The Importance Of Vital Family Survival Kits

By Ruthie Livingston


Emergency situations, whether they are triggered by man's actions or nature, are often unpredictable. Because they are often unpredictable, their impact can often prove devastating, especially for those who fail to prepare. Vital family survival kits can help you and your family to emerge victorious when the proverbial dust settles.

They help to reduce the impact that unfortunate occurrences such as floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes and fires can have on your loved ones. These unfortunate events have undesirable impacts on buildings and other property as well as plant and animal life. The best known way to safeguard against these unwanted impact is to be ready.

One of the most important features of these kits is first aid equipment. First aid items help in times of emergency because when persons are injured, they may not be able to access professional care immediately. This is because damage to the physical space as a result of collapsed power lines, impassable roads or collapsed buildings may make traveling to a clinic or hospital impossible.

Each disaster has its own unique duration and, for many of them, there is nothing that human beings can do but wait for the end. Once the end has come, the priority shifts from ensuring that you make it through the disaster to making sure that you survive in an environment that has been unfavorably altered. This is where a new survival mode kicks in for those who made it out of the actually disaster itself.

Another crucial aspect of survival for any family trying to weather a disaster is water. Waters is popularly described as the key to life. It is indeed a life sustaining liquid. With water, you can wash away bacteria and germs. This makes it one of the key resources for the post disaster survival stage.

Food is another important factor in the post disaster survival phase. After some disasters, food becomes a scarce commodity. This happens because food sources become cut off from the communities or the food sources become compromised in one way or another. Many persons who are numbered among the fatalities after a disaster has struck were not directly affected by the disaster itself. It is circumstances such as lack of access to food and clean water that leads to their demise.

Families that priorities preparedness often build entire storage units. In these units they store sufficient water and food to meet the family's needs after a disaster. These units are ideally disaster proof, meaning they have the ability to withstand most if not all potential disasters. They also vary in size and design based on the family's needs. Large families, for example, may require larger store houses. Some families prefer to have the storage facilities attached to the home while others don't.

Remember that disasters are no respecters of class color or nationality. Give your family a fighting chance at surviving disaster. Be prepared and increase your likelihood of surviving.
