Abstract

The study presents the design and development of emergency bag for school children. It have been noted that there is disaster awareness in most of us, as we saw and experienced several calamities occurred in the past few years. Several primary and secondary schools in the Philippines require their students to bring "Go-Bag "at the start of the semester and would be stored inside their classroom. "Go-Bag" is a term used for survival kit in which it contains items one would require to survive for the first seventy two hours when evacuating from a disaster. The kit is a portable kit that was designed and developed using Engineering Tools and Techniques with inclusion of Ergonomics Principles. An actual product which is the "Go-Bag" was developed and presented in the paper.
