Life often presents us with situations that we cannot control, whether they are man-made or natural. Natural disasters in particular have been in the headlines almost constantly in the last few years. While natural disasters will occur no matter what we do, there are measures we can take to limit the severity of the consequences. Preparation is the key determining factor for how well these measures will work. With that in mind, keeping an emergency kit nearby is a wise decision. Choosing the proper kit depends on geography and your personal situation. But, keep in mind that it will be too late to prepare and remain calm once the disaster has struck. Preparing ahead of time is essential to ensure success.
By being well prepared you can not only save your skin but also provide a helping hand to others when the help of local officials or rescue operators is yet to arrive. Most emergency survival kits are designed to contain the most vital of emergency supplies such as food, water, shelter, lighting, sanitation and other survival equipment. There are specialty emergency kits especially designed to meet disastrous situations like earthquakes, hurricane, and a pandemic or flu. Some of the specialty kits are listed below:
Child Care Safety Kit: This is an accessory kit with supplementary emergency supplies. These kits are specifically designed for the safety of young children. These tailor made disaster kits are designed to protect children from common dangers. The pack's contents may contain Child ID & Records Kit (help in identifying the missing or lost). Child sized water, food, child games, and a light stick. Also, I have seem some kits contain safety corner bumpers (helps in preventing most common household accidents), Child safety cabinet latches (ideal to be used in kitchens and bathrooms), a all purpose safety strap (keeps kids away from dangerous areas), automatic night light (provides light during a power shortage).
Earthquake Kit: People living in earthquake-prone areas should look into a disaster kit produced to reduce the impact of earthquakes on survivors. This type of emergency kit protects people and property from the damage an earthquake might inflict. Picture hooks, for example, help keep frames intact and non-toxic quake wax or adhesive fasteners can preserve antiques and other valuables during the shaking of a quake. Since falling and shifting furniture represents a real danger, many kits include furniture fastening straps to keep them in place. Power failure lights keep your surroundings visible, even in power lines have been cut or broken. A crow bar, a shovel and gloves may come in handy when dealing with debris. Finally, a survival guide, if studied carefully, can give users a good idea of how to best use the kit.
Hurricane Kit: Specifically designed kit with additional emergency supplies. All the supplies in the pack are specifically designed to protect the occupants from a hurricane and its aftermath. The pack includes a large duct tape, polythene tarp (can be used as a quick spot shelter), survival candle (usable during power cut), waterproof matches (burns even if completely drenched in water, also non toxic), axe (with a flattened head), safety goggles (protects eyes from harmful dust and debris), a folding shovel and a survival guide. It is not possible to keep all the emergency supplies therefore go for only those specialty kits that cater to your regional demands or your unique situation.
