Are You Prepared?....Tomorrow is too late!

Emergency preparedness will require the use of a survival kit. In the event of a natural disaster or terrorists activity, the ability to react with a quickness will save your life and your loved ones.  Individuals and families should be prepared to sustain themselves for several days. Emergency survival kits will need to contain water, food, and a first-aid kit, also chemicals to purify the water and a filter to filter the water.  There should also be some duct tape to secure doors and windows in case of a chemical attack, candles for light, matches, battery operated or solar source for radios and light.  Food will require a can opener and heat source. Baby supplies should also be included in your emergency preparedness kits.

Every individual and each member of a  family should have his or her own survival kit.  All of the kits should be stored in a secret and secure place, this place should only be known by yourself and members of your family.  It is a very good practice for individuals and or families to conduct emergency drills and during the course of these emergency drills thoroughly familiarize themselves with the contents of their      survival-emergency-preparedness-kits.

Water

In my opinion there should be two gallons of water for each person for each day. 

BPA Free plastic drink bottles are great for water storage. Glass bottles are suitable, but they are heavier and are easily broken.

Camping thermos jugs are another suitable for water storage.

Wash the containers carefully and dry completely before filling them. Add either bleach or peroxide to the water. It will take about ten drops to purify the water and keep it safe without altering the taste. Be sure that the container is filled to the top and does not contain air.

Water should be stored off the floor. It should be in a place that will not freeze. Water will expand when frozen and break the container. It should be stored in a dark area and at a good distance from chemicals.

Food

Canned vegetables, meats and soup should be available. In my opinion there should be five cans per day for each person. Survival bars are available and will provide the necessary nutritional requirements for one day.  MRE's, meals ready to eat are also available in triple layered sealed containers. They should be stored in a cool area to prevent deterioration of taste and nutritional values.

Dehydrated camping pouches are handy to have in your survival kit and are readily available. All foods should be non-perishable for safe consumption.
