Province Recommends Grab-and-Go Kits for Evacuations
PreparedBC says the kit should hold three days to one week of food and 4 litres of water per person per day.
- PreparedBC urges residents to assemble grab-and-go evacuation kits with essential supplies, providing guidance to help households prepare for emergency alerts and orders.
- The initiative follows the 2025 wildfire season, when 2,670 people were evacuated across 30 communities; atmospheric rivers and floods have also triggered evacuation alerts.
- Kits should include "Food and water," a battery-powered radio, flashlight, and "Copies of important documents, such as insurance papers and identification," with non-perishable food lasting three days to one week.
- Storing supplies in one or two containers such as plastic bins in an accessible home area is recommended by PreparedBC, which also advises four litres of water per person daily for drinking and sanitation.
- Designed for easy portability, the grab-and-go kit enables households to depart quickly during evacuation alerts, reducing displacement harm and easing pressure on emergency responders during urgent emergencies.
