Emergencies -- How
Organized and Prepared Are You?
By: Susan W. Miller
Being organized is frequently about saving. It's
about saving time … saving money … and saving those things that are
precious and important to you so you will readily have them when you
want them in the future.
How prepared and organized are you
to save those important things when an emergency strikes? Natural
and man-made disasters are in the news almost every day -- fires
here, floods there, an earthquake somewhere else, and a tornado
touching down in your own backyard. Sometimes you are fortunate
enough to have 30 minutes notice to leave your home. Other times
there is no advanced warning at all. For the survivors of these
horrors, life must go on once the clean-up begins. Before an
emergency presents itself in your life, and to ease your re-entry
process after the fact, you can take a few simple steps now, just in
case you do have a chance to take more than the clothes that are on
your back.
Implement these ideas TODAY, so you will be
better organized and prepared for an emergency when and if it
happens.
1. Create a notebook to capture all the important
household and family informational details. Include things like
birth dates, social security numbers, health history, and every
aspect you can recall. Many products are available that require
little more than filling in the blank for each item for each person.
2. Keep your household
information notebook current so you have what you need when you need
it. Store the notebook in a place you can grab easily without having
to search for it.
3. Put one complete
change of clothes for each member of your household into a pile for
quick access. Store the entire pile in one large cloth tote bag or
box, or in individual ones for each member of the family. If you
choose an individual bag or box for each person, put a few other
vital or precious items that will be valued by that person into
their respective container.
4. Keep a supply of
collapsible crates and large cloth tote bags at the ready. When
you're packing in a hurry, there is no time to find boxes. The tote
bags and collapsible crates can be stored flat and take up minimal
space when they are not being used.
5. Use a child's
plastic pocket organizer that fits over the back seat of your car or
a door to prepare children's items to take with you in a moment's
notice. Things like a flashlight, tissues, map, and an umbrella can
be stored in that kind of container to grab on the run as well.
6. Put your most
important photographs and documents into protective photo storage
boxes. This helps preserve them and makes them easy to take with
you. Select the photos most meaningful to you and keep the box
current.
7. Color-code the
emergency containers you use for family members. That makes it
easier to grab and identify valuables in an evacuation situation.
8. Carry a small
family pet to safety in a large cloth tote bag with shoulder straps.
A frightened pet can be more swiftly rescued by placing it into that
type of bag, and be comforted by being close to your body.
9. Examine the exit
routes from various parts of your home and from room to room within
your home. Look at what is stored at or near each thoroughfare
within the house.
10. Relocate things to
safer places than in doorways and walkways. Put magazines into
magazine holders on shelves. Place large items into storage boxes in
less accessible places. Find other homes for children's toys. Use
doors to safely hang things that might be strewn on the floor.
Spend a few minutes each week to review your emergency
preparedness. Decide what items you want to purchase. Shop for them
little by little or all at once. Many products to easily assist you
with these ideas and more can be found at
