National Preparedness Month – Plan After Disaster & $25 Giveaway
The month of September was National Preparedness Month and I was happy to work together with Clorox, American Red Cross, and Consumer Queen to bring some important information and fabulous giveaways to the readers of The Mommy-Files! Over the past month, we learned about Emergency Preparedness Plans, Emergency Preparedness Kits, and Emergency Plans for Pets. This week, we will talk about what happens AFTER disaster strikes and what you do when you get home!
In the wake of disaster, there is much to do as you assess the health and safety of your household as well as next steps to rebuild your life. The first thing you’ll want to do is check communication channels to ensure that local officials have declared it safe to return home.
When home, cleaning up after a natural disaster can be a daunting task so it’s important to keep your health top of mind using these steps:
– Before entering the home, look outside for loose power lines, damaged gas lines, foundation cracks or other damage.
– During cleanup, wear protective clothing, including rubber gloves and rubber boots.
– Look for flooding or large pools of standing water surrounding your home. These waters can be contaminated with high levels of bacteria that can make you sick, so disinfecting with a solution of bleach and water may help to remove mold and prevent the spread of infections and illness. To help prevent water damage in your home, you may consider hiring a waterproofing contractor.
– Look for a roofing contractor if your roof has been damaged by the hurricane. You may need to replace some of your shingle roofs to fully restore your roofing system.
For more information, please visit www.clorox.com/redcross and download the preparedness guide: Prepare Yourself Now for Peace of Mind Later.
General Health & Safety Tips
– Keep your hands clean, either by washing your hands or using a hand sanitizer.
– If you feel feverish or sick after a disaster or during clean-up, see a doctor immediately.
– Eat healthy foods and drink lots of clean water
(1) REMEMBER – your emergency preparedness kit should include a minimum three-day supply of water for evacuations (2 weeks for home) for your entire household. This means approximately one gallon per person, per day for washing and drinking.
– If water supplies are compromised and you are unable to boil water for one minute (three minutes at high elevation), you can create drinkable water by using un-scented disinfecting bleach such as Clorox. You can also use bleach to clean non-porous surfaces in your home.
(1) 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.
(2) 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 must 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.

we’ve gone through a hurricane where we lost our house and lived with 5 (became 6) sons in a travel trailer in the backyard for a year. so we try to keep up to date as far as prepared. we rotated food form our 72 hour kits. (and here’s some advice – keep a brand new family game in the kit. you never know when you’ll be playing for a couple days straight – perhaps in your underwear because your storm shutters are up and you have no air conditioning – not saying we did, just saying – haha)
I have batteries and canned good on hand.

What I have done to prepare is by typing up our Evacuation List… we always have a threat of forest firest in our area and a few years ago I developed a document that lists the items we would want/need to take and what room it is in and where it is… this way other people in the house could gather items too or if I wasn’t home, my husband and daughters could work the list. I listed the items beginning with most important. This list was put to use this year as we had a fire close and had to evacuate and it was extremely helpful and i stayed calm knowing i just had to follow the list and didn’t worry about forgetting something.

Thank you for the giveaway. I’ve actually created blog posts for emergency preparedness but, I had no idea that you could use bleach to steralize water! i’ve been trying to put a kit together. Especially since we live in a state where Tornados are common and hitting more and more. I have my first aid kit partially finished. Actually, I’m making 2 first aid kits. I’m putting one in the car and one in the house. I might make a third to put elsewhere.

I bought a new flashlight in case of an emergency. Our old one didn’t work anymore.
I replaced all of our nightlights with LED nightlights/flashlights. When there is electricity these act like normal nightlights (with sensors to turn them off during the day) but when the power goes off they can be unplugged and used like LED flashlights.

We are fortunate not to have to deal with hurricanes and tornadoes here in the mountains. But do have to deal with flooding and sometimes heavy snow.
So we have purchased a generator, have dry food, water , blankets and flashlights on hand just in case of and emergency.

Well…. first let me tell you what my neighbor does and then mine won’t seem QUITE so bad 🙂 As soon as she hears a storm is coming, she runs out to get a manicure and pedicure. The first thing I do is run out and get flour and eggs. I’m a stress baker – I bake whenever things get bad. So if I’m trapped in the house, I’d go crazy if I couldn’t bake something. My family loves it when it snows because then they have lots of good food to eat 🙁

I actually had never thought about emergency prep until I saw these giveaways popping up. And I felt pretty bad that I was so unprepared! I’ve started setting aside a few canned goods and jugs of water. It’s a start!

In our kit we have bottled water, rechargable radio, flashlights, canned and dry food. We also have extra food for our cat.
We keep some extra canned goods and bottled wate.
Living with hurricanes, being prepared means having bleach for water, making plenty of ice in advance in large containers, canned foods, crackers, peanut butter, flash lights, portable radio, and plenty of batteries, and a cooler.. Having a grill comes in handy as well.
New batteries in flashlights and smoke detectors. Extra water and canned food

We have a bag with a “human powered” radio and hand crank flashlight – also with candles. It’s our hurricane kit!
We have a generator that I recently double checked to make sure it was full of gasoline and would easily start up if we need it
