Natural disasters seem to be more and more common, so if you live in an area prone to floods, tsunamis, bushfires, cyclones, earthquakes or tornados you\u2019ll want to make sure you have the necessary emergency supplies to protect you and your family.<\/p>\n

Keep your emergency supplies in a secure, easy-to-access place. Although it might seem tempting to put them away somewhere where they are out of the way, you don\u2019t want to be climbing up to the attic if the roof is being blown off. Go for a kitchen or laundry cupboard and have a basic survival kit stored somewhere else just in case.<\/p>\n
In an emergency, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll require several basic emergency tools. Swiss Army Knives and multitools are extremely handy emergency tools and can be shoved into your pocket if you need to evacuate. It\u2019s good to keep a brightly coloured tarpaulin or several brightly coloured garbage bags close by in case you need to attract attention.<\/p>\n
A heat source is another essential to your emergency supplies. Having at least one reflective aluminium blanket is a good idea: they fold up into a very small package, are warm, fire resistant and are a good way of signalling for attention. Light, woollen blankets and a portable camping stove are also good emergency tools.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Of course, non-perishable food is an absolute must in any emergency supplies cupboard. A good guide is to have enough food to last your family for 14 days. Canned foods are always good (make sure you have an extra can opener), as are dehydrated camping meals. Dehydrated camping meals can offer nutritional value that canned foods can\u2019t and usually only require hot water to rehydrate. Even though the your foods are non-perishable, it\u2019s a good idea to rotate your food supplies every year or so to make sure it\u2019s fresh enough to eat in case of an emergency.<\/span><\/p>\n Water is extremely important, and all emergency supplies should include access to water and a good supply of water filtration devices for various situations. In many emergencies, the water supply can be cut off or become highly polluted. Investing in a few purification methods can offer peace of mind and ensure your family is safe no matter what the emergency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ admin_label=”after picture” _builder_version=”4.9.0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”after picture ” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Lato||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#0c71c3″ header_2_letter_spacing=”1px” header_2_line_height=”1.1em” custom_padding=”4px||”]<\/p>\n The SureAqua product range is a great emergency tool for most emergencies as it provides portable, Any disaster can take you away from your home, so it\u2019s vital to keep some basic form of shelter in your emergency supplies kit. A lightweight tent is best, but you could even make do with a sizeable tarpaulin, some sting, and some pegs.<\/p>\n Of course, one rarely considers that communication would ever be an issue in an emergency. However, if your mobile phone and computer break down (perish the thought) you won\u2019t just be able to send a text or log onto Facebook and ask your friends to come and find you. Instead, you\u2019ll need some old-school methods of communication in your emergency supplies kit. Emergency tools like a whistle, mirror, flare, compass, pencil, and paper are essential to any emergency supplies kit. With these, you can help rescuers to find you even if all technology breaks down.<\/p>\n Of course, a basic first-aid kit and sanitary products are also vital emergency supplies.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Emergency Supplies – Need to consider your drinking water needsNatural disasters seem to be more and more common, so if you live in an area prone to floods, tsunamis, bushfires, cyclones, earthquakes or tornados you\u2019ll want to make sure you have the necessary emergency supplies to protect you and your family.Keep your emergency supplies in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8580,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-disaster-management"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sureaqua.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
