Upon researching, I found these helpful government resources for places prone to wildfires or earthquakes: https://www.ready.gov/kit https://readyforwildfire.org/prepare-for-wildfire/emergency-supply-kit/ https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/survival-kit-supplies.html

The items that came up across the three:

• Water and non-perishable food (for humans and for pets)
• Flashlight and radio (hand cranked or battery powered with extra batteries)
• First aid kit, hygiene, and sanitation supplies
• Prescription meds
• Local maps
• A change of clothes and some blankets
• Some cash
• Copies of important documents (birth certificate, licenses, passports)
• Cell phone chargers

FRS radio that has a flashlight and can tune to weather alerts and battery bank, water filter (kids have life straw filters, I have a katadyn), pocket tool, 72 hours of meds and food, 1 liter water, first aid kit (mine has advanced airway equipment, my wife has a stop the bleed kit), copies of birth certificates and other important docs, BIC lighter, change of socks and underwear, some hard candies, a gallon ziplock of dog food each for the furry family members, $100 in cash made up of $1 bills and quarters.

We live in an area prone to wildfires. So we try to keep ready to go at any time. We cycle through the food twice a year to keep it fresh and will put in season appropriate clothes depending on the time of year. We have some small activity booklets and similar things to entertain the younger ones.

Well, you are not going on a hiking trip 😅 Although good shoes are probably still not a bad idea.

I don’t have a go-bag right now per se, but I have a few items I would probably be able to pack quickly.

A fully charged USB power-bank for example and some basic first aid bag.
