GO|STAY|KIT ®

Be prepared yourself:   The GO|STAY|KIT ® is the ultimate tool that will help vulnerable populations in a medical emergency or natural disaster maintain control over their personal medical information.

Whether a person stays at home during a disaster or goes to a shelter, there are certain steps he or she can do to prepare. For instructions about creating a 72-hour Kit for use if you must stay at home, see your county’s Family Emergency Preparedness Handbook  â€”Jackson County  /  Josephine County.   You can also  pick up a free copy from your local county or law enforcement office.

If you are a person who has special needs because of a disability you should make a list ahead of time of items to be packed quickly in case you must leave your home if there is a disaster. Keep a backpack or small suitcase available to pack on short notice, if necessary, with a list, customized to your needs, similar to the one below:

  • Personal hygiene items and a change of clothing
  • An extra set of keys for your house and car
  • Cash, a credit card, and change for a pay phone
  • Your insurance agent’s name and phone number
  • Special needs such as eyeglasses, hearing aid batteries, incontinence supplies, walker, cane, wheelchair—all labeled with your name and phone number
  • A copy of your health information card
  • A few days worth of essential medications and, if you use it, cylinders of oxygen or other essential supplies.
