How to Aid Fire Relief

Disaster could strike at any moment, leaving little to no time to shop or pack. Thus, it is important to be prepared. An important step in being Disaster Ready is building a Disaster Preparedness Stay Box or Go Bag.

​

In some disasters, it might be safer to stay home.

You may not have water to drink, to bathe, or to flush the toilet. You may not have electricity to keep your food cold, turn on a light or charge your phone.

​

Pack a Stay Box to prepare in case you cannot leave your house.

A Stay Box should include at least 3 days worth of supplies (food, water, batteries) that are usable without water or electricity. If you have young children or pets, be sure to include diapers, baby formula, and pet food. If you already own a flashlight or a portable radio, keep it somewhere easily accessible. It could also be beneficial to keep a flashdrive of any important documents.
