September is National Preparedness Month
Every year, Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling of Palm Springs participates in National Preparedness Month in September to spread the word to individuals and families about the importance for being ready for disasters.
The program is sponsored by The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Ready Campaign. Visit www.Ready.gov for information.
The key is to be informed and have a plan that you and your family discuss and practice. It is equally important to have an Emergency Ready Kit stocked and ready in case a disaster strikes. Below is a quick list of the items that every Emergency Ready Kit should contain.
- Water – one gallon per person per day for at least three days
- Food – at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
- First aid kit – to include bandages; sterile gloves; antibiotic ointment; iodine/alcohol pads; medical tape; pain reliever; emergency blanket; thermometer; prescription medications, and other prescribed medical supplies.
- Clothing – A change of clothing and a sleeping bag for each person
- Battery-powered or hand crank radio, a NOAA Weather Radio, extra batteries
- Cell Phone and charger
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- Filter masks – to cover mouth and nose
- Heavy weight garbage bags, plastic sheeting and duct tape – to protect against debris and toxins
- Waterproof, portable containers – for critical documents such as IDs, insurance policies, bank account records, computer backup files, emergency and law enforcement information, and other priority documents. Store a second set of records at an off-site location.
