Everyone in LA County <\/strong>(and everyone in general really) should have a Go Bag ready already<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been giving workshops on Prep\/Go Bags for various scenarios in different regions for years and will do an extensive series on this after we emerge from this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, here is a list of the most slimmed down version, the very very BASICS<\/strong> for the LA fires right now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all of these please keep in mind specifics for the elderly, injured, disabled folks, pregnant people, children\/babies, and animals<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Identification cards and legal certificates<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Phone, chargers, backup battery pack<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Backup your devices on the cloud or portable drive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Keys (car, house, etc. even if everything may be destroyed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Medications, prescriptions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Wallet, cash, and credit cards<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Simple food\/water for 3 days. Many places in the area are providing food and meal support so if you can get to one of these locations, even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a>Strong closed-toe shoes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> 3 days of clothing in layers (includes socks, underwear, sleeping outfit, hat)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> BASIC toiletries, do not over pack here (toothbrush\/paste, soap, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> If you wear and have, an extra pair of glasses. Glasses over contacts if you are able.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> PPE (quality masks, sanitizer, goggles, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> First Aid Kit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Pens and paper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Physical maps with your route mapped out in different paths<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Flashlight with batteries (phone flash is good too)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Menstruation supplies (whether you menstruate or not)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203b<\/a> Videos\/Photos of your home for insurance or posterity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a pared-down version for LA right now<\/strong>. Not everyone will be able to grab or will have everything. That\u2019s okay. Just bring what you can<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will make a comprehensive series when we emerge together. Protection to all<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
