September is National Preparedness Month, but emergencies can strike anywhere and anytime. It is important to prepare emergency supply kits for your home, work, and vehicles. 

Prepare and pack your go bag or emergency kit in a backpack, storage bin, or duffel bag, and remember to always keep your go bag accessible and easily transportable for anyone in the household.   

Items to pack include medicine, non-perishable food, batteries, a flashlight, and sanitary and hygienic supplies. Visit ReadyOC.org to access an emergency supply kit checklist or to order one pre-packed.
