Welcome to The Go Bag Guide.

Preparing a go bag might seem like a little thing, but with just a few steps, you can ensure that you and your family have what you need in the event of an emergency or disaster.

True, none of us want to think that we will ever be in a position where we have to evacuate at a moment’s notice. Sadly, each year millions of people are displaced by things out of their control such as natural & man-made disasters, power outages, and more. Fortunately, many of these people were prepared with essential items and were able to leave the dangerous situation safely.

In this guide, we wanted to focus on preparation and simplicity. The most important thing to us is that you prepare now so that you are ready later.

Three Reasons to Have a Go Bag

1. Emergency Evacuation: In the event of a natural disaster (such as a wildfire, earthquake, or flood), civil unrest, or other emergencies that require you to leave your home immediately, a go bag ensures you have essential items ready to grab. This can save precious time when every minute counts.
2. Self-Sufficiency: A well-packed go bag allows you to be self-sufficient for at least 24–72 hours. It typically includes food, water, medications, first aid supplies, and other necessities, so you can manage until you reach a safe location or receive help.
3. Peace of Mind: Having a go bag prepared can provide peace of mind, knowing you’re ready for unexpected events. It reduces stress during emergencies, as you won’t have to scramble to find critical items in a panic.

Emergency preparedness will benefit your entire family
