The first three days will probably find most of you in somewhat of a daze, but “life” goes on. If you have experienced a major earthquake, severe storm or hurricane, you will have to get out of town or even the state to find relief. However with debris and damage to the roadways, staying home may be your safest choice. You will need some clothes, shoes and shelter to protect you from the elements and give you some privacy. Clean water, simple food, your medications and some light to see in the very dark night. If it not safe in your house or neighborhood, you may have to drive or even walk somewhere else. These circumstances are when your 72 hour kits will come into play. Something else to consider, is your family’s safety. Unfortunately, when disasters happen, the predators start roaming the streets, first looting the stores and then the neighborhoods. Working together with your neighbors and friends will prove invaluable as you help and protect one another
The FIRST THREE DAYS after “IT” happens and surprise, still no FEMA in sight. Where will most of your help and support come from…your neighbors! You will all have the need to survive, so you will help each other, sharing what you have, giving emotional support, banding together to shore up your homes and protect your families. You will by focusing on:
- Rescuing the trapped
- Treating the injured
- Finding Safe Shelter
- Personal needs (72 hour kits)
- Protecting your neighborhood and family
- Rummaging for keepsakes
