Ready-To-Go Emergency Kits

Ready-To-Go Emergency Kits are for immediate emergencies that force you out of your house with no time to gather your necessities.

Keep all Ready-To-Go kit items in a backpack, duffle bag, or suitcase in an accessible place, such as a front-hall closet. Make sure your kit is easy to carry and everyone in the house knows where it is. Take it with you to leave your house so you can be safe.
