Pi bon Kovèti pou sak ensèk ou

Nan evènman an nan yon dife sovaj, yon siklòn, yon inondasyon, oswa nenpòt ki kantite lòt ijans, li esansyèl pou gen yon sache konplètman stoke (yo rele tou yon sak pare," "ale sak," oswa "ensèk") nan Kovèti pou ijans. Fason sa a, ou menm ak fanmi ou ka byen vit evakye nan yon abri oswa lòt kote ki an sekirite ame ak materyèl siviv debaz ak zouti.

For this guide we focused on gear that could be easily carried in a backpack, emphasizing lightness and portability wherever possible.
