El mejor equipo para tu bolsa de emergencia

En caso de incendio forestal, huracán, inundación o cualquier otra emergencia, es esencial contar con un equipo de emergencia totalmente equipado (también denominado "bolsa de emergencia"). De este modo, tú y tu familia podréis evacuar rápidamente a un refugio u otro lugar seguro armados con suministros y herramientas básicas de supervivencia.

For this guide we focused on gear that could be easily carried in a backpack, emphasizing lightness and portability wherever possible. For sheltering in place, we have a separate guide to the best emergency-preparedness supplies, to help you manage at home for a period of time following a disaster that knocks out utility services or cuts off outside resources to your area.

For longer hikes, it’s convenient to carry a small backcountry water filter, such as a Sawyer Mini or Micro, which allows you to replenish your water from natural sources like streams or ponds.
