I Love The Sawyer Squeeze Water Filtration System!!
Clean water is the most important item to have in any survival situation. You have to have clean water! You will not last if you do not have water and Sawyer Squeeze Water Filtration System is the easiest thing that I have found to use. The 0.1 Micron Absolute filter uses a pore size so small that it gets out the microscopic contaminants. No more bacteria, protozoa, or cysts. This means that you can get clean drinkable water from lakes, rivers, streams, and in any disaster situation. Also would be very handy if you travel abroad where it it sometimes hard to get good drinking water. All you do is fill it with water and then squeeze it though the filter. You can drink it right from the filter's pop-up cap while it is connected to the pouch. Making this a great tool for hikers as well as anyone wanting a water filter for their bug-out bag.

To really get clean water for your family you have to have an easy and reliable way to filter the water. Something that is easy enough for the whole family to use. Something that doesn't need a lot of different attachments also. This Sawyer Squeeze Water Filtration System is the one to get. No more replacing filters and no more worries.

Top 10 Emergency Preparedness For an Earthquake

Emergency preparedness for an earthquake involves discussing with your family about steps to take when an earthquake occurs. When people are filled with panic and fear during an earthquake, they tend to act in an improper way. Planning to deal with an earthquake before it occurs can enable your family to act in the best possible way when the earthquake strikes.
Top 10 Emergency Preparedness For an Earthquake:
Here are the top 10 emergency preparedness tips for an earthquake:
- Know the safe spots in your home: Safe spots are those places where there is a minimal chance of an object and debris falling from above. Some examples of safe spots are hallways, archways, room corners, spots under heavy tables, desks etc.
- Practice Safety Drills With Your Family: Safety drills are the actions one has to take during an earthquake. Some of the safety drills you can practice with your family are - getting under heavy table or desk; covering one's face with arms; staying clear of places where objects can fall; standing or crouching in safe spots, corners, and strongly supported doorways.
- Evacuation Plans: An evacuation plan enables your family to escape during the first signs of emergency. You can discuss and come up with a sketch of an evacuation plan for your house. You can also include a second evacuation plan.
- Repair: Leaky gas connections, improper electrical wiring and defective utility services can be hazardous during emergency. So, make sure you repair such problems in your home by seeking professional help.
- Anchor the appliances, fixtures: Anchor the appliances such as refrigerator, gas equipment, furnace, water heater etc. firmly to the wall. Overhead lightning fixtures should also be anchored. This will minimize the falling of objects during an earthquake.
- Put Heavy Objects in Lower shelves: Heavy objects, breakables such as china, glass etc. should be placed in lower shelves. This will prevent them from falling and causing injuries during an earthquake.
- Make a list of important information: Write down important such as important telephone numbers, vehicle numbers, medications list, bank account numbers etc. and put them in a secure place.
- Make a priority List: Make a priority list which details the actions to be done when an earthquake strikes. Your list can include important things to carry such as food, utilities etc., turning off utilities, locking doors, using fire extinguisher etc.
- Store Important Documents: Store important documents such as insurance policies, education certificates, birth certificates, wills etc. in a fire-proof safe.
- Ensure your home has stable foundation: Make sure your home has a strong foundation. Also take up any repairs if necessary.
Emergency preparedness for an earthquake minimizes injury, damage to your home and increases your safety. So, make sure you prepare yourself beforehand to escape the disastrous affects of an earthquake.
