What is an emergency “grab bag”? When do we need it and how can we prepare one?



Hello, I'm Mohamed from Norwegian People's Aid - the Conflict Preparedness and Protection Program

Today we will talk about the emergency bag and its components that we will need in times of emergency and we will discuss the following:

First: What is an emergency bag?

When do we need it?

Where should it be placed?

How is it prepared?

To answer these questions, please watch the video to the end.

An emergency bag is a handbag or backpack that contains a number of essential items that you will need in an emergency that forces you to leave your home.

The emergency bag should be prepared and placed in an easily accessible location in your home, ready to be taken when necessary.

More than one emergency bag can be prepared to suit the number of family members.

How is it prepared?

The things to put in the bag vary according to your needs, but let’s review some of the things you should consider packing in yours:

Official papers such as passport, ID card and other certificates

Money and other valuables

You need to keep important contact numbers in your bag

High-calorie snacks like candy or energy bars, nuts, etc.

Plenty of water

Clothes, shoes and personal hygiene products,

Baby needs if there are, books and toys

In addition to a multi-useable tool, sewing kit, and rope

A first aid kit and some medicines such as analgesics and fever reducers or prescription medicines for chronic diseases.

You also need a flashlight, a charged mobile , power bank, batteries and a radio

Other needs may differ from person to person – make sure you think about all the items you and your family might need and pack them ahead of time.( this add I see the same as next line – I suggest To Remove it )

Take the time to prepare your emergency bag in advance so that when a crisis arises you are prepared. Don’t wait until the last minute because by then it’s already too late!
