10-16-13
WHEN DISASTER STRIKES, THERE’S A GOOD CHANCE THAT YOU’LL EITHER CHOOSE TO TAKE
SHELTER AT HOME, OR BE FORCED TO STAY PUT.
ADVANCE PREPARATION AND PLANNING WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY YOU AND
YOUR FAMILY RIDE OUT THE STORM. FOR STARTERS, YOU’LL NEED SOME BASIC SUPPLIES TO
HELP YOU SURVIVE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON:

“A disaster preparedness kit should contain fresh water and non-perishable food items enough to last
for about three days [26:16], a NOAA weather radio and flashlights and fresh batteries, a first aid kit
and any medications that you may need to last you for several days.”

“Because a power outage can come at any time with very little notice. Storms, obviously, can come
up with very little notice but infrastructure problems are becoming more frequent.”
BUTTED TO:
“One thing that we recommend that people invest in as part of a disaster preparedness kit is a source
of back-up power. A portable generator is something that many people are familiar with and can
access through many retailers and dealers. They can also invest in a permanently-installed automatic
home standby generator.”
THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO BE PREPARED BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES. THAT WAY YOU
HAVE THE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING THAT YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR HOME ARE
PROTECTED… WHATEVER MOTHER NATURE SENDS YOUR WAY.
