One of the means of surviving in every disaster is by becoming prepared. Each family must have prepared emergency kits for any disaster that might come. An emergency kit will help you survive in times of hurricane or earthquake. Here’s a sample list of what to put inside your kit.
1) One flashlight per family member must go inside your kit. Put some extra batteries
2) Include non-perishable food items and water per family member that will last for three days. Your kit must also have utensils of how you will eat your food.
3) Warm clothes, sleeping bag and heavy blankets per family member must be in your kit.
4) Tools must be included as well in case you need to fix something or escape your house in time of emergency situations.
5) A first aid kit must be included in your emergency kit which must have sterile gloves, different sizes of bandages, prescription drugs, thermometer, antibiotic ointment and pain reliever drugs.
Don’t forget to include a pocket mask for CPR, mole skin in case you have to walk a long way evacuating, sterile water for irrigating wounds or eyes, and tweezers for splinters – lots of opportunity for splinters cleaning up disaster debris.
Great additions, how about dental floss and a sewing needle? For teeth as well as minor fabric mending.
