For National Preparedness Month, Glendale urges residents to pack a 'go bag' with essential supplies

In recognition of National Preparedness Month, Glendale's emergency management team urged residents to prepare a basic emergency kit or "go bag." A city staff member listed recommended items including clothes, hygiene products, sturdy shoes, a seat belt cutter, a compact survival kit, dehydrated food, a power bank and copies of important documents.

The staff member said taking small preparedness steps now can make a difference during an emergency. The announcement did not specify recommended quantities, a target time frame for supplies, or whether the city will provide materials or kits to residents.

Residents were referred to the city's emergency management page for additional guidance.
