The Essentials for Long Term Preparations
While the United States government and many disaster organizations
recommend a three-day emergency kit, some people want to be prepared to
survive in a long term emergency. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks
or biological attacks could takes months or years to recover from, and
people will need to be prepared to survive for more than three days.
Making long term preparations and stocking up on essentials before an
emergency occurs is the best option for people that want to be ready for
anything.
Food
The most immediate need for people in an emergency is having enough food
stored and the resources to replenish this food. Every person or family
should have enough food to last each person for at least three months,
but preferably longer. In addition, there should be resources to grow
and/or catch food as well. Seeds that are being stored to be planted for
gardens need to be stored so they do not spoil and should not be hybrid
or genetically modified, as those kinds of seeds will only be able to
be planted once, and there should be plenty of variety in the seeds so
that all essential nutrients and minerals can be provided, like in the
Garden Survival Seeds - 20 Varieties pack.
Water
Water will be needed for cooking and cleaning and bathing, but it must
be clean and purified water. Stored water will eventually run out so
water filtration and purification systems will be crucial to maintaining
a clean water supply. Water needs to be stored in containers like the
185 Gallon Emergency Water Storage Tank that are clean and sturdy so it
can survive disasters like earthquakes or falling debris. Once the
stored water has run out, replacing it will require something like the
Katadyn Pocket Microfilter that can purify water at a rate of one liter
per second, or the Potable Aqua purification tablets to use when the
microfilter is not available.
Medical Supplies
In a long lasting emergency, it is unlikely that doctors or hospitals
will be available to care for the sick or wounded. Having a well-stocked
first-aid kit and supplies can mean the difference between life and
death in an emergency. It is possible to buy a pre-packed emergency
Survivor Emergency Kit-1 Person , or to build a personalized one with
anything from a Influenza Protection Kit to a toothache kit. At the
absolute minimum, every kit should include disinfectant, gauze,
bandages, splints, iodine, scissors, water purification tablets, gloves
and medical tape.
Emergency Power
Losing power during an emergency means not having to do without or
supplying your own power. A simple solar charger can supply power during
a sunny day, but a portable solar charger like the Goal 0 Scout 150
Adventure Kit will store this power for use at any time. Larger
emergency power kits are available, with up to 20,000 available hours of
use from the Goal 0 Base Camp Kit that has been tested in some of the
most extreme environments on earth and will certainly be able to handle
any emergency situation.
