26 Jul 2026 by Laura Berman

Is Your Go-Bag Ready?

With wildfire season here, now is the perfect time to prepare a Go-Bag so you’re ready if you ever need to leave quickly. A little planning today can make a stressful situation much easier.

Include these essentials:

Medications and prescriptions
Important documents (IDs, insurance, passports, deeds, medical information)
Cell phone charger and backup battery
Cash and credit cards
Change of clothes and sturdy shoes
Toiletries and personal hygiene items
Flashlight and extra batteries
Water and non-perishable snacks
First aid kit
Keys (home, vehicle, storage)
Pet food, medications, and supplies (if applicable)
Sentimental photos or irreplaceable keepsakes (if time allows)

Keep your Go-Bag in an easy-to-reach location and review it every few months to update medications, documents, and seasonal clothing.

Wishing you and your family a safe wildfire season.
