Why does every household need a 72-hour evacuation bag?

🔥 When everything changes, it's already too late to prepare...

Power outages, earthquakes, fires, floods, riots, or even pandemics: the first 72 hours following a disaster are often the most critical. In France, the government itself recommends having an emergency kit ready to use to deal with these situations.

"This pre-prepared kit will allow you to stay at home more calmly while waiting for help. It will also be very useful in the event of a hasty departure." – Source: République Française, official campaign on the 72-hour kit

🎒 What is a bug out bag?

Its mission: to keep you alive for 72 hours

The evacuation bag (also called a 72-hour kit ) contains the essentials for surviving in total autonomy for 3 days , while emergency services are organized. It is not a hiking bag, nor a long-expedition military bag. Its function is unique: to allow rapid and efficient evacuation in the event of an emergency.

⚠️ What the evacuation bag is not

❌ Hiking bag	❌ Survival bag	❌ Shipping bag
Designed for leisure	Too heavy, tactical, nowhere visible	Designed for extremes, not for hasty departures
Too bulky	Camouflage not suitable for rescue	Impractical, difficult to transport
Requires time for organization	Not accessible to all households	Unsuitable for domestic use
