When a disaster occurs, you need to be ready. You need to be ready to leave any place that is dangerous for some other place that you can, hopefully, survive. You need to be ready to ensure your family is safe. You need to be ready to handle this kind of situation and time is of the essence, so you need to think about this now. You need a disaster survival kit, often called a bug out bag, sitting where you can find and grab it quickly.
Survivalists say that you need a three day supply of food, water and things to handle whatever is happening. That should be considered a minimum amount, but there are critical items that must be in this kit. Looking at these things will help you understand how important a properly thought out plan is for you.
The need for water, at least a gallon a day for each person, can not be overlooked. You can go a for a few days without having a shower and a bath can be found in a local river, lake or stream, however, drinking water is vital for any survival attempt. Finding a running source of water, such as that clean river or stream will be critical, but taking bottled water will be the first line of defense.
The use of purification pills for water is something to be explored. These are readily available from many sources, both off line and on. You will place the appropriate number of pills in the bottle and fill with water from a running water source. The container is closed and shaken and then it will need to sit for a while. Bleach is something that can be packed and it will also help with sanitizing water for use.
Pack enough food for three days as well as the water. Do not pack a lot of canned goods as these will weigh everyone down. The dried snacks that most everyone has in their kitchen cabinets are a good choice. Most of these are fairly nutritious and they are lightweight. These are often dehydrated and can be eaten dry or re hydrated with a little water. They may not be as nice as a big beef sandwich, but they are life sustaining.
Dehydrated food, such as are available from many survivalist stores, are light enough. You can often pack an entire week worth of food in one back pack. These items are formulated to provide enough nutrients to survive for a short time and most of them do taste fine.
You will need a tent or tarp to drape over something for protection from rain and other weather conditions. Most people succumb to the elements when they are constantly on the move like you may have to be. A bed roll or sleeping bag for each member of your party is crucial. You might be on that run for quite some time and you will need the rest that a warm bed provides.
You will also need any medications that any member of your family needs. A first aid kit is vital because of things that just seem to happen whenever you are in a hurry. A can opener, if you have cans of things, can often be overlooked in hasty preparations. A hand crank radio is needed to learn how things are going and will help you understand when and where you need to aim your journey.
