Disaster Survival Kits
Sit down with your family and create a disaster plan so you will be prepared in the event of a natural disaster like a tornado, earthquake, hurricane, or blizzard. In addition to a plan, make sure you have a disaster survival kit. The purpose of the kit is to keep you and your loved ones safe and protected until the inclement weather has gone through and it is save to leave your home. You disaster survival kit should include non-perishable food items, emergency drinking water pouches, fire retardant blankets, matches, hand warmers, ponchos, and other items designed to protect you from the elements if you are outdoors, keep you dry, warm, fed, and hydrated. The kit needs to have enough supplies to keep you and your family going for several days. Aside from emergency preparedness gear your disaster survival guide should also include first aid supplies. Keep in mind you may not have access to running water, or even clean water, so you need antiseptic wipes and hand sanitizer to effectively clean up. Bandages, gauze, tape, ointments, and medications let you administer first aid care to minor injuries or provide care to stabilize more severe injuries until you can get to a medical professional.
Check out the supplies in your disaster survival kit from time to time to make sure it is fully stocked and ready for action. Check the expiration dates on medications, inspect the packaging of first aid supplies and toss anything that is ripped or torn. Make sure batteries still have juice and work.
