What is a “grab-and-go” kit?

A 72‑hour “grab-and-go” kit is filled with essential supplies to help you and your household manage for at least three days during an emergency, such as a power outage, severe weather event, or evacuation.

Having a go bag ready will help you take care of basic needs like food, water, and safety when you may not have access to services.
