About Us: Bug-out Bags for Senior Citizens – Staying Safe and Prepared
Our Journey
In 2017, we launched Bug-out Bags for Senior Citizens: Staying Safe and Prepared with a vision to empower our aging population to be resilient and self-sufficient during emergencies. The site’s founding was inspired by the increasing need for accessible, unbiased information about emergency preparedness specifically tailored to senior citizens’ unique requirements.
Our Mission and Purpose
Our mission is to provide comprehensive, reliable resources and guidance on creating and maintaining essential bug-out bags (or go-kits) designed to keep seniors safe during unexpected events, natural disasters, or critical situations. We aim to bridge the information gap that often exists regarding emergency preparedness for this specific demographic.
The core values that guide our site include:
- Accuracy: We strive for excellence in providing factual and up-to-date information.
- Unbiased Expertise: Our content is created by researchers and professionals dedicated to offering neutral advice.
- Empowerment: We believe in empowering seniors to take control of their safety and well-being.
Filling a Vital Niche
The internet abounds with general emergency preparedness resources, but there was a distinct lack of specialized content catering to the specific needs of senior citizens. Many existing guides failed to address the unique challenges faced by older adults, such as mobility issues, prescription medication requirements, and special dietary considerations. Bug-out Bags for Senior Citizens aims to fill this gap, offering tailored advice on:
- Essential items to include in a bug-out bag, considering age-related needs.
- Effective strategies for assembling and organizing the kit.
- Tips for staying safe during different types of emergencies.
- Information on local resources and support networks.
