Build a useful get-home bag around a real journey, not a shopping list. Download our free printable checklist and route worksheet now. No email address or signup is required.
What is in the checklist?
- A route worksheet for destinations, alternatives, contacts, and places to obtain safe water.
- A packing checklist to adapt to your travel time, weather, medical needs, and carrying ability.
- A quarterly inspection sheet to check fit, batteries, supplies, and changes to your journey.
This is a get-home planning aid, not a guarantee that a route is safe or a complete household evacuation plan. Start with the get-home bag guide or use our evacuation packing guide if you are preparing to leave home.
What happens after signup?
You will receive the checklist link, then two short practical messages over five days about testing your route and adding the next preparedness layer. Every message includes an unsubscribe link. The PDF remains available without signup.
