Everyone should have emergency supplies stored in accessible locations at home, at work, and in vehicles. Having emergency supplies readily available can reduce the impact of an earthquake or other emergency on you and your family. Under-Bed Bags hold shoes, a flashlight, and other items for when an earthquake happens while sleeping. Go-Bags or car kits contain supplies for about 3 days for when evacuation is needed. And be sure to have home or work supplies are for sheltering in place for up to 2 weeks or for larger groups. You can find a list of what to include online.
