Wildfire go-bag contents

Checklists

• References describe a wildfire go-bag as the assembled set of items a household carries during evacuation, distinct from the larger household supply kit used for shelter-in-place events. The wildfire-specific bag emphasizes documentation, medication continuity, smoke-protective gear, and items that support short-term displacement to a hotel, shelter, or relative's home. References describe the bag as kept by the front door (or another exit point) during fire season, ready to load into the vehicle in seconds. Content is reviewed before each fire season, with perishable items (water, food, medications, batteries) rotated on their own schedules. The list below is drawn from Wikipedia's Survival kit article, FEMA Ready.gov wildfire materials, and the American Red Cross go-bag guidance.
