When emergencies happen, it is important to be prepared. Many people already have a bag prepared in the event of an emergency.
An emergency “go bag” is a portable kit that includes the items that you need to survive if you must leave your home following an earthquake.
Following the recent earthquakes in Turkey, sales of go-bags have soared along with flashlights and whistles.
