Disaster Preparedness: Making Sure You've Got What It Takes - Supplies you should have on hand in the event of an emergency http://ping.fm/OQn02
Getting Set
• Think about it this way--you and your family need to get together whatever you will need to camp out for three days. Assume you'll be out of reach of electricity and running water.
• You may have many items on hand; you just need to be sure you've assembled them all (or that you can do so quickly) and that you have sufficient quantities of the consumable items.
• If you are storing items, store them in sealed containers--such as plastic tubs taped shut--if at all possible.
• Store items in a cool, dry place indoors.
• Avoid storing items in glass containers unless absolutely necessary.
• If a complete kit is not possible, list items around the house that need to be in the kit and be prepared to pack them as soon as disaster threatens (for example, a battery-operated radio or medicines that must be refrigerated or taken daily).
• Check all stored supplies every six months. Rotate out any perishable items (including such things as batteries) and use them for daily needs. Replace them in the kit with fresh supplies. If you have not set aside stored supplies, check your household inventory of key items at least once every month or two.
For Each Person
• Water--one gallon per day (per person or pet).
• Food--enough for three meals per person per day. Try to keep on hand canned foods or other prepared foods that don't require cooking or a lot of added water. Stock some energy bars and dried fruit for portability.
• Clothing--at least two or three complete sets of clothing. Switch them off seasonally when you recheck stored supplies. Include rain gear (even disposable ponchos can help) for everyone and sweaters or heavy coats if the next six months' weather demands it.
• Medicines
- Medium to large size first-aid kit
- First-aid instruction book
- Extra bandages, gauze compresses, and first-aid tape
- Antiseptic wipes, creams, etc., as needed
- Pain relief medicines, antacids, cough medicines (including infants'/children's if appropriate)
- Three to four days' supply of medications for each person who is on a regular medical regimen (store copies of prescriptions if possible)
- Disposable latex gloves and household bleach (for disinfection as needed).
• Bedding, etc.--one sleeping bag or blanket and pillow per person (more for cold weather); one bath towel per person; and (possibly) inexpensive deflated air mattresses.
