Earthquake emergency kit: what you should have

Why should the go-bag be ready?

In an earthquake, it may be necessary to evacuate quickly.

Having an organised go-bag near the exit reduces reaction time.

What to include?

Resistant and waterproof backpack

Ideally 40L, with roll-top closure and water resistance.

Water and filter

To ensure supply even away from home.

Flashlight and radio

Essential in case of power failure.

First aid

Basic material for minor injuries.

Thermal blanket and whistle

Protection against cold and means of signalling.

Where to store it?

Near the exit door or in an easily accessible place.
