Transport your items in a
Duffel bag or a Back Pack
(a Back Pack is probably the best
because your hands are free
to do other things or
hold the hands of children while evacuating)
- Keep the Emergency Pack in a place, where it is easy to grab and go.
- Keep it near the front door.
- Keep one in your car.

- A compass is useful
- It would be good to learn about True north and Magnetic north, the compass needle will point to magnetic north, and depending where you live the compass would have to be adjusted by a certain number of degrees to give you a true north reading.
- If you right or left handed and think you are walking in a straight line, you usually will go start to turn slowly turn right if you are right handed and left if left handed, which will leave you off course or walking in circles.
- Solution pick a land mark that can be seen from a distance Example a large tree, hill etc. and walk toward it.
- GPS - This is good for major roads, don't depend on it for use off major roads.
- Signaling Mirror
- Great for signaling boats or planes

- A signalling mirror is safest made of metal and a hole in the middle to aim the mirror at the person being signaled.
