  1. In the event that an older citizen needs to be evacuated, we should be sensitive to their ability to carry a grab-and-go backpack and consider a rolling bag for their convenience. This is a good consideration for children, too. http://bit.ly/9JqSC

  2. You are absolutely right! I just didn't get to the type of bags to put evac items in, yet. I am going over specific items that should be included in these evacuation packs, giving information as to what might be useful in each category. Once a person knows how much stuff they will be taking, then they can decide what type and size container they will need. Thanks for your input!
