You don't find yourself thinking about disaster emergency supplies until you're in a disaster, and by that time, it's often too late. This is a key reason why it is so important to prepare yourself, family, office, or pets for the worst. Wishing you were prepared isn't going to do anyone any good. Survival-supply.com offers a variety of disaster emergency kits and survival kits to keep you and your loved ones safe when disaster strikes. We provide disaster emergency kits for all types of situations including earthquakes and hurricanes. We have kits built specifically for the office, DHS, trauma, and pets. We even have kits designed to help you through the aftermath, which could last longer than the actual disaster.
Disaster emergency kits are built differently than a standard first aid pack; that being said, it is important to know what you have in your kit and how to use it. Not every kit is the same, which is why so many people prefer to build their own. If this is the case, you need to know what essentials are most important to include. The first word one thinks of when considering disasters is survival, so when building your pack, try to think of the essentials for human life: water, food, shelter, warmth, and medicinal needs. You may also want to include items that provide illumination and navigation, as well as tools that aid in daily tasks. Length of survival depends on the quantity of supplies, as well as how many people will be utilizing the pack.
If you decide to purchase one of our packs online, you can view the contents as well as the expected duration of the pack. If you are building your own disaster emergency kit, and are having a hard time finding supplies, you can purchase gear, bags, tools, water, and food from our website. How long your pack lasts will depend on how much you pack. FEMA advises that every disaster emergency kit has a three day supply if food and water, a battery powered radio, a first-aid kit, a whistle and a local map. Aside from the necessities, FEMA also advises kit builders to including items like important personal documents, cash, fresh clothing, infant supplies, and pet supplies, extra bedding or blankets and prescription medications. Being prepared for an emergency may be the difference between life and death, so make sure you build your kit in advance. Consider all types of disaster situations when choosing which items to include in your kit, and don't be afraid to up-grade in size, either. You never can be too prepared.
