What would you take? Where are your important documents? Would you have to search through a drawer of bag filled with all kinds of stuff to get your birth certificate, passport or marriage certificate? Do you have a kit packed with essentials that you can just grab and go?
Peace of mind when it comes to adverse circumstances is part of the battle to getting through emergency situations. It is wise to be prepared and have a plan in place for emergencies. I am going to share some information with you that will help you to have peace of mind in emergency situations. I am going to walk you step by step with some questions that will help you think through what you need to do. The best time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens.
Here are your questions:
1. Do you have a plan for getting out of the house? Does everyone know it ? Do you have an emergency bag of food and water for your family? Include wholesome snacks and treats for the children: dried fruit, nuts, peanut butter, crackers and granola bars.
2. If you have pets, are your pet carriers and leashes readily available to lead pets to safety? Do you have some pet food in portable sizes to take with you?
3. Do you keep negatives or CDs of pictures in a lock box or at a family member's home? Do you have picture albums in one place ready to grab and go at a moments notice?
4. Do you have all your important papers in a lock box at a bank or other safe place and only keep copies at the house? This keeps you from panicking. If you have them at home then put them in a folder that you can easily grab if you have to move fast. Color code it so you can find it!
5. Are your medications easily accessible to take with you? Don't forget the ones that have to be refrigerated like insulin. Do you have a small ice chest and cold packs readily accessible to pack and go? If you have babies; remember their formula or medications.
6. Do you keep a stash of cash for emergencies? Do you have it in a place where you can easily grab it and go. You may not be able to use an ATM in the event of a power outage. Does your car always have a half a tank of gas?
7. Do you have raincoats, boots, caps/hats in case it's rainy weather at the time you may have to leave? If you have babies do you have diapers? What about your children's favorite blanket, stuffed animal or toy? What about a game or deck of cards to keep you or them occupied and calm?
8. Do you have all the information you will need -- from phone numbers and insurance numbers to important dates in a planner/calendar or some sort of journal? Calendars/planners/journals are small and can easily be taken with you.
9. For women who still have that time of the month -- do you have an extra box/packet of your preferred protection? It may be hard to find if you have been evacuated and at a shelter. Don't forget medication for cramps too.
10. Are your cell phones always charged up? Do you have an extra battery or charger in your car? Do you have a battery powered radio and plenty of batteries for it?
One of the most important things to have is a clear calm head. Being prepared using these 10 areas as a guideline will keep you calm. Being at peace will make things less stressful. Your children need to see you calm and collected, it will help keep them calm too.
Think about these questions and take care of as much of these things as you are able. Take baby steps and do what you can. The resulting peace is oh so worth it.
These questions are mind joggers to get you thinking about how to be better prepared for emergency situations. Other things may come to your mind that pertain to your particular lifestyle. Write them down and take care of them in a timely manner. You deserve peace of mind! You deserve to have your mind free to focus on the more important things in life!
BE PREPARED!
