Ready Bag

-> What is a READY Bag?

A READY Bag contains a collection of essential items that will help you in an emergency.



-> The basic things a Ready Bag should have .
  • the Civil Defence Emergency Handbook ,
  • a radio-torch-lite, and
  • a document case for important information, such as photocopies of identity cards of household members, and essential contact numbers.
  • Depending on your own individual needs, various items could be included, such as personal medication or a basic medical kit, and even biscuits and bottled water.
  • (for medical information), it should consist of critical information such as any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies and any special medications you are taking.



-> If a disaster was to hit Singapore, how can the READY Bag help me to survive?

The READY Bag will not help you to survive every emergency.

If a sudden earthquake or tsunami were to affect Singapore, there is very little households can do to prevent or pre-empt it, beyond being alert and getting out of disaster’s way.

For emergencies such as blackouts, the radio-torch-light suggested for the READY Bag will offer light and access to information. If you put biscuits and bottled water in the READY Bag, they can be some form of rations in the meantime before emergency responders arrive.
