Survival in a bag: Packing it right

Disaster preparedness should never be taken for granted.
Catastrophes occur when people least expect them to happen.
Everyone should be ready for this. A big part of disaster
preparedness is the survival kit, which comprises of a bag with all
the essential items in it.

Below are some of the things that need to be included in a survival
bag.
Important documents in a waterproof container: Copies of
passports, birth certificates, IDs, insurance, and other essential
records should be kept in a waterproof container and stored neatly
in the bag. Along with this are papers that contain information of
emergency contacts.

No-spoil food: No-spoil food means canned food, biscuits, energy
bars, and at least two liters of water. The point here is that the
supply needs to last a week. First-aid kit: First-aid kits need to have
medicine (for stomachache and headache, and maintenance meds),
alcohol, band-aids, compresses (hot and cold), and baby wipes.
Toiletries such as soap and shampoo should also be a part of this.
Important devices: Under this category are the flashlight (with at
least two sets of batteries), small radio, mobile phone, and a power
bank.
Extra keys: Extra keys for the home and car should be in the bag if
people need to react quickly. Keys in the bag would spare a person
time looking for them.
Evacuation gear: Rain gear, clothes, blankets, and towels are all part
of this.
