Survival Kit Information

Disasters happen anytime and anywhere. Is your family prepared to cope with an emergency until help arrives? You need to prepare now, before a disaster strikes. Put together a disaster supplies kit. When you’ve gathered supplies, discuss an emergency plan. Then you will be better able to stay at home with no water or electricity.

Preparing a Disaster Kit

Use the following checklist, as a guide to see what supplies your family will need. To be ready for a disaster, you will need to stock the basics: water, food, first aid supplies, clothing and bedding, emergency supplies and tools, and special items. You will need these items if your family is confined at home.

Water Supplies and Berkey Water Filters

Water is the most important item. Store water in a plastic container, such as clean soft drink bottles, and avoid using containers that could contaminate the water, decompose, or break. To keep stored water fresh, change it every 6 months.

A normally active person needs to drink at least 2 quarts of water each day. If it’s hot and you are very active, you need twice as much. Children, nursing mothers. and sick people will need more.

Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day (2 quarts for drinking and 2 quarts for food preparation, washing dishes, and bathing) Two gallons per person is better.

• Keep at least a 3-day supply of water for each person in your household , more if you have a place to store it.
• Include bleach for purifying additional water if supplies run out.
• Coffee filters may be used to remove sediment before purifying water.
• You will need extra fuel for boiling water if stored supply runs out.
• Include a medicine dropper or 1/8 tsp. and 1/4 tsp. measuring spoons for measuring bleach.

If the main water line was turned off before the emergency, the water in pipes will be safe to use. Water in the hot water heater and toilet tank (not the bowl) also should be safe. When purifying water, use 16 drops from a medicine dropper or 1/4 teaspoon of chlorine bleach for each gallon of water. If the water is not clear even after filtering, double the amount of purifying agent. If a slight bleach odor does not remian after 30 minutes, do not use the water.

Food for Survival, Foods for Storage, Food Rationing

Keep a 2-week supply of nonperishable food at home in case of a disaster. Since gas or electricity could be off during an emergency, select foods that require no refrigeration, preparation or cooking, and little or no water. Rotate the food with newly purchased food supplies to ensure freshness. You may need some fuel source, if you want to heat food.

Buy the size container that can be used in one meal.

Make sure you purchase foods that you and your family like, as well as foods that have a long shelf-life. Because they contain liquids, canned fruit, vegetables, and fruit juices are excellent choices.

Consider the following for your Disaster Supply Kit

• Ready-to-eat canned fruits and vegetables
