Flexible panel and sealable bag with sorbent

Abstract

A flexible panel in a sealable bag for disaster recovery has permeable inner layers and an impermeable outer layer affixed together so as to provide a plurality of cavities for receiving sorbent material. The cavities are arranged in a pattern across the flexible panel. A port is shown extending through all of the layers of the flexible panel. The port is used for introducing into and removing gas and/or liquid from the bag. The flexible panel may have one or more electronic components operable to monitor or control the chemical environment in the bag. The components may be affixed or printed on internal layers of the bag, such as: a conductor, a heater, a processor, a communications transmitter, a communications receiver and a GPS receiver. A remote module in electrical and/or wireless communication with the bag is operable to monitor and control the chemical environment in the bag.
