Prepare in a Year 2024: In April Get Ready to Evacuate

You can prepare your household for emergencies in one year by taking a few small steps each month.

Join the Prepare in a Year 24 movement to get ready AND enter monthly drawings to win prizes.

The task for April is to prepare a go bag. This task involves gathering important items that you need to take with you when you have to leave quickly. But this is also a good time to prepare commuter and vehicle bags. A vehicle bag contains emergency supplies and stays in your vehicle. A commuter bag carries portable essentials and goes with you to school or to work.

Follow these steps:

  1. Make sure everyone in your home has a go bag for evacuation.

  2. Make sure everyone in your home carries a small pouch with essential items when going to school or commuting.

  3. Make sure your vehicles are equipped with emergency essentials.

That’s it! When you’re done, complete the submission form.

The prize for April is a solar-charged power bank.
