How To Be Prepared In Case of A Disaster

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Natural disasters and emergencies are something
that are unavoidable so it is important to be prepared. Not being
prepared can cause a lot of problems and suffering for the family
facing the disaster. There is a lot you can do to prepare their
family for an emergency, the best thing you can do is to build a
supply of necessities that will be needed.
Electronics:
Electronics
play a key role in staying safe during a disaster. Flashlights and
extra batteries will be necessary just in case the power goes out. A
battery powered radio or a NOAA weather radio is a must in order to
be aware of what is going on outside the walls of your home. Solar
generators or chargers will also come in handy for cell phones and
other little things to help pass the time.
Health
and Safety:

Health and safety is
always important even in a state of disaster. A first aid kit is very
important to keep in your emergency supply. Your first aid kit should
contain basic supplies such as bandages, moist toilets, rubbing
alcohol, ace bandages, and even butterfly strips. Plastic sheeting
and duct tape is another must have just in case a temporary shelter
needs to be put together.
Food
and Water:

Most importantly you
are going to need to have a supply of non-perishable food and water.
Non-perishable foods consist of canned foods, peanut butter, cereal,
nuts and trail mixes, powdered milk, and dried fruits such as
raisins. You should store enough food to provide 3 meals per person
over a 3 day period. A supply of clean water is key to making it
through a disaster; one gallon of water per person for at least three
days is the recommended amount of water to keep stored.
Other
Necessities:

Other items that you
should add to your list of items to store in case of a disaster are a
can opener, dust masks, a small tool kit, whistles, rope, candles,
matches and of course pet food for all of your furry friends! If you
really want to be prepared sleeping bags, pillows and blankets will
provide comfort for your family in a time of need. A deck of cards
will help soothe the nerves of the kiddos around you as
well.

Whether it is a hurricane, a blizzard or even a
power outage it is important that you are prepared in case of any
emergency or disaster. If you have the necessary items stored and
ready at all times then it will be a much less stressful experience
having to deal with such a disaster. The best way to gather all of
your items is to make a list of everything you need and place it in a
storage area that is safe and easy to access at all times.
