Public Health Preparedness at the Nevada State Health Division recommends packing certain supplies in an easy-to-carry backpack or duffel bag - a "go bag" of items that you can grab if you have to leave your home in a hurry. A go bag is a portable version of the emergency supply kit that you keep on hand at home; some of these items should be included in both preparedness packs.

• Battery-operated radio and flashlight, with new batteries for each
• Contact and meeting place information for your household
• Cash (at least $50-$100 in small bills) and ATM cards
• Extra set of house and car keys
• Copies of important personal documents (insurance cards, birth certificates, marriage license and photo IDs) in a waterproof, portable container
• Bottled water and non-perishable food (granola and energy bars)
• First-aid kit
• Sturdy shoes, lightweight rain gear, hat and gloves
• Prescription medications (a week's supply)
• Personal hygiene supplies
• Child care supplies or other special care items
