One of the first steps
towards preparedness is to create a family disaster supplies kit. This kit
should contain all the essential items needed during the period immediately
following a disaster, such as water, food, tools, medical supplies, clothing,
bedding, and other special items like important documents. It often becomes
necessary after a disaster to seek refuge in a public shelter. These shelters
may not have some of the basic necessities. A disaster supplies kit can make a
stay in a public shelter more comfortable.
Your Family Disaster
Supplies Kit
After a disaster, local
officials and relief workers will be on the scene, but they cannot reach
everyone immediately. You could get help in hours, or it may take days. Once a
disaster hits, you won’t have time to shop or search for
supplies.
WATER - Store water in plastic
containers. Store one gallon per person per day (two quarts for drinking, two
quarts for food preparation/sanitation. More suggested due to hot environment
and possible intense physical activity. Keep at least three-day supply per
person in household.
FOOD - Store at least a three-day
supply of non-perishable foods. Select foods that requires no refrigeration,
preparation or cooking and little or no water. If you must heat food, pack a can
of sterno or charcoal and lighter fluid. Select food items that are compact and
lightweight. Ready to eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables. Canned juices,
milk and soup (if powered, store extra water).
Staples - Sugar, salt and
pepper. High-energy foods - peanut butter, jelly, crackers, granola bars, trail
mix, and Vitamins. Food for infants, elderly persons or persons on special diets
and Comfort/Stress-foods - Cookies, hard candy, sweetened cereals, lollipops,
instant coffee and tea bags.

CREATE A FAMILY DISASTER PLAN
· As you begin to
prepare for disasters, discuss the danger of hurricanes, tornadoes, fire, and
other emergencies. Develop a plan
to share responsibilities and work together as a team.
·
Establish meeting places
inside and outside of residence
·
Decide best escape routes
from residence
·
Plan to care for Pets and
needed supplies
·
Select a friend or relative
to be an out-of town contact. All
family members should know name and number.
·
Learn evacuation routes
advised to evacuate
·
Determine locations and
phone numbers of area shelters
MAKE A CHECKLIST AND PERIODICALLY UPDATE IT
·
Post Emergency telephone
numbers by phones (fire, police, etc)
·
Teach children how and when
to call 911 or local
·
Show each family member how
to turn off water, gas and electricity at the main valve or switches. (check with local utility company for
instructions)
·
Teach each family member how
to use a fire extinguisher and keep it in a central location. Check it each
year.
·
Install smoke detectors on
each level of the home, especially near bedrooms.
·
Conduct a home hazard
hunt.
·
Stock emergency supplies and
assemble a disaster supplies kit.
·
Learn basic first
aid.
·
Identify safe places in the
home to go for each type of potential disaster.
·
Check to make sure there is
adequate insurance coverage.
PREPARE FOR EVACUATION –
Advance planning
will make evacuation procedures easier. First, have the family disaster supplies
kit and plan ready. Additional steps that can aid preparedness include:
·
Learn potential maximum
storm surge by category of hurricane. Information about the potential for inland
flooding and storm surge is available through the nearest weather station
office.
·
Plan to relocate during a
hurricane emergency when living near the seashore.
·
Review possible evacuation
procedures with the family. Find out where children will be sent if they are in
school when an evacuation is announced.
·
Plan now where to go if
forced to evacuate. Consider the homes of friends or relatives who live nearby,
but outside the area of potential danger. Know the location of the nearest
shelter. Emergency Management or Red Cross personnel can give the location of
the shelter nearest the home and explain what to bring to the shelter. Know how
to contact family members should the need arise.
·
Contact the local emergency
management office for information on shelters and community evacuation
plans.
·
Plan an escape route early.
Check with emergency management personnel for low points and flooding history of
the route. Check the number of hours it could take to evacuate to a safe area
during peak evacuation traffic.
·
Have the car checked. This
includes: ignition system, battery, lights, tires, cooling system, fuel system,
exhaust system, brakes, wiper blades and windshield washer fluid, coolant or
anti-freeze, oil and lubricants. Keep vehicles fueled at all times during
hurricane season.
·
Those without vehicles
should make transportation plans with friends, relatives, neighbors, or local
emergency management office.
·
Inventory property and take
photographs or video of belongings.
·
Take important papers and
documents with you in waterproof containers or store in safety deposit
box.
·
Check insurance coverage
prior to any emergency.
·
Track hurricane information
online at the following websites:
WWW.volusia.org/emergency WWW.weather.com http://www.daytonaredcross.org/ http://www.floridadisaster.org/
Make plans early and inform
family members of hurricane watch. Listen constantly to radio or TV broadcasts.
Monitor storm reports and keep a log of hurricane positions. Remember that
evacuation routes sometimes can be closed up to 20 hours before landfall by wind
gusting or storm surge flooding.
