Widespread emergencies can be different in nature, but the impacts are often the same (loss of electricity, contaminated food, food shortages, evacuation, mass casualties). Our goal therefore is to prepare for the impacts regardless of the cause. Our basic needs include: food, water, shelter, light, heating/cooling, air, sleep and hygiene/sanitation. Supporting needs include: medicine/first aid, communication, electrical power, financial security, transportation and protection.
The first thing that should come to mind is your 72 hour kit. We will work on this together. Again, your 72 hour kit isn't just about needing food - you need much more than that - but we will take care of that need in the easiest way possible, with MRE's or freeze dried meals and a water bottle that can filter water from nearly any source. This method prevents rotation issues, is light weight and also takes up less room in your pack.
Here we break down Emergency Prep into 2 categories: Personal Emergency and Widespread Emergency Prep.
Personal Emergency Prep is for situations that effect only your family: house fire, isolated power loss, job loss, . Widespread Emergency Prep includes things like: flood, earthquake, power outages, water treatment plant contamination,
We get the bulk of this information from the book: Handbook to Practical Disaster Preparedness for the Family, 2nd Edition.
Personal Emergency Prep:
1. Stay Alert = Stay Alive! Be informed, pay attention, monitor local and national events.
FIRE
1. Each family member must be able to escape unassisted. Kids should stay at bedroom windows and throw out a stuffed animal for firefighters to find.
2. For general home protection, use ABC extinguishers and be sure to shake them every 6 months to keep them active.
3. Make a video of every room in your house. Give a copy to your insurance provider and keep a copy off the premises.

1. This is decided by one simple question: Is it safer to stay or to go?
