California officials recommend keeping an emergency supply kit ready in case of flooding, wildfire, earthquake or another disaster.Cal Fire recommends that you store the kit of essentials in a backpack and also have a three-day supply of food and water ready to go in a tub or chest on wheels. Don't forget baby formula if you need it, and food and water for your pet. In case of an evacuation at night, it's also good to have a pair of shoes and a flashlight near your bed. Cal Fire official Daniel Berlant has said that along with the essentials, it's important not to forget important documents and other personal items, especially if you have to evacuate from your home. "Even in my own house, all my important documents are in one location," he said during a past Facebook Live chat with KCRA 3. "A go-bag doesn't necessarily just mean things that you might need like clothes or phone chargers. But they're the valuable items. The memorabilia. The photographs that are irreplaceable. Birth certificates, legal documents, all of that really should be in one location in your home."The Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends that you keep canned food needed for your kit in a cool, dry place and store boxed food in tightly closed containers. Consider updating your kit each year. You should also consider keeping versions of your emergency supply kit in different locations like home, workplace and car since you’ll never know when an emergency will happen. | MORE | Emergency, disaster preparedness assistance available in six languagesFor an at-work kit that would keep you prepared in case you needed to shelter in place for 24 hours, FEMA says to consider food, water, medicine and comfortable walking shoes stored in a "grab and go" case.
