One of the steps to prepare for various threats is to complete the so -called evacuation backpack, which would be ready to take at any time. It should contain the most important things, such as documents, medicines, water, food for a few days, a flashlight and a powerbank. Preparation of the backpack in advance increases the chances of quick and safe action in the event of evacuation.

The backpack itself should be comfortable and functional. It is best to make it made of waterproof material. In addition, it is best for it to have adjustable straps that will make it easier for us to move quickly.
The Ministry of the Interior and Administration, the Government Security Center and the entire government encourage you to complete the evacuation backpack in advance, in advance and regardless of whether there is a threat currently. The government pages also included a “security guide”, which presents a compendium of the most important information useful for time.

Practicality is a key principle in preparing an evacuation backpack. It should contain things really necessary to survive in the first hours after managed evacuation.
The government suggests how to prepare an evacuation backpack
As the creators of the “security guide” remind, the contents of the backpack should be universal regardless of the type of threat.
Among the most important items that should be in the backpack are:
- water (minimum for two days; it's good to have a water filter or a filter bottle with you),
- food for two days (food ready to eat, which can be stored without cooking, e.g. energy bars, nuts, dried fruits that are both light and supply a lot of energy),
- documents (originals and their copies on a pendrive),
- first aid kit (with bandages and painkillers, diarrhea or nausea drugs and chemical slices, but also individual drugs we take),
- Blanket rescue,
- warm clothes and a rain jacket (thermoactive clothing is especially recommended)
- flashlight and matches,
- map and compass (helps to get an idea of the field, even when we do not have a range or our phone is discharged);
- cash in small denominations.
