From wildfires to storms, here's how we can keep our families safe.
Summer used to mean long days outside. Not anymore.
Friend, millions of us are enduring dangerously high temperatures that keep us trapped indoors. Wildfire smoke has inundated communities, causing Detroit, Minneapolis, and Chicago to rank in the top five worst air quality in the world last week. Devastating flooding in Texas has claimed lives, collapsed bridges, and displaced families. More and more of us have to worry about evacuating our homes at a moment’s notice.1,2,3
Whether it's floods, wildfires, extreme heat, unhealthy air levels, or severe storms, emergencies can happen with little warning. While we work together to tackle the climate crisis and build more resilient communities, one of the most important things we can do today is to prepare ourselves, our friends, and our families in case of disaster.
A Go Bag is a pre-stocked bag equipped with essentials and ready to grab in case of an emergency. Taking the time to assemble one now can help you act quickly in an emergency when every minute counts. The guide also includes questions and guidance to help you plan ahead.
