The Contents Of A Disaster Survival Kit

By Ruthie Livingston


It is very important to be prepared for disaster as these situations are becoming more and more common in the current times. It is a sad fact that not many people give this much attention. In fact, according to research less than half of the population does not have a disaster kit and for those who have, they are lacking something or in a desperate shape. Many campaigns should be directed towards encouraging people to get disaster survival kit.

Cheap survival kits make the person believe that she or he is better prepared for anything. It is very important to confirm the worthiness of the supplies in case an emergency occurs. These situations are very bad at times and it would be so unfortunate for the materials to become dysfunctional right when you need them a lot.

Another common problem with the kits many people have is the lack of the basic supplies. Foodstuffs and water are very essential for survival following a disaster. It is thus vexing that many of the kits come with a deficiency of water and food supply. A remedy to these would be adding your own proteins bars which are high in calories. Life straw should be included to enable you to take water from any water body in case bottled water runs short during the disaster.

Cheaply made kit contents should be avoided like plague. Consider the quality of the supplies, the availability of all the supplies, the state the contents are in and how the kit has been assemble together. If the above mentioned aspects are wanting, then you have no business purchasing such a kit. You will be throwing your money to an unworthy cause and you also will not be helping yourself.

The kits made at home many a time do not live up to the recommended standards. They have the wrong supplies or worse still lack them completely. There have been cases of people buying these kits only to realize that even the most basic things like water and food are not present. Other times, the supplies it comes with a totally different from what was ordered. It is therefore good to check if the kit has all that was advertised before buying them.

A good alternative is getting the supplies for the emergency kit on your own. You should include the necessary gear starting with the most important ones. One good thing about building your own kit is the fact that you will be well conversant with the materials. Make sure you add something to the kit on a weekly basis. Before long, you will be set to face any disaster which can possibly occur.

The supplies to be included in the kit are not that hard to get to. It is just that many people are lazy to go looking for them or are just plain ignorant. The local stores are very good places to get this materials and at a cheaper price. You may find that by building your own kit you end up spending less than if you had bought it already packed. Also, you are assured of the quality of the products and how to use them.

Getting through a disaster can be much better if you have prepared adequately for the situation. Many a times, it is difficult for help to get to you given the high degree of destruction caused. Being prepared can save your friends life too.
