Disaster response, community prepping, mutual aid... everything that can help to weather the ongoing and coming disasters.

What can you and your community do to prepare itself and how can we help others that are less fortunate, especially also climate refugees.

Together we can make it!

A radio? A knife? A lighter? A flashlight? How do the contents of your go-bag help you when your local disasters happen?

FRS radio that has a flashlight and can tune to weather alerts and battery bank, water filter (kids have life straw filters, I have a katadyn), pocket tool, 72 hours of meds and food, 1 liter water, first aid kit (mine has advanced airway equipment, my wife has a stop the bleed kit), copies of birth certificates and other important docs, BIC lighter, change of socks and underwear, some hard candies, a gallon ziplock of dog food each for the furry family members, $100 in cash made up of $1 bills and quarters.

We live in an area prone to wildfires. So we try to keep ready to go at any time. We cycle through the food twice a year to keep it fresh and will put in season appropriate clothes depending on the time of year. We have some small activity booklets and similar things to entertain the younger ones.
