How to Prepare for an Emergency with Freeze Dried Food
Are you ready to evacuate your home at a moment’s notice and support yourself for 72 hours? Nobody can anticipate an emergency situation, but everybody should be prepared for one. The US and Canadian governments advise that all their citizens should be ready to take care of themselves for a minimum of three days before emergency services are there to help. Depending on the nature of the situation you find yourself in this might mean leaving your home behind. To prepare yourself and your loved ones for disaster when it strikes it helps to know what the emergency risks in your area are. If you live in a forested area, are forest fires a possibility? If you live near a large body of water, can a flood happen? If an ocean nearby, can a hurricane strike? If you are close to a fault line, is an earthquake likely? These emergencies may require you to leave your home until it is safe to return, and emergency services will take some time to come to your aide. The US and Canadian governments say that it is necessary to prepare a portable emergency kit for every member of your family with these items to be ready for an emergency.
