RMWB Evacuation Kit

Residents who are on evacuation watch are advised to put together an evacuation kit -- a sturdy, lightweight, waterproof and portable pack (like a backpack) containing:
• Copies of credit and debit cards and cash.
• Medication. Pack any prescription and over-the-counter medications you may need in addition to a list of your medications and copies of your prescription slips. Check expiration dates on medication regularly.
• Contact lists — including designated out-of-city and out-of-province contacts.
• Comfortable shoes to walk long distances if necessary.
• Extra keys. Have extra house and car keys in your evacuation kit.
• Toiletry kit: hand sanitizer, toothpaste, tooth brushes, a change of contact lenses and solution, feminine hygiene products, shaving cream, razors, soap, moist towelettes, band-aids, nail clippers, Q-Tips, lip balm, and sunscreen.
• Rain gear. A lightweight waterproof poncho and an umbrella will help keep you dry.
• Copies of important documents such as birth certificates, photo I.D., and insurance information should go in your evacuation kit and stored in a waterproof plastic bag or stored on a CD or flashdrive. Keep a copy of your pet's licence and ID tag with you records in case your pet is lost.
