Michael Petruccelli
says; Prepare
a “Go Bag”
EVACUATION KIT... WHAT TO TAKE
If you are evacuating to a public
shelter
Pack your essentials, but pack light
as space is limited. It is possible you may only have a space that measures 5 feet
by 2 feet. Remember, a public shelter is not a cruise ship, it is a lifeboat
with the mission to save lives.
Suggested items for a “Go Bag”
• Medications and copies of
prescriptions
• Nonperishable food
• Special dietary food that is
nonperishable
• Several gallons of drinking water
to keep in your vehicle. A minimum of one gallon per person.
• Bedding for a small space
• Infant or child necessities
(wipes, diapers, bottles)
• Personal hygiene items
• Change of clothes
• Eyeglasses
• Quiet games, toys or reading
materials
• Important papers and valid ID
• Cash and a phone list
