EPIC Bug-Out Bag

In their first video collaboration with the Emergency Preparedness in the Community (EPIC) group, Mike and Walter discuss how residents can be better prepared for emergencies by planning ahead and having the right supplies on hand. They explain the three most common disaster scenarios in the Pacific Northwest: 1. Sheltering in Place – after a major earthquake where utilities are down but homes remain habitable. 2. Evacuation – due to immediate threats like wildfire or flooding, requiring quick departure. 3. Stranded Away from Home – being caught out on the road during an emergency, such as blocked highways in a storm. They each share personal stories—Walter fleeing a wildfire in Santa Rosa that destroyed his home, and Mike evacuating during a mudslide threat and choosing to shelter in place during another fire. The heart of the discussion focuses on being prepared, particularly with bug-out bags (for evacuating quickly) and bugin bags (for getting home or staying put in your car). Key Prep Tips Covered: • Have a go-bag ready with essentials: food, water, flashlight, medications, first aid, tools, radio, and documentation (e.g., ID, insurance). • Keep your car at least half full of gas. • Include copies of important documents, backup glasses, and extra clothing. • Don’t forget self-defense, fire-starting tools, and emergency shelter and space blanket. • Store at-home supplies to last at least 2 weeks per FEMA guidance. Mike showcases his gear, which includes a survival radio, headlamp, flint, saw, knives, emergency food, water filtration tools, and a full vehicle emergency kit. They close by encouraging viewers to do what they can to be ready, even if they can’t match Mike’s prep level: “Emergencies happen without warning. Be prepared.”
