Be Prepared!
Preparedness is everyone's job.
Not just government agencies but
all sectors of society -- service
providers, businesses, civic and
volunteer groups, industry and neighborhood
associations, as well as every individual
citizen should plan ahead for disaster.
During the first few hours or days
following a disaster, essential
services may not be available. People
must be ready to act on their own.
One of the most overlooked preparedness
kits is the car kit. You should
have a car kit for each vehicle
in your household. You should also
try to maintain at least 1/2 a tank
of gas during winter weather events.
Suggested items include a first-aid
kit and manual, fire extinguisher,
radio and batteries, non-perishable
food stored in a coffee can or other
container, bottled water, bag of
sand or kitty litter, deicer or
salt, shovel and other tools, blankets
or sleeping bags, a sundry kit that
includes paper and pencil, map,
tissues, moist towelettes, plastic
bags and essential medications,
flashlights and batteries, reflectors
or flares, tire repair kit, waterproof
matches and candles, jumper cables,
tow rope and short rubber hose for
siphoning. Be sure to keep copies
of important documents that concern
your automobile in your glove box.
