Disaster Preparedness and Survival by DisasterRx.com
The power of having a Disaster Survival Kit in your home equals
the power to save a life. Most people are not prepared to face disaster. Disasters
are real. Disasters claim lives. Disaster Preparedness is your responsibility
and my responsibility. It cannot wait. Be active, make a plan, get
informed and
educated, and definitely make sure you pick up some survival basics and
essentials - a disaster survival kit.
Our goal is to encourage disaster preparedness for the
best chance of survival for all - because every person needs the basics of life
- food and water, shelter and warmth, first aid. Every person deserves that
chance.
Your life and that of your family's lives, is in your
hands. It is not safe to assume that someone else will be there with necessary
survival essentials and emergency supplies in the moments, days, or weeks that
might matter the most. We believe every home should have at least one survival
kit with emergency supplies, emergency first aid kit, emergency food and water
for survival, and some basic survival necessities.
Our goal is for every home to have a survival kit and
survival essentials. We will start with the goal of reaching one million homes,
and we will continue working, so that every home and every man, woman, and child
has the same fighting chance if and when they should ever have to face a
disaster or emergency situation. Make a plan, get informed and educated,
talk to your loved ones and inform them....get some basic life saving essentials
to store in your home, in your car, at your work, at your child's
school.

Disaster can strike any time and
anywhere, and any family. While we may not have control over these disastrous events,
natural disasters, and manmade disasters, we do have control over whether we
are prepared to survive through disaster preparedness - because everyone deserves that
chance. We cannot guarantee our safety or survival, however disaster preparedness and
survival basics allows us the very best chance for survival in the face of
disasters.
Humanity is faced
with a variety of potential disasters or threats which include natural
disaster such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and many more different disastrous
threats. Another type of threat would be for example,
the threat of chemical or biological attack, or one we've only recently
started thinking about again, economic depression or economic disaster. No matter
the type of threat, disasters or emergency situations can strike quickly and
unexpectedly, and often help is not able to reach people, or survivors, quickly
enough.
The deadliest hurricane since
1928, Katrina, claimed 1,836 lives with many more people missing. There
were a lot of survivors who found themselves without help
or relief for hours and days - without emergency food or
emergency drinking water, and other emergency supplies. As many survivors waited for help to
arrive, hours turned to days. While we cannot change the outcome
of that tragedy, we can learn some important lessons from it. It should help motivate
us all to be active and take responsibility for protecting our life and the lives of
our loved ones - to the best of our ability. One important step in disaster
preparedness is to make sure our home, our car, our workplace - all have a disaster relief kit
or survival kit, along with emergency supplies, a first aid kit, and including survival
basics like emergency drinking water and emergency food and emergency warmth.
Give a priceless gift! A survival
kit or disaster relief kit is a unique gift for a friend or loved one. It's a
gift that everyone needs, though they may not realize just how important it is.
Make sure your friends and loved ones are aware of how important disaster
preparedness is, and the importance of having a survival kit or disaster relief
kit.
As
parents and spouses, friends and family - we are guardians and we need to take
that responsibility seriously. While some emergencies come in the form of big
natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes - they can also come
in the form of an emergency that is just as urgent - such as a car accident, or
getting stranded in your car, in a boat, on a mountain, in the woods,or on the
water.
An emergency or disaster can happen at any time. Be prepared.
Without the necessary basic survival tools and emergency supplies, the accident,
emergency, or disaster can be more costly. There is no way to guarantee survival
in any event, but being prepared by having some basic necessary items could make
the difference in saving our lives, or the lives of our loved ones.
