Emergency Survival Guide

Disaster Emergency Preparedness Guide

The dsaster emergency survival pack is based on military preparedness––soldiers carried emergency survival supplies when involved in military operations to allow them to protect themselves, to provide the necessities to take care of their personal needs, and to complete their assigned mission. For the average citizen, it’s a ready-to-use package containing food and water rations, supplies, and such other vital equipment for maintaining personal well-being
—or, at least, staying alive when forced into extremely dangerous or uncontrollable circumstances. The idea of individuals and families having emergency disaster survival kits is based on the firm—and confirmed—belief that natural disasters and personal emergencies is not a matter of whether they will happen, but when. Having a few basic categories of supplies and provisions on hand can mitigate that helpless feeling caused by emergencies. Being prepared reduces the panic associated with the occurrence of seemingly uncontrollable events.

In a complete readiness plan, one would have survival kits available for all possible situations:

• at home at work
• at play in the car / truck
• traveling by boat / bus / plane / train at school / college
• when on vacation / hotel / overnight

When designing or purchasing an emergency survival kit, consider the level of personal preparedness you wish to achieve for yourself or your family. A most important aspect of an emergency survival kit is that it be able to keep you alive and well when you are confronted with a netural emergency or disaster survival situation. Use this guide to organize your own Emergency Preparedness Action Kit (E/PAK) –our version of the 72-hour kit. Or, you can purchase one that meets your needs.
