Grab & Go Box for disaster preparedness

The east coast hurricanes and Texas wildfires remind us that we are all vulnerable to natural disasters. Here is Utah we live under the threat of a devastating earthquake. If you live in an area prone to natural disasters (who doesn't??) that could require evacuation, consider creating a grab-and-go box. 

Use a durable, sealed waterproof box or backpack. Put in copies of everything that is in your emergency file, and add other important papers:  (http://www.extension.org/pages/26403/grab-and-go-box

Note that the list calls for COPIES of important documents. The originals should be kept in a safe deposit box at a financial institution.
