Kids, we need security and comfort in a time of need. Be prepared when a storm comes your way. Learn how you can create your own kid-friendly Stormie Bag.
What is a Stormie Bag?
A Stormie Bag is a small backpack that you can take with you if you need to leave your home quickly.
Why would I need to leave home?
Sometimes along the coast, we need to evacuate for hurricanes or other emergencies such as a gas leak or floods.
Where can I get a Stormie Bag?
You make them yourself! You can use an old backpack to start creating your Stormie Bag. It is super simple and you can start today. Watch our videos below to see what we have in our Stormie Bags.
What can you put in your Stormie Bag?
Packing your Stormie Bag is super fun and easy. There are a few basics that are needed like food and water. After that, just customize it to your needs. We recommend that you pack non-perishable snacks that will last at least 6 months to a year. Also take basic items to help you if you need to leave home for 24-48 hours . . . like clothes, books, and a toothbrush! A short list of suggested items are listed below, or you can just watch what we have in our Stormie Bags.
