One of the most important things you can do to help keep your home safe is to
create an emergency grab bag.
This is a collection of everyday items most of
which you will already have or can purchase from local supermarket that you and
your family may require during an emergency. Should you forced to evacuate your
premises, or should you be without normal utilities, this 'grab bag' will provide you
with the necessities.
Choose a sturdy, easy-to-carry bag or storage box for your 'grab bag'. The contents
may vary depending on your location, the number of houses or friends close by, the
type of emergency, the nature of your lifestyle, any children and/or pets you may
have.
- Portable radio with spare batteries.
- Torch with spare batteries
- Candles and waterproof matches.
- First aid kit
- Important documents or copies of important documents
- List of emergency contact numbers
- A copy of your Household Emergency Plan
- A waterproof bag for valuables and mementoes
- A good supply of required medication
- Any special requirements for babies and the disabled, infirm or elderly.
- Bottled water, food, manual can opener
- Basic provisions for pets if you have them.
- Spare set of practical clothes and strong shoes
- Toilet paper, plastic bags and other hygiene products
Your Grab Bag needs to be stored in a safe secure area close to your main
emergency exit, but in an area that is unlikely to be an initial fire start point.
