September was National Preparedness Month. The annual initiative promotes emergency preparedness in a number of different ways. From taking safety precautions to creating a kit filled with life saving devices like first aid materials, food, and water, people can be ready for whatever emergency situation that might occur throughout the year in a few easy steps.
Here are some pointers from the Center of Disease Control:
Develop a family disaster plan. Make plans with friends and family prior to an event occuring. This will help you determine how to contact one another, where you will meet, and what will take place during different situations.
Gather emergency supplies. Keep an ample supply of water, nonperishable and easy-to-prepare food as well as a disaster supply kit filled with first aid items, flashlights, and matches.
Learn how to shelter in place. Know the best places at home, work, and in public to set up your shelter. Make sure that it is close to a bathroom and that you have emergency supplies available where you’re at.
Understand quarantine and isolation. An outbreak of disease can occur. That’s why it’s important to know what the CDC is talking about when it comes to quaranting and isolating others to prevent the spread of illness.
Learn how to maintain a healthy state of mind. In order to survive the worst of situations, you must remain positive. Your mindset can make a real difference when times get tough. Spread the word and get your name out in the public with custom lapel pins. This is one of the most effective ways to share a message with others. The Southeast Lousiana Chapter of the Red Cross created an eye catching lapel pin that helps other people recognize them. The group remains in the forefront of people’s minds because of the lapel pins that they created. Planting that seed with lapel pins helps save lives and property in the time of a disaster.
