In our world of current disasters and weather changes, it is important to be prepared for any last minute
surprises… Whether they are from earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes,
firestorms, extreme heat/cold or floods/droughts. Here are some ideas
for things to do for any emergency: Maintain a list of emergency
telephone numbers at your fingertips. Create an emergency evacuation
plan. Keep all of your important papers in one safe place, including
copy of documentation on your family keep travel carriers close to the
door for quick evacuation. Keep your car’s tank filled up. Make a list
of emergencies and what to do for each one, in order to remind
yourself should you get upset in an emergency. Include the telephone number for your veterinarian.
Keep a first-aid kit on hand with you and
make sure to update it every six months.
Keep at least three days supply of water and food on hand. Always update the supplies. This also
includes some of your family's favorite "dried" foods, such as canned
food or soup, which your family will eat, no matter the
circumstances. If you’re in an earthquake area (or potential area),
make sure your baggage is strong enough to withstand the
pressures. Always have the following supplies: flashlights/batteries;
(non-scented) candles/matches; portable radio/batteries;
disinfectant/bleach; gas lanterns/fuel; first-aid kit/spray bottle;
and blankets.
