DoomsdaysCW<p>What to put in your "go bag" for a fire or other emergency evacuation</p><p>Story by Matthew Rodriguez, January 7, 2025</p><p>What is a go bag?</p><p>"An emergency supply kit or go bag is typically a backpack filled with the essentials and personal documents. Cal Fire recommends everyone have their kit ready before a wildfire or disaster to ensure a quick evacuation and contain everything someone would need for an extended stay away from their home. </p><p>Go bags should contain the following: </p><p> - A 3-day supply of non-perishable food &amp; 3 gallons of water per person<br> - A map with at least 2 evacuation routes<br> - Necessary prescriptions or medications<br> - A change of clothes &amp; extra eyeglasses/contact lenses<br> - Extra car keys, credit cards, cash, or traveler's checks<br> - A first aid kit &amp; sanitation supplies<br> - A flashlight &amp; battery-powered radio with extra batteries</p><p>Also, ensure the pack contains any copies of important documents, including birth certificates, passports, IDs, etc."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/what-to-put-in-your-go-bag-in-case-of-a-fire-or-emergency/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/wh</span><span class="invisible">at-to-put-in-your-go-bag-in-case-of-a-fire-or-emergency/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoBag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoBag</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Emergencies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emergencies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Evacuation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Evacuation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wildfires</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCatastrophe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCatastrophe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EmergencyPlanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmergencyPlanning</span></a></p>

Likely Jan Lukas<p>Are those who are responsible for <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/EmergencyPlanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmergencyPlanning</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/EvacuationOrders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EvacuationOrders</span></a> taking these issues into consideration? Do offline (print) materials exist? Multi-lingual translation of emergency information?</p><p>And this is not even to mention another group of folks that might be local or visiting: <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ActuallyDisabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyDisabled</span></a> people. Are basic <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> features such as ramps available in evacuation centres?

Likely Jan Lukas<p>11. Do tourists know about or have access to apps such as the AEA, Alberta Emergency Alert App?</p><p>After the AEA stopped pushing updates about the <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Jasper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jasper</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/AB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AB</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/EvacuationOrder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EvacuationOrder</span></a>, people were directed to Jasper's <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Facebook</span></a> page.</p><p>I'm Albertan and have not used FB. Is it reasonable that during an emergency, evacuees need to make accounts and navigate unfamiliar, general-purpose apps just to find out how to stay alive?</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/EmergencyPlanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmergencyPlanning</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/apps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apps</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ABfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ABfire</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BCfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BCfire</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/apps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apps</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>safety</span></a></p><p>8/x</p>

Likely Jan Lukas<p>A few of things about the current emergency (as of June 24, 2024) in <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Jasper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jasper</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Alberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alberta</span></a>:</p><p>Note: I am in <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Edmonton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edmonton</span></a>, ~5 hours west, 'watching' at a distance. </p><p>1. On the surface, the Jasper <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/evacuation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evacuation</span></a> could seem similar to that of <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FortMcMurray" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FortMcMurray</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ymm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ymm</span></a> eight years ago (2016). Some similarities include limited highway options for egress and the entire population needing to leave at the same time.</p><p>1/x</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ABfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ABfire</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildfires</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/EvacuationOrder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EvacuationOrder</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/EmergencyPlanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmergencyPlanning</span></a></p>