If considering moving to a
shelter, refill needed prescriptions and make arrangements for
Pets. Pets usually are not
allowed in shelters.
If evacuation has not
already been recommended, consider leaving the area early enough to avoid long
hours on limited evacuation routes.
CHECK SUPPLIES
·
Have a transistor radio with
fresh batteries (minimum 3 batteries)
·
Flashlights, lamps, candles
and matches. Store matches in waterproof container. Have lantern fuel for
several days and know how to use it safely. Use caution with candles and
lanterns due to potential fire hazards.
·
Fill vehicles gas tank.
Never have less than ½ tank of gas. Gas stations may be closed due to storm and
if power fails the pumps will not work.
·
Canned goods and
non-perishable foods.
·
Containers of drinking
water. The city’s supply will probably be interrupted or contaminated. At least
7 gallons per person is suggested.
·
Materials for emergency
repairs. Keep all receipts for insurance and income tax
preparation.
·
Fill bathtubs with water.
May be needed for bathing and flushing of toilets if city water service is
interrupted.
·
Turn refrigerator and
freezer to highest (coldest) setting. Ice in freezer will assist keeping foods
from spoiling. Power may be lost due to storm.
·
Have currency (small bills
and change) available. Banks may not be open and businesses may not accept
credit cards or have the ability to make change for
purchases.
·
Put emergency plan into
action and notify family members of hurricane warning.
·
Continue listening to radio
or TV broadcasts.
·
Prepare for high
winds.
·
Anchor outside objects and
move items on balcony inside.
·
Close and lock all outside
doors. Draw drapes across windows and doors to protect against flying glass if
shattering does occur.
·
Check mooring lines of boats
in water. Leave the area immediately.
·
Store valuables and personal
papers. Place in waterproof containers and store in highest possible spot. If
evacuated, remember to take them with you.
·
Prepare for storm surge,
tornadoes and floods. Storm surge, tornadoes and flash floods are the worst
killers associated with a hurricane. During a tornado warning, seek shelter
inside, below ground level. If outside, move away at right angles from a
tornado. If escape is impossible, lie flat in a ditch or low spot. The surge of
ocean water plus flash flooding or streams and rivers due to torrential rains
combine to make drowning the greatest cause of hurricane
deaths.
·
Check the disaster supplies
kit again.
EVACUATION SAFETY RULES
Before making any
last-minute preparations, be absolutely certain that it’s time. If advised to evacuate, do so immediately. Don’t wait until the
last minute to leave, hoping to save possessions. SAVE LIVES!
Move quickly and calmly.
Don’t take
chances. Getting safely away from the storm area is the first
consideration.
Keep a radio turned on and
located where it can be heard.
Know where to go before
leaving.
Listen to the radio for evacuation instructions and use suggested routes. Other
routes may be blocked, washed away or have downed power lines causing hazardous
conditions.
If traveling to a shelter,
take blankets or sleeping bags, flashlights, special dietary foods, infant needs
and lightweight folding chairs. Register every person
arriving at shelter. Do not take pets (unless specially adapted for them),
alcoholic beverages, or weapons of any kind to shelters. Be prepared to assist
shelter workers if necessary, and stress to all family members their obligations
to keep the shelter clean and sanitary.
If there is limited time for
evacuation preparations, take only family medications, blankets, and a
battery-powered radio. If a disaster kit is made,
take it!
If there is definitely time
before leaving the house:
·
Turn off
utilities
·
Relocate the most valuable
possessions. Possessions that cannot be taken should be moved to higher points
in the home. Check to see that everything possible has been done to protect
property from damage and loss.
·
Lock the house when
leaving.
·
Notify manager if you are
leaving and give an address and phone number where you can be
contacted.
This will assist both Emergency Management and you prior to and when allowed to
return. Keep in mind the facility must be inspected and made usable prior to
your return. Management when re-entry is permitted or when updates are available
will contact you. Emergency periods are hectic for all concerned so please allow
management time to properly restore the facility for your safety and
convenience.
·
Do not travel farther than
necessary.
In
times of emergency, people often panic, either staying with or abandoning their
cars at the wrong time. After almost every disaster, search and rescue teams
find victims who might have survived if they had been prepared for emergency
travel, and had known whether to stay with or leave their
vehicles.
·
Select alternate routes
before leaving, in case the preferred route isn’t passable.
·
Listen to the radio while
traveling and heed the latest weather information.
·
Seek shelter immediately if
the storm seems severe.
·
Try not to travel alone
during a storm. Two or three people
traveling together can provide mutual aid. Travel with another car if
possible.
·
Make sure someone knows the
following information: time of departure, time of
expected arrival and expected travel routes.
