<div class='uawarticle'>Disaster can strike at any time and it's important to be prepared for the unexpected. A <A href="http://vitalfamilysurvivalkits.com">72 hour survival kit</A> is very easy to put together and should be stored in an accessible, safe place where it can be easily grabbed to go in an emergency. It's also important that everyone in the family knows where the kit is should anything happen.<br />
<br />
There are certain basic supplies that should be included in any emergency kit. Supplies should always be able to last for a minimum of three days, but some people like to prepare for at least two weeks' worth of survival. In any case, there are standard items that need to be a top priority in order to stay as safe and also as comfortable as possible during a disaster.<br />
<br />
You should be prepared for the possibility of no power and electricity when disaster strikes. As such, flashlights will be your best friend. You will also need extra batteries to recharge them. Try having more than one just in case. Candles and matches kept sealed and dry are also going to come in handy.<br />
<br />
Flashlights can also help to attract attention. Additionally, it may be worth considering adding flares or even a reflective triangle to the kit for the same purpose. They may come in handy when it's necessary to call for help. Reflective tape can be wrapped around arms and legs if desired.<br />
<br />
Of course you will need to pack enough water for you and your family. Many times during a disaster, clean water is the most difficult thing to find. You will need water for sanitation as well as for drinking. The general rule of thumb is a gallon per individual per day.<br />
<br />
A first aid kit is definitely needed in a kit during an emergency, as the chances of injury are increased. Bandages, gauze, bleach or alcohol as disinfectant, burn cream and cling wrap are highly recommended. A reflective blanket will be important should there be an injured individual who is unable to move and needs to keep warm. Also put in the necessary tools like scissors to cut the bandages and also a medicine dropper. If anyone requires prescription medicine, make sure it's in there.<br />
<br />
In terms of food, it's very important to pack the right kinds of nourishment for times like these. All food items should be non-perishable, such as canned foods with lots of liquid content, dry foods like crackers with no salt and nuts and energy bars. Whole grain cereals, granola and peanut butter are also recommended. Include water and pet food for the family pet as well.<br />
<br />
Finally, a kit should include blankets or sleeping bags and additional clothing, particularly for inclement weather. A battery-operated radio is a good way to listen for emergency announcements and messages and a fully charged cell phone can be of great help, as well as a map of the area. Consider keeping a kit in the car as well as in the house just in case an emergency strikes while on the road.<br />
