Here’s what my Go Bag contains:

Maintenance medication
LED flashlight
Thumb drive
Small first aid kit
Swiss knife
IDs, Prayer Novenas
Cellphones and chargers
Rosary
Needle and thread
Whistle
Money and loose change
Small plastic flask or bottle with water
Ziplock plastic bags (to keep electronic gadgets from rain)
Light rope (think clothesline or tourniquet)
Handwritten numbers of cellphones of family members,
relatives and support groups (my cellphones may be down)

I’ll place them in a small bag or backpack beside me in bed, carry it in the car, when I commute, bring it to office, anywhere.

Palitan kaya natin ang name ng Go Bag, something like H.O.P.E. Bag (Help Other People in Emergency) para hindi masyadong calamity-oriented. We should be able to help others, that’s our direction, that’s the point of survival.

In addition:

We have directed our children to turn off their cellphones in extreme situations. Anyway, cellphone lines will be clogged. We have an appointed time, 3-4 a.m. and 3-4 p.m. They are to turn on their cellphones at these times so we can contact each other.

When able, they are to proceed to the nearest aid station (hospital, church or city hall) where they can help out and be safe. They are not to walk home, alone or with friends.

They should lead in 3 o’clock prayers for Divine Mercy, lead Rosaries, attend Masses.
