We hope that it will never happen to you, your family, or your business. But should a natural disaster or terrorist attack strike your area, there will be time before the Red Cross can come in and offer assistance. Worse yet, it may be three days before someone finds you under what used to be your home. And once they do, they'll have to prioritize. The elderly and the injured will be receiving help first. How will you and your family survive without food or water? You can survive without food for about four days, but without water you may only last hours. A disaster survival kit can extend those numbers by up to ten fold. You may look at television footage of disasters like tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and fires and feel comforted by the presence of the Red Cross. You see them handing out blankets and medical personnel giving aid and you wonder why we would emphasize the need for emergency survival kits. You may think, "This could never happen to me" or "The Red Cross will take care of us." The truth is that the you should not solely rely on the Red Cross or government agency.
If you have prepared your home and your family with a 72 Hour Kit, you won't have to worry. If you're packing your own disaster supply kit, you should make sure you have enough water, food, and clothing for 72 hours. If you buy one of ours, make sure you add the additional clothing for comfort and store everything in the area you have designated to your family as the “Safe Zone”. In an emergency, everyone should know to gather in your “Safe Zone” or another back-up area. Three days should be more than enough time for help to get to you.
This is especially important when packing medication, particularly for people with serious medical problems such as diabetes or heart conditions. If your child needs insulin daily, make sure there's enough to get him through the first 72 hours of a crisis. Make sure you check the expiration dates on medications and replace as necessary. Three days worth of supplies may seem like a lot when you're packing, but you'll be awfully glad you have it later.
If you don't already have them, making sure your home and vehicle are equipped with emergency survival kits should be your number one priority. How do you know what items are necessary for your survival kit? How do you know how to keep your first aid supply replenished and up-to-date? The answers are here, on the internet, in libraries, and at Relief Organizations but what is best for you? For families today, sometimes the hectic pace of everyone's schedules leaves little time for daily errands, let alone buying all the necessary tools and supplies for a survival kit. Luckily, these items are available, all in a one-stop on-line superstore. For the busy family of today, it's a much needed solution to a very important question. How Prepared Are You?
Disasters can strike anywhere. The tsunami in Indonesia, the blizzards hitting the Northeast US, the earthquakes in the West, the hurricanes in the Atlantic States, and the tornadoes of the Midwest. You might be prepared at work or home, but what about while you're driving home? Not only should you have a home emergency kit, but a car emergency kit, for each of your vehicles, as well. And don't forget your vacation homes or cabins. Many families find that it's useful to have more than one emergency kit in a house. Should the worst happen, it may not be feasible to get from one floor to the next to get to your survival supplies. Having multiple emergency survival kits would ensure that this doesn't happen.
Preparing your own home for disaster is also a good time to reach out to loved ones and make sure that they're prepared as well. Elderly friends and relatives could greatly benefit from you taking the time to make sure they're stocked and to explain to them the use of all their survival items. You may just save their life.
Is your house equipped with disaster survival kits? If your answer is no, now is the time to put them together. We live in uncertain times. We are no longer facing threats just from nature, but from enemies abroad who have no problem attacking us where we live. Where you live!
Every household needs an emergency survival kit. In many cases it's a good idea to have two. Make sure your children know where they are located, what all the items in it are and how they should be used. And make sure they know that this is not another toy box. This is a kit that can save your life. Always have a back-up plan and alternate meeting places in case you get separated. Don’t count on telephones or even cellphones to maintain communications. Complete your kits with contact information, medications, maps, and anything else you think would be a necessity.
Is your office prepared for a disaster, or maybe you think that's none of your concern. Most people spend a over third of their life at work. When disaster hits, there's a good chance that's where you'll be. What about your children's school? Get to know the staff and make sure that they are prepared. Offer to make emergency survival kits yourself. You can never be too prepared.
In today's fast pace world, we spend a lot of time in cars. Make sure there are auto safety kits for all the family vehicles. Check with neighbors and friends. Any place you and your family spends time should be prepared for the worst. Explain to people what you are doing to ensure your families' safety and encourage them to do the same.
Take the time to decide what you need to prepare your family for the next tornado, hurricane, earthquake or whatever possible disaster may come and buy what you need before you need it! If you don't buy from us then buy your disaster and survival kits from someone! |
