Are You Ready to GO if you ever need to?

Emergencies can happen with little warning. A prepared go bag can make it easier to leave quickly and safely during a wildfire, evacuation, power outage, or other emergency.

Go bags are simple and inexpensive to create!

Keep your bag somewhere easy to reach, and check it every six months to replace expired items and update medications, clothing, or important information.

You don’t have to build the perfect bag in one day, just start with what you have. A little preparation now can make a big difference when every minute counts.
