What Should You Have In Your Emergency Evacuation Survival Kit?

When an unexpected disaster strikes, everyone should be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice. You should have a plan of what to bring, what to do, and where to go in case of an emergency. You should also have emergency supplies ready to take with you. An emergency survival bag or a "Bug Out" bag as they are also known, includes basic supplies you can take with you.

What Is The Difference Between An Emergency Survival Kit And An Emergency First Aid Kit?

The difference between an emergency survival kit and an emergency first aid kit is that the emergency first aid kit specifically includes medical supplies to help you treat minor injuries. An emergency survival kit will include an emergency first aid kit and other recommended items like water, flashlights, and other non-medical survival items. These bags can help you survive during and after an emergency.

Why Is An Emergency Survival Kit Important?

Natural disasters in recent years are prime examples of why having a collection of supplies gathered together in a bag, is so important. Fires, floods, tornados, and earthquakes are just a few examples of natural disasters that could cause you to evacuate and rely on emergency supplies for a short period. Having an emergency first aid kit on hand could potentially be life-saving, minor injuries can quickly turn into something serious if left untreated.
