiences of the #Jasper #AB #wildfire #evacuees--where they are just the most recent of many displaced people seeking urgent help and resources are insufficient--I strongly suspect we need to massively expand #EmergencyPlanning and #EmergencyResources for the present and 'new normal' of the foreseeable future.

We have a LOT to do.

Are those who are responsible for #EmergencyPlanning and #EvacuationOrders taking these issues into consideration? Do offline (print) materials exist? Multi-lingual translation of emergency information?

And this is not even to mention another group of folks that might be local or visiting: #ActuallyDisabled people. Are basic #accessibility features such as ramps available in evacuation centres? Emergency Rx or medical equipment support?

11. Do tourists know about or have access to apps such as the AEA, Alberta Emergency Alert App?

After the AEA stopped pushing updates about the #Jasper #AB #EvacuationOrder, people were directed to Jasper's #Facebook page.

I'm Albertan and have not used FB. Is it reasonable that during an emergency, evacuees need to make accounts and navigate unfamiliar, general-purpose apps just to find out how to stay alive?

10. International tourists might also have no familiarity with the local or larger geography of not only #Jasper #AB, but also #BC.

Will they have access to reliable, functional maps during the #emergency? Will their mapping software work if they hit an area with low or damaged cellphone infrastructure?

A few of things about the current emergency (as of June 24, 2024) in #Jasper, #Alberta:

Note: I am in #Edmonton, ~5 hours west, 'watching' at a distance.

1. On the surface, the Jasper #evacuation could seem similar to that of #FortMcMurray #ymm eight years ago (2016). Some similarities include limited highway options for egress and the entire population needing to leave at the same time.

Great idea

#EmergencyPlanning

Today has been all about #GIS and its intersection with #hazardmitigation and #disaster #preparedness. I firmly believe that we need to resist the urge to be "all maps and no substance," but I'm just as firm in my belief that there are few better ways than a well-designed map to support a narrative discussion.

Think about the ways a map can tell your risk story differently than text or photos.

Who doesn't love looking for gold amongst the data!

Looking at the drop in sign-ups for alerts/warnings from the National #preparedness Survey. In my community, "emergency" alerts are overused for general announcements. Do we cry wolf out of convenience?
