WESTERN KERN COUNTY ARES® GO-KIT 9-1-11
Have this basic Go-Kit assembled and ready to go, or in your vehicle. You may want to wait until alerted to put in fresh food, water, personal items, charged batteries, etc. It’s handy to put a copy of this list in the kit so when you are in a hurry you can refer to it to be sure you have everything. Hand held radios are nice but RF power and battery life are limited. If you are going to staff a Served Agency site that does not have pre-installed radios it is advisable to have a portable mobile radio, power supply, antenna, and sufficient battery back-up to enable you to operate for up to 12 hours without shore power.
