A go bag is not about preparing for a movie-style disaster. It is about being able to leave home quickly when authorities or circumstances tell you it is time to go. Start with identification and important information, medications and personal necessities, water, ready-to-eat food, light, communication, basic first aid, sanitation supplies, clothing appropriate to the season, and chargers or backup power. Customize each bag. A child's needs are different from an adult's. A pet or service animal may need food, water, identification, medication, leash or harness, and other familiar supplies. Keep the bag accessible and review it periodically. Replace expired items and update documents and contact information. The best go bag is one you can actually carry and one that reflects your real household.
