Be Alert With Disaster Survival Kits

By Paul F. Joshua

No one wants to picture themselves in a predicament where they will need a survival kit, but you do need to think about it. If you do not, you never know when something will happen where you wished you had disaster survival kits nearby. That is why you can do these on your own. Here are a few things you should include.

The first thing of survival is that every person needs food and drink. Water is always best. That is why in all the disaster kits you will have food and water. The rule of thumb for this is that you should have enough for three days as far as food and a gallon full of water on hand. Food should be canned so that it is non perishable. You might even want to throw in a can opener or two to be sure that you can open them and do not starve to death.

Another thing that you should include is a radio. This should be battery operated as you will not always have power. The way that officials get through to you and the community is by way of radio and television. If the power goes out you need to know what they are ordering people to do. This way everyone stays safe.

Things to keep warm are always a good idea as well. For instance blankets so that you do not get hypothermia. There should be extra clothing and supplies to practice as much proper hygiene as possible. The warmer you are the less likely you are to be in any serious danger. If you pass out you should have something with you that can help them to identify you. That is how people can check on you. It is a frightening thing but you do have to be prepared for it.

Due to the fact that you can hurt yourself, it is always good to have a first aid kit. This way you can work on small things yourself. You do not know how many times people were thankful that they had the above items as well as a first aid kit.

If you have children or babies, it is always good to have things that can keep them content. A blanket they can hold is nice. For infants, you should have formula and diapers on hand for in times of need. Make sure to keep renewing the formula as formula does go bad.

You might be trapped so having blankets with you can help you. People get cold fast and when you are in shock that is no fun. You could actually die from that. So, make sure you have those things around. They can be of great need whether you realize that or not.

When you have these items you can be sure that you are prepared for the worst. Many people laugh it off, but anything could happen. They need to know who you are in these times of need and you have to have the resources to keep yourselves alive. - 29972
