Be Prepared when Disaster Strikes

JACKSON, Wis., Oct. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- After experiencing the force of Hurricane Florence; hurricane season makes disaster prep even more crucial and on the forefront of someone's mind.   A natural disaster can happen anywhere so, it is best to be prepared in any way possible. A great way to do this is to have a kit ready in case of any natural disaster.  There are plenty of pre-packed emergency prep kits but, in case you would like to customize your own the main components of a kit should include:

1. Always keep a flashlight; a crank-powered flashlight is the best option when it comes to longevity of a kit.  Electricity is usually one of the first things to get knocked out by an intense storm and, it can take a while before it gets turned back on.
2. Canned goods are imperative if electricity will be out for a while.
3. Always put any medications, inhalers, EpiPen's, etc. in a prep kit.
4. First aid supplies such as: band-aids, antiseptic, gauze, ointments, etc. are crucial to have in case of emergency.
5. In most cases, any natural disaster can end up causing the water to become contaminated with bacteria, viruses, Gardia, Cryptosporidium, and other life threatening microorganisms. To avoid contamination, chemical purification is the best option requiring the least amount of space. Potable Aqua offers a variety of different chemical purification options.
6. Blankets can be comforting as well as life-saving if there is a risk of being stranded without any heat. Mylar blankets are great in a situation where a regular blanket might get wet and, these can be purchased in multiple packs.
7. Whistle's can get someone attention when shouting won't. Not to mention these take up little to no space.

It's hard to feel fully prepared when a disaster strikes but by having an emergency preparedness kit ready you can have a little more piece of mind.
