This afternoon, the Pine Valley Preparedness Committee hosted a very informative meeting about "Bug Out Bags." There are many types of Bug Out Bags, but basically they are some kind of a backpack or other container that holds the essential items you would need to survive for at least 72 hours. There were three main presentations, one explaining the types of bags and what they might contain, another demonstrating Over the Counter Medical Essentials (this bag had been assembled based on suggestions from an earlier preparedness seminar.) The last showed an example of a bug out bag and all of the things it might contain. Many of the attendees added other ideas that helped us all plan for more complete bags of our own.
If you click on the Preparedness tab at the top of the page, you will find links to the information from all three of the presentations. As we discussed in the meeting, there are several reasons why we might need to evacuate from the valley, the main one being fire. Go Bags will help us be ready for such an emergency.
