National Preparedness Month and $25 Giveaway #2
This month is National Preparedness month and I am excited to be working with Clorox and American Red Cross to share important information that will help us prepare for emergencies. This week, we’re focusing on Building an Emergency Preparedness Kit with your family. Building a comprehensive emergency preparedness kit is an important component of emergency preparedness. Here is a checklist you can use to start your kit:
- Water (minimum three day supply for evacuations, two week supply for home, washing, and drinking)
- Non-perishable foods (minimum three day supply for evacuations, two week supply for home)
- Assorted battery pack (purchase the pack that provides a variety of battery sizes so that you’re prepared no matter the need)
- Flashlight
- Multipurpose tool
- First aid kit
- Medications (at least a 7 day supply)
- Battery-powered or hand-crank radio (NOAA Weather Radio if possible)
- Extra Clothing
- Sanitation and personal hygiene items
- Cell phone with chargers
- Family and emergency contact information
- Extra cash
- Emergeny Blanket
- Maps of the area
- Copies of important documents – in case of emergency, you’ll need copies of birth records, household lease or deed, medications list, passports and homeowners insurance policies. If you cannot locate your insurance documents, contact your homeowners insurance company and they should be able to provide a copy for you.
- Household liquid bleach. Did you know that bleach, like Clorox Liquid Bleach, can not only disinfect surfaces but also can be used to create drinkable water? Here’s how:
To Disinfect Surfaces: Use 1/4 cup bleach to 1 gallon of water, or as directed on the label, to disinfect hard, non-porous surfaces in your home.
To Disinfect Water: If you need to purify water during an emergency, (and do not have the means to boil it for 3-5 minutes), you may disinfect your water using bleach. If water is clear, add 8 drops (1/8 tsp) of bleach per gallon of water. If water is cloudy, add 16 drops (1/4 tsp) of bleach per gallon of water. Mix the solution thoroughly and let it stand for about 30 minutes before using it. Properly treated water should have a slight chlorine odor. If it doesn’t, repeat dosage and allow water to stand an additional 15 minutes. The treated water can be made drinkable by pouring it between clean containers several times.
Check out your local home supply store. Many of them sell pre-assembled emergency preparedness supplies that provide a great foundation for the full kit you will need to build.
When disaster strikes you could ANYWHERE, so make sure you have either a full or abbreviated emergency preparedness kit (i.e. food, water and change of clothes) at work and in your vehicles.
Make sure the members of your household are aware of each kit, its content and its location. In the event of an emergency, its essential to make sure everyone, even the children, are prepared.
Do you have pets? Are they included in your preparedness plan? If not, they should be! You’ll find out more about creating a plan for your pets in next week’s blog post!
For more information, please visit www.clorox.com/redcross and download the preparedness guide: Prepare Yourself Now for Peace of Mind Later.

tornado, hurricane and floods.
We don’t have many disasters happen here in Maine but a few years ago we survived an ice storm which knocked out power for days, took down trees and stranded people all over the state. Being without power in the dead of winter is an awful scare! We learned then how to prepare and not to expect that we are safe from disasters. Thanks

Hurricane Floyd hit us a couple of years ago. The whole town flooded. We lost the police station (new one had to be built) and the library was destroyed and had to be renovated. So much damage was done. Thanks for the review and giveaway!

The worst “disaster” we had was when the city declared our drinking water was contaminated with high levels of E Coli so we had to boil our water for several days until the City discovered it was all a mistake. What a huge waste of time, energy, and a huge financial loss to many restaurants who were closed-down until the water was declared safe to drink by the County Health Dept.
We have lots of tornadoes. My oldest niece’s car was just destroyed by one on 9/15. They showed it on all the local news channels and the weather channel it was on the front page of the paper. 🙁

I live in Mass. so we don’t get tornados, hurricanes etc. But! Last year there was quite a bit of rain and lots of people had flooded basements and yards. Also, several years back, we had a downburst come through the neighborhood. The occasional blizzard….

