Food
Store enough emergency food to feed your family for at least 3 days:
-
Ready to eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables
-
Canned juices, milk and soup
-
High energy foods, such as peanut butter, jelly,
crackers, granola bars and trail mix
-
Comfort foods, such as hard candy, sweetened
cereals, candy bars and cookies
-
Dried foods (select carefully as some have high
salt content)
-
Instant meals that don't require cooking or water
-
Vitamins
-
Protein or fruit bars
-
Nuts
Water
-
Store 1 gallon or
water per person and pet per day
-
Seal water
containers tightly in a clean food grade plastic container, label
them with a date, and store in a cool, dark place
-
Rotate water
supplies every six months. (water can develop algae from microscopic
cracks in the container)
-
Keep a small bottle
of unscented liquid bleach to purify the water. (add eight drops of
bleach to each gallon of water. Shake or stir. Let stand 30 minutes)
Maintaining Contact
-
Determine the best
two escape routes from your home
-
Plan where to meet
if your home becomes unsafe, choose two places, one just outside
your home and one outside your neighborhood
-
Designate a contact
person far enough away to not be affected by the same emergency.
Instruct family members to call this person and tell them where they
are
-
If you have a cell
phone, include an emergency contact in your phonebook. Put the
letters ICE for "in case of emergency" before a person's name to let
rescuers know whom to contact
