Emergency Supplies List Having the proper tools and supplies goes a long way in answering the challenges that face individuals and families. The weather activities of 2010 should have been a series of wake up events. How a family or a person is prepared is a good indication of how long and how effective isolation can be endured.
Not only will this collection of preparedness items be a help from storm-related emergencies; they can be helpful if emergency service providers request an alternative to evacuation in the event of certain localized or regional events. Police, fire, and military personnel have learned that staying inside the protection of a dwelling can be much safer than attempting to go to distant locations of safety. If required to stay inside a living area helps address the needs to being prepared. Water is the most important health and safety item. Experts cite that 2-quarts (a half gallon) of water each day is a minimum for a normally active person. Families must remember to add water quantities for food preparation and hygiene. Also, pet needs must be included in the home reservoir of stored water. Will water last forever? No, not indefinitely. The water can be stored for long periods of time if this water is kept in a dark place. However, it is wise to rotate water every few months. The water that is being replaced need not be discarded. It can be used for plant watering other non-drinking uses. When water is stored, its taste appeal my change, even with short storage times. This problem can be solved by pouring and re-pouring stored water into other containers. This simple procedure adds air (and dissolved oxygen) to water that has “gone flat.” Food needs cannot be ignored. Store a minimum of a 3-day supply of food is a good start. Consider storing foods that do not require detailed preparation steps. First Aid Supplies