Last year we had 300″ of snow, mainly in about six weeks. We got hit with a “snow hurricane” as the newsmen called it and had EIGHT FEET of snow in our driveway. Thankfully we didn’t lose electric, but were trapped in the house almost three weeks. To help spread the cost of getting ready for winter this year, I’m already buying a good many extra groceries each time I go to the store.

Flooding, we are near the Mississippi River and have faced major flooding.
I can’t think of anything other than floods. We had a nasty storm last year that brought down a tree (which brought down the power lines) a block down from our house. Pretty eery looking down the street of live power lines draped over the trees. When I was little we lived in Tennessee for a bit and experienced a horrible storm that shook our whole house, I remember hiding under my bed paralyzed with fear. A tornado just missed us. To this day thunder and lightening really rattles me and the thought of tornadoes gives me goose bumps!

I’m in VT so the worst we normally get is bad winter storms. Occasionally we have some flooding that isn’t the anticipated spring thaw flood. We did get a down wind? down surge? wind surge? Something that was a just shy of a tornado a few years ago. It only damaged a small area along a back road. No deaths and I don’t even think there were injuries.
That being said. Winter can be pretty harsh and some storms are more severe than others.

We’ve been hit by a couple of hurricanes and an occasional tornado in the time that I’ve lived here. I wish I could find a place to live with a great climate and a lack of scary storms, though!
Hurricanes!! Living in Florida, the first year we were here four came through. High winds, so much rain. A store in St Petersburg had the roof collapse and the whole area flooded. Trees went down and we couldn’t get out for three days. Power came back on and it was strange to see that lamp posts were bent at exactly the same place.

We had the terrible east coast blizzard last year. This year, we’ve had tornados, hurricanes, and even an earthquake…all very minor though.
Fortunately we don’t have to contend with hurricanes or tornadoes in NC but we do have trouble with flooding and large amounts of snow.
I have seen several homes wash down the side of a mountain due to rain and up to 42in. of snow at one time. With the power being out for up to three weeks. We now have generators and gas logs just in case.

Tornadoes, and more often than one would think, floods.
We have hurricanes. Somme times we have ice/snow storm in the winter.
I lived through Hugo. We have had other hurricanes but that was the worst.

Fortunately, I have not been affected by them, but we have had quite a few larger tornados in the area.
I used to live in Louisiana, and I was one of the areas affected by Katrina.
We were somewhat prepared, but we had no idea what to expect and didn’t have
everything we needed.
Right now I live in TN, and Im in “Tornado Country”, so a kit like this
would be great to have.
I live in Upstate NY and we don’t get much in the way of natural disasters. Two summers ago there was a minor tornado that did practically no damage but throw lawn furniture around. But we can get some pretty nasty winter storms.
I live right in Tornado Alley. Some of the houses in my neighborhood are rebuilt frm the last time
We had a really bad flood here in 1993. Our city still has the water level marked on the sign coming into the city.

I’ve lived in Southern Cal my entire life, so earthquakes are a regular occurrence. They don’t (excuse the pun) rattle me.

We moved shortly thereafter, but we lived in Palm Beach County for eighteen years. The last year we were there, 3 major hurricanes in a row hit where we were. We were without electricity for 21 days straight.

Hurricanes only one tornado since I’ve lived here, thanks for the chance!
Very rarely, a tornado is around. Every 7-10 years we get mounds of snow (2-3 feet like this Feb – yuck) . Overall, a pretty safe place to live.

the big snowstorm hit hard this year.
A couple of months ago there was some bad flooding and a few tornados (which aren’t very common in my area)

We’re not close to the coast but we’ve had our fair share of hurricanes come through. Also plenty of tornadoes.

Hmm in like 1974 there was a tornado and a few people died. My senior year (2 years ago) there was a little earthquake! I slept through it and most people did too. There was also a bad flood that year.

We have had several devastating tornadoes.
hurricane ty.
We have wildfires here because when it’s dry and hot it doesn’t take much for a fire to start and spread very quickly.
I live in the Midwest so our most common emergency is tornado. Luckily we’ve never been affected too much, but I had a brother who was affected for about 10 days. Thanks.
