Summary
"Prepping your emergency go bag doesn’t have to be expensive or overwhelming. Start by packing essentials like water, food, a multi-tool, and first-aid supplies. Reuse items, break tasks into smaller steps, and prioritize based on what you’ll need most in an emergency, such as limited water and food supplies. Don’t forget basic documents and a sturdy bag for easy transport. After packing, refresh your kit annually by swapping expired items and restocking supplies. End with a simple yet effective plan that includes evacuation routes, meeting points, and key contacts—just remember, preparation is key!"
