Thought Hurricane year 2005 with Rita and Katrina was bad? As it will be just as bad or worse well prepare for 2006.

Being an emergency preparedness specialist featured on CNN and Fox News, I can assure you that if you're not prepared you might meet up with the sam-e fate as a huge selection of people did throughout Katrina. NO shock techniques just the facts!

Firstly you need to have a water supply on-hand for a minumum of one week for each member of the household. We suggest one-gallon per day per family member because the MINIMUM! Sure the folks in New Orleans were surrounded by water-but it was entirely unfit to drink. To get more information, consider taking a look at: fundable.

Next you desire a source of food which can be secured from rising water. You must put it in LARGE plastic waterproof containers. You need to have food for a minimum of weekly in the form of MREs and regular staples like peanut-butter, jelly, honey, biscuits, and can products of baked beans, greens, soups, Spam, tuna, sardines, Vienna sausages, salmon, chicken, etc. Do not wait until the hurricane is upon one to get these things!

Next you need for EVERY member of the family to get a Preparedness Travel Backpack with: clothes, a pair of sneakers, clothes, underwear, a protective hat/cap, high quality poncho, an individual NASA cover and or sleeping bag (these are folded so tight in their plans that you can very quickly buy them in the backpack )and most importantly ID packets as described in my FR** Emergency Preparedness Guide at http://www.usprepared.com.

You will require a well equipped first aid kit that also can be held in one of the backpacks along side an emergency radio that can be personally wound up. Place in a LARGE way to obtain matches which have been waterproofed. A few flashlights that function the new LIGHT emitting diode lights that might be both shaken or wound up. Also be sure to have a way to obtain FRESH batteries of each and every size that you will be requiring NOW not later!

If you're traveling by vehicle, that vehicle needs to have FDA authorized plastic containers for your drinking water and some other people for your vehicle to keep it from overheating. We learned about
