Tāherea he pēke mō ngā rawa whakaora Pack a grab bag

A grab bag or getaway kit is important if you need to evacuate quickly. Unlike your emergency supplies, which are meant for staying in one place, a grab bag has the essentials you’ll need to take with you. 

Make sure each family member has their own bag, including provisions for pets. 🐕

What to pack

A grab bag should be light enough to carry but include the basics:  

👟 Walking shoes, warm clothes, raincoat and hat
🍱 Water and snack food (remember dietary requirements & babies)
📂 Copies of important documents and personal identification
💰 Cash  
💊 Medications and essential toiletries
🔦 Torch and portable phone charger
📝 Notebook and pen
📻 Radio (battery or wind-up)
⚠️ Emergency blanket

Store your grab bag in a place where you can easily grab it on your way out, such as by the door.
