A household supply cabinet and an evacuation bag solve different problems.
The go-bag is portable
A go-bag should be manageable by the person carrying it, with key documents, necessary medication, water, snacks, lights, communication and personal essentials. Keep it easy to grab and customize for children, pets or accessibility needs.
The home kit covers deeper needs
At home you can store greater water volume, cooking alternatives appropriate for the environment, additional layers, hygiene products and backups of frequently used devices. Make sure supplies do not block a safe evacuation route.
Make the family plan visible
Agree on a meeting place and an out-of-area contact. Print phone numbers, review evacuation guidance from local authorities, and check both kits twice a year.
