Safety Gears You Should Maintain In Your Disaster Emergency Kit

Disasters of natural or man-made can strike at any time. You may need access to emergency supplies seconds after Earth Quake, Floods or Civil unrest. Being prepared in advance can help you survive the most difficult times of your life.

• Always ensure your emergency kit is maintained and updated.
• Maintain everything you may need including medicines and other safety gear.
• You should also maintain a complete list of supplies that you have and what you need, on a regular basis.

       Emergency water

Water is an important safety supply that is essential for your survival. It may never be possible to maintain a regular volume of water in your emergency supply. You should try and include sufficient volume that is fit for drinking.

As per experts, a gallon of water is important on per day basis for each individual. So if there are more dependents then each one can carry two to three gallons of water during an emergency.

Food supplies

Including all types of food should always be avoided. Try and include foods like snacks that are rich in protein and vitamins. Salt and sugar are also essential. Canned food items can prove more beneficial during an emergency.

Always remember that food and emergency water storage and filtration should be based on the number of dependents at your home.

Medicines

Medicines are as important as emergency water storage and filtration and food items. This is more important if you are suffering from some serious health issues. If you have kids then it is better to carry prescribed medicines as well.

You should try and store as many medicines as possible along with disinfectants. Certain handy items should also be maintained including a powerful lens.

Handy first aid kit

The moment disaster strikes, you should have immediate access to handy first aid kit. You can maintain sterile blades, scissors, bandage, burn cream and lotion, sunscreen and other important items in your kit. These are all considered as important emergency gear supplies that should be maintained during any such disaster times.

Handy tools

An emergency is also the time when you may have to depend on a number of tools and equipment. It is important to maintain a knife, tweezers, waterproof container, battery, torch, and emergency can opener.

You have to keep in mind that it may not be possible to organize anything if the disaster strikes. So to stay on the same side you should always keep your emergency kit handy at your home.
