Preparing for Emergencies: Natural Disasters, Terrorist Attacks, and Pandemics
Are You Prepared?
In the face of emergencies like natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or pandemics, preparation is crucial. Waiting until the last minute to gather essentials like food and water can leave you in a difficult situation. Grocery stores may run out, gas stations could run dry, and relying solely on government aid might not be enough.
Start Planning Now
It's essential to begin planning today to ensure your family's survival in unexpected circumstances. While official guidelines recommend having a 72-hour kit, it's wise to prepare for longer periods?"at least one to three months.
Essential Items to Stock
- Food: Stock up on basics like flour, sugar, rice, dried milk, and non-perishable items. Canned goods can last a year or more. Purchase extras on each grocery trip and watch for sales. Consider long-term storage solutions like dehydrated foods and MREs (Meals Ready to Eat).
- Water: Store water in large containers or mylar water bags. A reliable water purifier is essential.
- Tools: Equip yourself with tools for minor repairs, gas shut-offs, and essential tasks like removing debris or repairing structures.
- Energy: Prepare for power outages with alternative heating and lighting options. Invest in a portable generator, solar panels, propane for stoves, and LED flashlights. Hand-crank flashlights and lanterns are useful.
- Medical Supplies: Maintain a well-stocked first aid kit, over-the-counter medicines, and any personal prescriptions. Don’t forget spare glasses or contact lenses.
- Household Necessities: Stock up on toiletries, cleaning supplies, and sanitation items. Don't overlook conveniences like hair clippers.
- Communication: Invest in walkie-talkies with a 10-12 mile range for family communication. A hand-cranked radio keeps you informed if other devices fail.
- Camping Gear: Tents, stoves, and sleeping bags may be vital if relocation becomes necessary. Look for deals at garage sales or sales events.
- Bicycles and Transportation: Consider bicycles for travel if gasoline is unavailable. If planning to relocate, have a route and extra fuel ready.
Relocation Plans
If staying home isn’t an option, plan your relocation strategy. Decide on a destination and stock it with essentials. Ensure you have safe storage for gasoline and a rotation system to keep it fresh.
Familiarize yourself with alternative routes, avoiding main highways if possible. Keep maps in your vehicles and practice your route regularly.
Be Prepared for Anything
Start by assembling your supplies in containers ready for quick loading. Having a smaller emergency kit in your vehicle at all times is also a wise precaution. By preparing now, you can focus on your family’s safety and well-being without waiting for external help in times of crisis.
