Self Reliance: How to Make a Go-Bag




Aaron Titus is a disaster industry technologist and emergency preparation expert. Here, he shares with us how to build a “go-bag” so that you have the basic necessities on hand during any type of disaster.

Some disasters, natural or man-made, can require you to evacuate. Examples include a flood, civil unrest, a chemical spill, or a house fire. It often takes days or more before you can return. Even when evacuation is not required, many disasters knock out basic services like power, water, and communications for several days.

A go-bag or 72-hour kit helps you meet basic needs immediately after a disaster. A go-bag or 72-hour kit must be tailored to each family and updated as your family situation changes.
