Earthquake kit?
 

Thinking about preparing an earthquake kit for my family. What to put in it other then water and some food ? Where do I buy a first aid kit ? How many of you have one?

You can buy a first aid kit at Canadian tire.

another thing you should add to your earth quake kit is a set of tools, a Fubar and fuel.

i hate to admit it, but i'm not prepared at all. we were taught to do this in elementary but a lot of us just don't bother and we absolutely should living where we live. i think i was prepared for perhaps a few years after elementary but then nothing really happened so i stopped bothering to do it.

I think you just need enough supplies (food, water, clothes, first aid) to survive through the first 72 hours after the quake. I'm not sure if it's 48 or 72 hours, but it was mentioned in one of those government emergency guides.

I found the website.

There is an emergency supplies store opened in city square just for this kind of stuff.

Flashlight, flare gun, breakable glow sticks, portable radio, rope, pocket knife/swiss army knife and the usual food+water+first aid kit.

fml work today is gonna so lame

If I remember correctly, Canadian Tire and even Costco sells a family emergency kit. It includes knives, radio, flash light, fire blanket and first aid kit. A lot more than that but I just can't name all the items off the top of my head. When I got it for the family roughly a year or two ago it cost about $250 but well worth it. Its the size of a small/medium duffle bag. It is designed to fit for family of 4-5.

I also have a full case of dry goods all non perishable (rubbermaid container) and a full case of 2L bottled water about 50 bottles or so (seperated also in a rubbermaid container) all the water and food to last for a month. All these are in a container in the back of my house in an open area.

Had this setup a while back and its good because once you have everything prepared you really don't have to keep thinking about it. Its there when you need it and the comfort knowing you have emergency supplies and food in place the kit already served its purpose.

You can get premade kits from

local company, I have a a few of their kits.

Thanks for the info. Will go check out canadian tire today

I'm glad that helped. But remember to buy an "Emergency Kit" which is designed to provide you with basic needs. Also the obvious get the kit that is enough to help everyone in the household or else it kind of defeats the purpose!

first aid and emergency kit are two totally different things

i suggest going to 3 vets.. they sell unparishable slabs that you can eat that are 3200 calories worth as well as things for prepardness

I always have 4-5 big canadian springs bottles just in case something happens. Im huge into camping so I always have my four season tent and lights and everything to go if something happens. As well always have lots of propane so in case something happens I can cook food with no issues.

I have a little kit in my truck as well, water bottles granola bars etc if you have spare room why not I wouldn't want to be stuck in my truck with nothing to eat or drink that's for sure

if needed, I would just go to 7 11 and get some lays chips and pop.

I have one, but it only consists of batteries, flashlights, canned food and water. It's been a couple of years since I renewed the batteries and food so I'm making an effort this weekend to replace them and add additional supplies to the kit.

If they are open.

Also if they haven't been already raided by everyone else thinking the same thing.

I would rather want to hit up the liquor store before 7/11

lol. you're funny

I live really really close to a 7 11. Hence I chose 7 11 instead of places.


again.. that would be one of my last options, depending on the situation.

Everyone should have a generator so they can still post on Revscene. "OMG, did u just feel the earthquake?"

A shotgun. Looters gonna loot.

how many fails does one need to recieve before getting banned?

276

:fullofwin:


if earthquake hits i say we have a RS MEET at superstore,walmart,canadian tire thats on grandview highway/rupert area lol we can loot in force

Fubar? Or do you mean a Ka-bar?
