Jim Griffin of Paul Davis Emergency Services
recommends the following safety tips:
• Take Action - Know the specific hazards and risks in your area.
• Build an Emergency Ready Kit - both at home and in the car -
that includes at least three days of water, food and first aid supplies
to help you survive if you lose power or get stranded in your car.
• Be an example - Be a positive influence in your community by sharing
your preparedness story on social media to help others learn how to
prepare for an emergency.
• Get involved - Find out how you can promote preparedness
in your community through the American Red Cross and
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).
For a basic emergency kit:
• Water - one gallon per person per day for at least three days
• Food - include packaged, non-perishable food
• Clothing - change of clothing and a sleeping bag for each person
• Radio - battery-powered or hand crank radio, a NOAA Weather Radio
• Cell phone and charger
• Flashlight
• Batteries - for the flashlight, radio and any other electronics
• First aid kit - sterile gloves, adhesive bandages, antibiotic ointment,
gauze pads, iodine/alcohol pads, medical tape, pain reliever, emergency
Mylar blanket, thermometer, prescription medications and supplies
• Portable waterproof containers - for IDs, insurance policies, bank account
records, site maps, employee contacts, computer backup files, emergency
and law enforcement information, and priority documents. Store a second
set of records off-site.
