Choosing an Emergency Bag
When prepping for emergencies, and possible evacuation scenarios, many different variables must be considered. Different situations have different needs. For example, you may not always be at home when one arises.
For that reason we have developed the modular BOBB Five-Part Emergency System which helps you to keep the gear where you will need it most, and when you put it all together gives you the full kit.
Deciding what goes into your emergency kit(s) can be a little overwhelming at first.

Water Treatment & Containment
You need to provide 1 gallon of water (3.7 liters) per person per day for you and each of your family members if you don't have access to clean water or a faucet.
Think about that for a minute. That's a lot of water.
A half gallon (2 liters) is what you need for drinking each day - in warm weather or during periods of high stress or activity that amount could double.
