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)
