The posts going around with various "go bag" ideas have the right idea but I'd throw in this - when buying batteries to go with your torch (flashlight) get ones with a long shelf life. Lithium chemistry AAs can have a 20 year shelf life, and CR123s (different chemistry according to the internet) can go 10.

(on flashlights I'd recommend having at least a pair, one that takes a generally easy to come by cell size like AA, and a good high capacity rechargeable. I am very normal about flashlights)

A rough starting point to organize what to take if you have to evacuate.

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."

My Hospital Go Bag https://ap236.com/ZwoIOp #TeamRVH #Hospitals #GoBag #Prepardness #Barrie

@weatherwest this weekend. I spoke to a troop of scouts about fire safety and what it all means. Most of them were five years old when the fires came through so close. Thankfully the troop leaders that did lose their homes were not present. Might have been a bit triggering. #StaySafe #GoBag #FireSeason #2017TubbsSurvivor

Hey #Seattle #PNW you got your devices all charged up?

#WAWX looks to be a little crazy tonight with lightning and wind.

"My God. Looks like Oklahoma." are not words I'm very comfortable hearing from a local weather guy.

Anyway. What's your top 3 items you double check when there's a big storm headed your way?

Ainda sobre o lance da mochila de desastres: embora eu ainda não tenha atualizado o plano, a pós em gestão de crises tem que servir pra alguma coisa, e aproveitei a promoção do AliExpress do finde passado pra pedir alguns itens que sei que vão ter lugar nas mochilas minha e da família.

Eles já começaram a chegar, e neste momento estou carregando 2 lanternas (daquelas com correia, pra usar na cabeça) e 2 carregadores USB de 10.000mAh (nominais) com 3 tipos de conectores incorporados.

Eu mandei no mês passado pra galera das enchentes do RS as coisas da minha mochila de desastres, agora já comecei a planejar a nova versão dela
