Getaway kit

In some emergencies, such as a flood or volcanic eruption, you will need to evacuate and take your Getaway Kit with you. Don't forget, you will also need to consider how you will care for your pets during an evacuation. Everyone in the house should have a Getaway Kit. This kit should include:

  • Essential items from your Emergency Survival Kit

Family documents

  • Birth and marriage certificates
  • Drivers licenses and passports
  • Financial information (insurance policies, mortgage information, etc)
  • Family photos

Personal items

  • Towels, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper and sanitary items
  • Hearing aids, glasses, mobility aids for elderly or vulnerable members of your house