·
Always fill the gas tank
before leaving, even for short distances.
·
Drive
defensively.
·
Carry the Disaster Supplies
Kit.
·
Never attempt to drive
during a hurricane or until the all clear is
given after the storm. Flash flooding can occur after a hurricane has passed.
Avoid driving on coastal and low-lying roads. Storm surge and hurricane caused
flooding are erratic and may occur with little or no
warning.
Floods and tornadoes often
accompany hurricanes. Do not try to stay with the
car under these conditions.
Never attempt to drive
through water on a road. Water can be deeper than it
appears, and water levels can rise very quickly. Most cars will float
dangerously for at least a short while. A car can be buoyed by floodwaters and
then swept downstream during a flood. Floodwaters also can erode roadways and
missing sections of road, even a missing bridge will not be visible with water
running over the area. Wade through floodwaters only if the water is not flowing
rapidly and only in water no higher than the knees. If a car stalls in
floodwater, get out quickly and move to higher ground. The floodwaters may still
be rising and the car could be swept away at any moment.
A car is the least safe
place to be during a tornado. When a warning is issued,
do not try to leave the area by car. If in a car, leave it and find shelter in a
building. If a tornado approaches and there are no safe structures nearly, lie
flat in a ditch or other ground depression and use arms to cover your
head.
Avoid overexertion and
overexposure.
Stay in the car, which
provides shelter and increases the likelihood to be
found.
Stay
calm!
Keep fresh air in the
car. Keep the downwind window
open about an inch if running the motor.
Exercise from time to time
by clapping
hands and moving arms and legs vigorously.
Don’t stay in one position long.
Keep the dome light on at
night to make the car visible to rescue crews.
Have one person keep
watch. Don’t allow everyone in the car to sleep
at once.
Signal with a
horn. An automobile horn can be heard for as
far as a mile downwind. Flash the
lights from time to time at night.
If evacuated, delay
returning until it is recommended or authorized by local officials and the
facility Emergency Management Team.
Beware of outdoor hazards.
Watch out
for loose or dangling power lines, and report them immediately to proper
authorities. Many lives are lost
through electrocution.
Walk or drive cautiously.
Debris-filled streets are
dangerous. Snakes and poisonous insects will be a hazard. Washouts may weaken
road and bridge structures, which could collapse under vehicle
weights.
Guard against spoiled food.
Food may
spoil if refrigerator power is off more than a few hours. Freezers will keep
food several days if doors are not opened after power failure, but do not
refreeze food once it begins to thaw.
Do not use water until safe.
Use
emergency supplies or boil water before drinking until official work is given
that the water is safe. Report broken sewer or water mains to the proper
authorities.
Take extra precautions to
prevent fire. Lowered water pressure in
city mains and the interruption of other services may make fire fighting
extremely difficult after a hurricane.
Remember, emergency
assistance, i.e. police, fire, water and power personnel, will not be able to
respond during the height of the storm. They will be sheltered for
they’re own protection and the protection of their
equipment.
Remain indoors away from
doors and windows. Don’t go outside in the
brief calm during passage of the eye of the storm. The lull sometimes ends
suddenly as winds return from the opposite direction. Winds can increase to 75
mph or more in a matter of seconds.
Protect property.
Without
taking any unnecessary risks, protect property from damage. Temporary repairs
can reduce losses.
Stay away from windows and
glass doors. Move furniture away from
exposed doors and windows.
Stay tuned to media
broadcasts. Keep a radio or television
tuned for information from official sources. Unexpected changes can sometimes
call for last minute relocations.
Remain Calm!
The ability
to meet emergencies will help others.
Notify manager of your
intention to stay in unit and reason for staying, i.e. disability, health,
etc.
INSURANCE - Insurance representatives
will be on the scene immediately following a major disaster to speed up the
handling of claims. Notify the
insurance agent or broker of any losses, and leave word where to be
contacted.
Take steps to protect
property. Make temporary repairs to
protect property from further damage or looting. Use only reputable contractors
(sometimes in the chaotic days following a disaster, unscrupulous operators prey
on the unsuspecting). If possible, check contractors through the Better Business
Bureau. Keep receipts for materials purchased for insurance and income tax
purposes.
Be patient. Insurance representatives will settle
hardship cases first. Don’t assume the settlement will be the same as a
neighbor’s. Policy forms differ and storm damage is often erratic. In a major
catastrophe, the insurance industry will have emergency offices and extra
manpower to expedite claim settlements and to speed recovery. Everyone cannot be
first.
It takes a team effort.
Responsibility for the clean
up falls to numerous local, state, and federal agencies. A local Emergency
Management coordinator (the mayor, county judge, or a designated representative)
will be on hand to help residents in this
effort.
