How To Get Ready For An Evacuation

March 14, 2022

We live in a world that’s filled with uncertainties. A natural disaster can occur at any time which may force us to evacuate our homes. As such, we must ensure that we’re always prepared. In the case, you need a “grab & go” survival kit that’s been especially creation for situations, The following contents are a must:

A – HAND CRANKED RADIO

You may need a hand-crank radio to tune into emergency notifications. Radio’s seldom lose signals and save use of a smartphone charge or when there’s no cell phone service. These radio’s cost an average of $30.

B – PAPER MAP & CONTACT PH#S

Again, to save smartphone use or when that option fails, the maps provide alternate ways of evacuating. (Important Tip: have every member of the family learn how to use one and practice reading them.) To jot down possible necessary phone numbers, be sure to include a couple to your employer, out of town family, your financial institution, utility companies, any family physicians and insurance carriers along with your account numbers.

C – TOILETRIES

Maintaining hygiene is EVERYTHING! It doesn’t take up that much space and is a huge assist in being able to emotionally cope. Our brand of soap, shampoo,deodorant & toothpaste outweighs comfort food and emotional support trinkets.

D – CLOTHING

This is where a quarterly update comes in to play. Dated medications & food needs replaced and clothing is seasonal plus size specific so needs rotated. Clothing choices should always be comfortable.

E – CASH & COINS

In a wide spread calamity, card use becomes disabled and obtaining cash is difficult. Place a wallet in your kit which includes smaller bills as store clerks may need you to tender exact cash.
