The future may bring any number of emergencies into your life and it is always best to be highly proactive and very prepared to face whatever comes your way. During an emergency, a 3 day survival kit will get you off on the right foot to maintain your entire family. It is this time period that is the most important and critical as help may take that long or longer to arrive.
An emergency could consist of an enemy attack, a nuclear or other bomb, or severe weather fluctuations such as a tornado, hurricane or tsunami. Whatever the case, the essential supplies and all of your necessary equipment on hand when these life-threatening event occur can be what saves the lives of yourself and your family.
You are going to need a variety of items to ensure your safety and sustainability. By having these at your disposal for even this short period will give you time to re-group and re-think your position and then react. You will be ready to take on so much more than other individuals who did not have the foresight to prepare for such occurrences. Necessary items will include food, first aid items, shelter and blankets, communication devices, food and food preparation equipment.
There are many companies that sell prepared sets of prep items for any type of emergency. They can be pricey but they do last for long periods of time and are very convenient. If you do not have these funds in your budget, select a variety of canned and dried foods that fit your needs and those of your family members. These can include powdered milk and drinks, canned fruits and vegetables, dried meats and fruits, and staples such as crackers and cereals. Always have jugs or containers of water on hand. Simply fill them and place them where they will be easily accessible. Keeping containers of water in your freezer will also help your frozen foods stay cold for several hours if the power goes off.
A good first aid box should include pain relief tablets, thermometer, band aids, gauze, rubbing alcohol and peroxide, tape, and scissors. Communication equipment should include a radio that can be operated by batteries or solar energy, two-way radios for communication between family members and extra cell phones with battery-powered chargers. Don't forget to stock up on those batteries.
Other items needed will include flashlights, matches, lighters, a hammer or hatchet, and a manual can opener. Sanitation items, soap, and baby and pet supplies may also be needed depending on your family dynamics. Always include contact information for other family members, personal documents such as drivers licenses, birth certificates and social security cards, and maps of the surrounding areas.
The type of shelter you require will depend on where you live and the type of emergency you are facing. You may or may not be able to stay in your home. If you are forced to leave, a tent is critical. Blankets or sleeping bags are also needed. Some emergency kits come with Mylar blankets for optimal heat.
Being proactive when it comes to natural or man-made emergencies is what will make a difference in your survival. Begin your preparations by assembling these items and others that are pertinent to your family's sustainability.
