Basics Of Earthquake Survival Kit

By April Briggs


Earthquakes are one of the biggest calamities in the world. When such a disaster occurs it really takes people a thousand steps back since many victims end up losing everything. Endurance should be a part of peoples plan when they occur. People are always advised to always have a survival kit somewhere for emergencies. The basics of earthquake survival kit are many as seen below.

A bag should also be part of the stuff packed. This is because that is where everything else will be carried. The person who wants to prepare the earthquake endurance kit needs to consider a number of factors when buying the bag. The bag pack needs to be of high quality. The material used in making the bag needs not to be heavy to make it as light as possible.

Torch and new batteries are not supposed to miss on the list. A person could get stuck in an area with darkness. Torches help out in such situations. They provide a source of light which aid people in looking for their way out. Rescue teams are always sent to save victims when earthquakes occur. Torch act as an indicator of making it known to them that there are victims available on that area.

In such disasters, first-aid kit must be part of the earthquake endurance kit. People get injuries in such incidents. This first-aid kit may not contain all the medications but they help in reducing complications. A persons injury could lead to infections if immediate medications are not done. It is the uses of this that make people survive during earthquakes.

Water is said to be life. Without is people cannot survive on earth. It is therefore due to this reason water has to be on the bag pack. It must be stored on bottles. One needs to be careful for the water not to make the bag pack so heavy to carry. Water for several days can keep a person going for long. If not a person concentrates on looking for water to drink instead of rescuers to help them from the incidents. Survivors are always urged to look for safer places to stay inn after the disasters. This is as a safe measure incase another one occurs impromptu.

Food also must be on the list. Food is the source of a persons energy. Without food for a long time it reduces the surviving chances. It is for this reason that victims should carry food to make their bodies function in the normal. If any changes should occur to the body they should be very minimal. The food packed has to be for several days and as light as possible. If a person carries canned food the weight should be checked to ensure that it is not heavy.

It is important for cell phones to be available on the list. A victim could contact emergencies contacts to alert them of the disaster. It is their duty to ensure that the phone has the contacts saved well on them. Phones end up saving victims of earthquakes. This is because the people contacted make an effort of telling those responsible of the catastrophe and that there are people who need rescue.

It is important to carry survival kits. The stuff keeps the person going for a longer time. Ignorance leads to many victims deaths. That is why this preparation needs to be taken seriously.
