I have been searching on preparing an emergency disaster kit, and thought it would be nice if we could have a thread where everyone could share their knowledge and clarify any doubts.
So far, I've found that an emergency kit should atleast have the following:
- Torch light
- Radio
- Extra Batteries
- General Medicines
- Maps
- Water(2 to 3 liter per person)
- Food
- Whistle
- Knife
My concerns are:
- How to make find the bag in night, in case of a disaster? How to make it "glow in dark"?
- Many websites recommend having documents related to identity in it. Would that be safe?
- What are the other essential things to be included?
- How to store water, making sure it is drinkable at the time of a disaster? Packed bottles(Bisleri, Aquafina) are the only options?
- How to store food?, making sure it is eatable at the time of a disaster? Obviously I'm looking for ways by which they last for weeks, if not months.
