Pointers In Preparing A 3 Day Survival Kit

By Lucia Weeks


Tragedies could be happening anywhere and anytime. These disasters might be tsunamis, fires, floods, and typhoons, among others. In most cases, these events are claiming countless human lives and damaging millions, even billions, worth of properties. Even if certain instruments could be detecting the probability of several tragedies, people should be preparing themselves all the time.

Information on what should be done by people before, during, and after the calamities are typically disseminated by local and national governments. A 3 day survival kit would be one. Individuals should ensure that their kits contain the following things.

The individual should be buying a bag where he will be putting his necessities. He should see to it that he will be buying a durable bag. In this manner, all of his belongings will be remaining inside the container and will not be falling off from it. He might also have to be buying a water proof one for his things not to be getting wet in case of a heavy rain or flood.

Usually, evacuation centers may not provide clean water. For this matter, they will have to bring their own clean water so that they can quench their thirsts while they stay in the evacuation centers. They should bring one gallon per day per person. They also need to store non perishable food such as noodles or canned goods. For the latter, they also have to bring can openers so that they can eat these goods.

The person should be bringing his cellphone with him for him to be communicating with other people or government agencies about the situation. He should also be keeping extra batteries and a charger for him to be utilizing his cellphone. Apart from that, he should have a transistor radio for him to be aware of important announcements and events. He must have a flashlight in illuminating his way through the night.

He should also be having duplicates of his personal documents. The documents could be his birth or marriage certificate, insurance policy, passport, or identification card, among others. They will be helping the government in identifying him and providing him with whatever assistance he will be needing.

Even if disasters happen, cleanliness should still be observed by them so that illnesses can be avoided, especially during floods and typhoons. Items for hygiene and sanitation should be carried, such as toothbrushes, alcohol, and wet wipes, among others. Extra clothes should also be carried so that dry ones could be changed into if ever heavy rains made them wet.

They should also put medical supplies in these bags. These supplies may include medicines for headaches, colds, and stomachaches, which are typically common when people stay in evacuation centers. They also need alcohol, band aids, and cotton, in case certain disasters cause them cuts, burns, or wounds.

They also need multi purpose tools that they can utilize to cut or fix something. They should also have maps with them so that they will know where they will go. The families should plan beforehand on where they will meet up in case these disasters separate them. All members should also know the contact details of important government agencies or persons.
