Why do I need Emergency Kits and Supplies?
Unfortunately Emergency Preparedness is a topic most
people prefer not to discuss and usually just push aside in hopes that nothing
will ever happen.
But if we look back at the last few years, the number of severe natural and man made disasters have significantly increased on US soil and we are no longer as safe as we like to think.
In the 60ies and 70ies people were stocking up on emergency and disaster survival supplies. Underground bunkers and community shelters were built to be prepared for a disaster. Basements were filled with Emergency Supplies and Survival Food like canned goods and stockpiles of water along with other essential Disaster Supplies.
Then the Berlin wall came down peacefully, the cold war ended and US residents started to forget about the importance of being prepared. Generations of people born since never had to deal with issues of national security and were never even confronted with the need to prepare for emergencies until recently when hurricane Katrina flooded an entire city within hours and terrorist acts brought great harm to our country.
Under normal circumstances everyday use products are readily
available and people are taking it for granted. Many supply stores are open 24
hours a day and internet shopping allows online ordering with convenient
delivery service.
As a result 72 hour Emergency and Disaster
Preparedness is being neglected and most US residents are still living in a
world of denial, leaving them dangerously unprepared for emergency and
disaster situations.
So please ask yourself:
What if there
is a disaster and our regular food and water supply chains break down?
What
if a disaster forces us to leave our homes at a moment’s notice?
What if
electronics fail due to power supply problems and stores and banks remain
closed, credit cards don't work?
Do we have the supplies we need to be able
to survive for several days without going shopping or get help from
others?
That is why the US government and community leaders along
with countless private organizations and companies like us, CTC Products, are
working hard to raise awareness among the public to prepare for disasters and
emergencies.
US residents need to take
emergency and disaster survial preparedness back into their own hands to ensure
that they have enough supplies on hand to survive for at least 72 hours (3 days)
without outside assistance.
While 72 hour Emergency Preparedness might not be the most exciting topic to discuss, it is the one topic that can save your life.
So what should be considered an emergency or a
disaster situation?
In general emergencies and disasters are
situations that happen without advance warning and that are so out of the
ordinary that they pose a danger to lives or property or both.
Emergencies
and disasters can happen on various scales and involve from one person to
families to entire cities. They can happen at any time, and at any location such
as at home, at work or on the road.
Some emergencies and disasters you need
to consider preparing for are:
house fires
wild
fires
traffic
accidents (don't just think of a fender-bender, think on a larger
scale)
power outages for extended periods of
time
earthquakes
hurricanes
heat wave
flooding
heavy snow
storms
food contamination
tsunamis
industrial accidents
acts of
terrorism
