Kenapa Kamu Perlu Tas Siaga Bencana
Bencana alam bisa datang tiba-tiba seperti gempa, banjir, letusan gunung, tsunami, longsor, atau cuaca ekstrem. Di Indonesia yang rawan bencana, kesiapsiagaan bisa menyelamatkan nyawa. Sebuah tas siaga Bencana memberi kamu dan keluarga kesempatan untuk bertahan, tetap aman, dan cepat evakuasi saat waktu sangat berharga.
Banyak badan penanggulangan bencana serta organisasi kemanusiaan merekomendasikan kit yang bisa memenuhi kebutuhan dasar selama minimal 72 jam - kebutuhan seperti air, makanan, tempat berteduh, pertolongan pertama, komunikasi, dan dokumen penting.

Why You Need a Survival Bag
Natural disasters can strike without warning - earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, landslides, storms. In disaster-prone regions like Indonesia, being prepared can make all the difference. A well-packed survival bag (also known as a “go-bag” or “emergency kit”) gives you and your family the ability to survive, stay safe, and evacuate quickly when every minute counts.
Most emergency responders and disaster-management agencies recommend a kit that sustains basic needs for at least 72 hours - covering essentials like water, food, shelter, first aid, communication, and important documents.
Reference: 📄 BNPB Official Guidebook — Buku Saku Siaga Bencana (PDF) (BNPB stands for Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (National Disaster Management Authority of Indonesia.)
By preparing your kit in advance, you avoid the panic and chaos of scrambling for items when disaster strikes.
What to Include in Your Survival Bag (Minimal 72-Hour Kit)
Here’s a practical checklist to get you started (you can expand it depending on your location, climate, family size, and special needs):
