Useful tips for preparing your earthquake preparedness kits


When preparing earthquake preparedness kits, make sure they have the supplies for protecting you and your family against any kind of damage or injury that is often caused by earthquakes. When earthquake occurs, furniture can easily shift or block the exit or it can fall off its place causing you serious injury. So, buy furniture fastening straps for earthquake preparedness kits.

Due to sudden and strong shaking, pictures that are hung on your walls or placed on side tables can get damaged. Having picture hooks in your earthquake safety kits will prevent your pictures from getting damaged. Power generally fails when earthquake occurs and it often takes several days for the engineers to repair the faults or damaged wirings. By including emergency power lights, flash lights, headlights, and lamps, you can assure yourself of lighting during such emergency situations.

Food and water are really important for your survival and you must ensure that they are there in your safety preparedness kits. Other items that you may include in your earthquake safety kits are first aid supplies, blankets, pet food, baby food, shoves, whistles, gloves, tarps, water filtration system, and indoor/outdoor heaters.
