By Lucia Weeks


Tragedies could be happening anywhere and anytime. These disasters might be tsunamis, fires, floods, and typhoons, among others. In most cases, these events are claiming countless human lives and damaging millions, even billions, worth of properties. Even if certain instruments could be detecting the probability of several tragedies, people should be preparing themselves all the time.

Information on what should be done by people before, during, and after the calamities are typically disseminated by local and national governments. A 3 day survival kit would be one. Individuals should ensure that their kits contain the following things.

The individual should be buying a bag where he will be putting his necessities. He should see to it that he will be buying a durable bag. In this manner, all of his belongings will be remaining inside the container and will not be falling off from it. He might also have to be buying a water proof one for his things not to be getting wet in case of a heavy rain or flood.

Usually, an evacuation center will not be providing clean water. In this case, he should be bringing his own clean water for him to be quenching his thirst while staying in the said center. He should be bringing one gallon per one day for himself. He should also be storing non perishable food like noodles and canned goods. In the case of the latter, he should be bringing a can opener for him to be eating them.

Their cellphones should be brought by the persons so that government authorities or others could be communicated with about these situations. Chargers and extra batteries should also be kept so that their cellphones can still be utilized. Aside from that, transistor radios should also be present so that important events and announcements will be known to them. Flashlights should also be available for their nights to be illuminated.

They should also have copies of their personal documents. These documents include their birth certificates, identification cards, marriage certificates, insurance policies, passports, and others. These will help the government agencies to identify these people and provide them with whatever help that they may need.

Even if a disaster is happening, he should still be observing cleanliness for him not to be getting sick, especially during a typhoon or flood. He should be carrying stuff for sanitation and personal hygiene, like alcohol, toothbrush, wet wipes, and others. He should also be carrying extra clothes for him to be changing into dry ones if he gets wet from the rain.

Medical supplies should also be put in the bags. The supplies could include medications for common illnesses that are experienced by people in evacuation centers such as headaches, stomachaches, and colds. Cotton, band aids, and alcohol are also needed in case wounds, burns, or cuts are caused to them by certain disasters.

He also needs a multi purpose tool for cutting or fixing something. He should have a map with him. He should be planning beforehand on where he will be meeting up with his family members in case they are separated. All other members should be aware of the contact information of essential persons and agencies.
