A storm is expected to hit your place. Electricity may go out and your neighbors are all freaked out. What do you need to do? Calm down and do not panic because you still have all the time to get everything covered. In times when a certain calamity is about to hit your place, the best thing to do is to be prepared. Usually, after we think we have gotten prepared the best we know how we then find out that we missed out on those small things which become important by their omission. Read on and be reminded of the simple yet very useful and important facts to remember for emergency preparedness. Flashlights

Without the electricity, everything will be dark, and thus your eyes will be of minimal help alone. How will you safely see your way around your home in the dark? How will you cook (assuming you have a gas stove) if you can not even see what you are doing? Since we use our eyes in almost all activities that we do, it is best to have flashlights to aid us. Also, make sure that you check that your flashlight bulbs are in good condition. You would not want to depend on a broken flashlight, right? You should also take time to stock extra batteries in case the power will be out for several days. Water

They say a man can live with no food but not without water; and this is an undeniable fact. It is advisable that you should stock gallons of drinking water for you and your family. This is because the water supply will surely be affected by the calamity. When you do this, you can also make sure that the water that you will be drinking is safe.

If there are still storage spaces left, a few gallons of water which will be used for activities such as bathing, washing the dishes and clothing, and brushing the teeth would be a good help too. Remember, a calamity is already enough. Acquiring diseases because of it is too much. You must do all the things you can to clean yourself and kill those germs. Canned goods

It is impractical to cook in the middle of a calamity. Thus, you must take time before a disaster to gather canned goods since they are easy to open and eat. Be certain to have a non-powered can opener for when the power is out. Jackets and other appropriate garments

Whether the weather is cold or not, it is best to have adequate clothing and blankets for the situation. This is one way to save you from unexpected injuries, sunburn or exposure. It may not be a one hundred percent assurance of being safe, but at least the damage will be lessened and you will be more comfortable. These things may be very simple, but most of the time, these are also the things that are neglected. When you try to plan to be without your accustomed comforts, try to be prepared for at least a seventy-two hour period without visiting a store. Longer is better if you do not want to be dependent on government agencies for help in the aftermath of a disaster. When you pair these things up with prayers and faith in the Lord, with no doubt, you will ready for any emergency.About the Author:
