Emergency Pack

March 25, 2009 by webmaster · 1 Comment 

It’s 3AM and a tornado forces you to evacuate your home – fast. There’s no time to gather food from the kitchen, fill bottles with water, grab a first aid kit from the closet and snatch a small flashlight and portable radio from the bedroom. You need to have these items packed and ready on one place before disaster strikes.
Pack at least a three day supply of food and water, and store it in a handy place. Choose foods that are easy to carry, nutritious and ready-to-eat. In addition, pack these emergency items:

  • Medical Kit and First Aid Manual
  • Hygiene supplies
  • Portable radio, flashlights and extra batteries
  • Shovel and other useful tools
  • Household liquid bleach to purify water
  • Money and matches in a waterproof container
  • Fire extinguisher
  • Blankets and extra clothing
  • Infant/toddler needs (if applicable)
  • Manual can opener
