By Karen Schmidt


In life, disaster can strike at any moment without warning. The geographical issues the area you are in is prone to facing, such as flooding, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires are vital factors to consider when deciding what goes into the emergency bank. It is necessary to create a good emergency supply kit and have it ready at any moment. The variables to consider in creating a cute may make sense in one place but may not be recommendable in another. However, some basic items should be included in perhaps all emergency bags. On this note, here is how to pack emergency Go Kits.

Almost everyone considers water to be life. Almost all organizations that operate professionally will agree on how important portable water is, and they always have several gallons. Storage of water can be helpful, especially when there is a life or death situation. For people who foresee a lot of movement, they are advised to have a portable filtration system. If they have access to running water, filters may be of use, especially due to their unlimited access. Iodine water purification tablets and purification straws can be used to purify water in a container.

Second, to water, the next essential thing needed for survival is food. Packing nonperishable food that can last several days is vital. Food can be in various forms, and despite this, it is advised to pack dense calorie food preferably. Packing several boxes of energy bars can be a reliable, better tasting option.

Lighting is also critical, and you must have a reliable source available. The most suitable options in primitive areas or around homes for emergency lighting are tea candles and flashlights. Headlamps are compact and could also be an excellent free up the hands option. Lack of vision is something that can make even the least problems difficult when you are in the dark. A headlamp is perfect even though a flashlight could also significantly help.

Carrying a solar charger can come in handy. This is especially true for situations where there is no access to reliable power or electrical outlets. Modern day solar chargers can charge several small devices such as phones, torches, and tablets. If anticipated that there will be little sunlight, the next best option is using rechargeable battery packs. As with everything else in the bag, it is prudent to check it every few months in case the items have become outdated or the batteries have gone flat.

You should never forget to pack medical supplies. Health is paramount, ensure enough medicines with their prescriptions are packed, life is precious. You can also add tweezers, glucose, blood pressure monitors, painkillers, and scissors. Ensure you have you have your kit ready in advance.

Even though often overlooked, emergency whistles might come in handy. Suppose your cell phone battery gets drained or there is no service, you can still use a signaling whistle. This can help alert emergency rescue crews on your location and also to locate other hazardous conditions.

An area with natural disaster, airborne debris, and fumes from accidents will require dust masks to prevent respiratory risks. Advanced masks will filter small particles while necessary surgical masks will suffice. Having an idea of what will be filtered is vital since you will know which mask is needed.
