In the heat of the moment, it can be tough to think about what you’ll need in case of disaster. Plan ahead, and take some time and think about what you’ll need in a kit for disaster survival. Here are some suggestions, from disastercenter.com:
• A portable, battery-powered radio or television, and extra batteries
• Flashlight and extra batteries
• First aid kit and first aid manual
• A supply of prescription medications
• Credit card and cash
• Personal identification
• An extra set of car keys
• Matches in a waterproof container
• A signal flare
• A map of the area, and phone numbers of places you can go
• Special needs (ex. Diapers, hearing aid batteries, spare glasses, etc.)
Evacuation also might be a possibility. Here are some tips in case of evacuation:
• Three gallons of drinking water per person
• Three-day supply of non-perishable food
• Kitchen supplies (such as can opener, plastic/paper dishes, re-sealable bags, etc.)
• A complete change of clothing and shoes per person
• Blankets/pillows/sleeping bags
• Tools
• Sanitation and hygiene items (soap, toothpaste, feminine products, etc.)
