"Salute to Service with a Pledge to Prepare"

As a registered guest of this year's BASH, you are invited to participate in our four-week Boot Camp Challenge. Once a week, we’ll announce a different safety drill to help you and your family prepare for emergencies.
Week 2: Make A Kit
Week 2: Make A Kit

Being prepared means being equipped with the proper supplies you may need in the event of an emergency or disaster. This weekend, we challenge you to complete 3 simple steps:

  • Learn about Emergency Preparedness and test your knowledge about what should be included in your emergency preparedness kit.
  • Review our A-Z Quick Guide and start gathering emergency supplies from around your home. You will be surprised at how much you already have!
  • Find an easy to carry container (plastic bag, bucket, backpack, or pillowcase) and store enough supplies for everyone in your household.
Two basic types of preparedness kits:
  • Personal Kit: Three days of supplies for one person. Keep a kit at home, in your car, and at work.
  • Mini-Kits: for your bedroom, office or car.

 

Also, keep a sturdy pair of shoes, a flashlight, and an extra pair of glasses (if you wear them) in a bag attached to the foot of your headboard. If an emergency strikes at night, you’ll be able to walk across debris and see where you’re going!

SHARE THE LOVE

Post a photo of you and your emergency preparedness kit  on social media and include #BASHBCC and #PrepareCalGC for a chance to win a prize from the CA Gold Country Region of the American Red Cross.

Winners and prizes will be announced during our virtual event on May 22nd!
