Be sure to include a map marked with at least 2 evacuation routes and any shelter-in-place spots that you’ve identified ahead of time. It's a good idea to pack local maps too as cell towers (and GPS) may be out of commission.

It's also a really good idea to have an extra set of car, house and RV keys, credit cards, cash or traveler’s checks in your Go Bag. 

Here is a list of some of the essential items to pack...

• Extra set of car, house, and RV keysMaps with evacuation routes and shelter-in-place spots marked
• Local maps (in case cell towers are down and GPS is not working)
• Credit cards, cash, and /or traveler's checks
• Flashlight and batteries
• Swiss army knife
• Whistle
• Compass
• Matches in waterproof container
• Hand-cranked radio (or battery-powered radio and extra batteries)
• Emergency blankets (the silvery kind)
• If you can, also pack sleeping bags, pads, tarps
