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.

The person should be bringing his cellphone with him for him to be communicating with other people or government agencies about the situation. He should also be keeping extra batteries and a charger for him to be utilizing his cellphone. Apart from that, he should have a transistor radio for him to be aware of important announcements and events. He must have a flashlight in illuminating his way through the night.

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.

He should also be putting medical supplies in his bag. The supplies might be medicines for stomachaches, headaches, and colds, which are usually common when people are staying inside evacuation centers. He also needs cotton, alcohol, and band aids, in case he will have a cut, burn, or wound.

Multi purpose tools are also needed which could be utilized in different situations. Maps should also be possessed. Plans should be made beforehand by the families about where there meeting places will be if ever they get separated from each other. The contact information of important persons or government agencies should be known by all members.
