Preparing yourself and your family to be secure and stable in the event of a natural disaster, riot or war is paramount. In such a situation, having a handbag or carry-on, filled with the necessary credentials and supplies, could prove to be an invaluable resource in such a tumultuous time.
Documentations:
Having the proper documentation when traveling can be the difference maker if a family has to evacuate. Items such as important identification, including driver’s licenses, passports, and birth certificates, should be placed in a bag that is easy to transport. Having physical copies of immunization records, medical history and insurance policies, should also be considered, as these documents can prove to be helpful if medical attention is needed during an evacuation. Keeping these items in a fireproof and waterproof bag can help ensure that these documents do not get destroyed or lost.

This will allow you and your family to maintain a certain level of comfort if and when in transit. Personal items such as books, toys and clothing should also be included, as this can help ease any distress that could be seen during such a trying and uncertain situation.
