 Disaster preparedness is something that all families should talk about regularly. Whether the threat is fire, flood, invasion by an enemy force or any other kind of disaster, being prepared can save the lives of your family members. It also helps to reduce fear and panic when something does happen, enabling your family to respond with intelligence and efficiency.
Preparing Your Children
Disasters can be particularly traumatic for children, many of whom are already beginning to feel that much of the world is outside of their control. When disaster strikes, and it becomes clear that parents cannot always prevent things like fires, floods and earthquakes from affecting the family, they can become especially vulnerable.
That is why it’s particularly important to talk with your children about the possibility of a disaster. Explain to them that a disaster may cause damage or even hurt people. Talk to them about what might happen during an emergency, such as phone and electrical service being shut off. Also, make certain they are aware that emergency personnel are working to help them at all times during a disaster. Help them to understand that firefighters, paramedics and police are (Read more....) […]
 Contemplating a natural disaster may not be fun, but it can grant you tremendous peace of mind should a disaster strike. Having a plan is the best way to protect yourself and your family. Accordingly, it makes sense to plan ahead by doing a little bit of preparing for the worst.
1. Know Your Region
Some regions of the world are susceptible to tsunamis while others are more likely to see earthquakes. Still other areas might be subject to tornadoes or hurricanes. Knowing what types of natural disasters you are likely to encounter is the first step to being prepared. Your preparations may vary slightly depending upon whether you are more vulnerable to forest fires or floods. However, the basic needs for food, clothing, shelter and medical supplies will apply regardless of the type of emergency.
2. Learn CPR and Basic First Aid
Many local organizations provide free or low cost training for CPR and first aid. You’ll learn how to clean wounds and place bandages in addition to how to provide life saving CPR. Even when no natural disaster is imminent, these skills can save a life. These classes do not require a lot of time, but the dividends they may (Read more....) […]

 Why earthquake safety preventing measures should be taken long before any earthquake begins, there are certain rules you need to obey while the effective shaking takes place. Do not count on advice that you may have heard from anecdotal sources. When an earthquake is very violent, you cannot afford taking chances. Here are the emergency steps experts recommend, as part of the Drop, Cover and Hold On procedure.
Drop
When an earthquake starts, the shaking can be so violent that it can knock you down. You can prevent this from happening by dropping to your arms and knees as soon as you feel the first shakes. While this may seem like an exaggeration to you, the truth is that you have much more stability if you are helping yourself with both arms and legs. The intensity of the earthquake is likely to be more powerful than you imagine, and holding yourself steady on both your feet may be harder to achieve.
Cover
The second step you need to undertake when an earthquake starts is to cover your head, neck, and body to protect them from injury. If you cannot find a proper place to hide your entire body, such as a desk or a sturdy table, at least protect your head and neck. Specialists (Read more....) […]
