What Should Be in an Earthquake Bag

Let's take a look at how to prepare an Earthquake Bag, one of the items that will seriously ease your and your family's lives during an earthquake, and perhaps even save your life, or rather, what should be inside it.

Tent

In cases where you cannot enter your house after an earthquake, setting up a tent in a place far from the houses and safe will truly be a lifesaving item for you. Especially if you do not have a car, it is very important for your temporary stay.

Blanket

If you have to leave the house without even getting your coat during winter, you will need something to keep you warm outside, and one of the best, light, and handy items for this is, of course, a blanket.

Clothes

There is no harm in putting spare clothes in your bag in case something happens to what you are wearing when you go outside.

Water

Regardless of hot or cold weather, it is beneficial to have plenty of water, one of the basic necessities for humans and life, in your earthquake bag.

Medicine

You should have as many spare of the medicines you take regularly and painkillers as possible in your bag, in case you cannot access your medicines, so you can take them easily and comfortably from your bag.

Fire

A lighter or matches, but my advice is to definitely have matches, as it is one of the essential items in your earthquake bag. You should always have an item for burning things in your bag to cook food or to burn something for warmth in the cold.

Whistle

Another item that should be in your bag is a whistle or something that can make quite a loud sound, so you can make your voice heard to other people if you are under debris or far from others.

Valuable Documents

You should definitely have photocopies of your valuable belongings such as title deed, insurance, and ID in your bag. In case you cannot access the originals, you can use these.

Do not forget to also keep items in your bag that will be very useful to you such as a raincoat, wet wipes, multi-purpose knife, flashlight, batteries, toilet paper, money, first aid kit, and shoes.
