Grab and Go Kit
Many people spend more than one-third of their time at work and/or in their vehicles. Keep a small, portable Grab & Go Kit near the front door. Take it with you in your car and at the workplace to get through the initial hours after a disaster or until it is safe to go home. Here are some suggested supplies:
- Flat, comfortable shoes
- Small first aid kit and manual
- Toilet tissue
- Fire extinguisher (A-B-C)
- Flashlight and batteries
- AM/FM radio and batteries
- Heavy gloves
- Cash and coins
- Warm, protective clothing
- Food and water
- Medication if required
- Blanket
- Whistle
- Flares (for the car)
- Small tool kit (for the car)
- Local maps (for the car)
