You never know what can happen in the world today. Global
warming has made natural disasters much more frequent and powerful. Wars are
happening everywhere. Virus outbreaks are getting more frequent and dangerous
as well. When it happens, there is nothing we can do to stop it but we can make
sure that we prepare ourselves for it. Following the steps below will help you
increase your chances of survival.
1. Plan for Disaster Survival Situations - Planning is
critical for self reliance. If you want to survive a disaster, plan for
anything that can happen to you in any situation. It's important that you know
where everything is and to keep them in the same place where it is accessible. Having
a small survival kit in your car is a good idea in case something happens on
the road. If possible, everyone involved should know what the plan is.
2.
Build a Complete Self Reliance First Aid Kit - I have yet
to find a ready made medical kit that caters for everything but it's a good
place to start your collection. Try the professional version of a self reliance
emergency kit. It's still not complete but it's a very good place to start with.
Be sure you have enough to cater for everyone. There is no such things are
having too much medical supply. In natural disasters or other emergencies, a
lack of supply is much more common. Always buy extra bandages and antiseptic
wipes for better protection.
3.
Emergency Survival First Aid Training - All that time and
money to build an emergency kit won't do any good if you don't know how to use
them. Self Reliance Courses like CPR, First Aid and AED are offered by the Red
Cross but that's not all. Always improve your knowledge, learn
about injury prevention, blood borne pathogens and community
disaster. Knowing these skills can be lifesaving.
4. Self Reliance Emergency Water - There might be a water
shortage during an emergency so better stock up. Store them in containers that
are not easily punctured and replace old water with fresh water every three
months. Fill up all your containers if you think that a disaster is coming
soon. Remember to have a stock of water purification tablets but be aware that
they're only safe when used for short periods of time and with the correct
dosage.
5.
Self Reliance Food Storage - You should have a variety of
food stored in case of an emergency and remember that you might not always be
able to heat up your food. If you've built your emergency kit well, you'll be
able to warm up your food on a wood fire.
6.
Self Reliance Cooking - Access to a stove may prove
difficult in an emergency situation. In this case, propane stoves are a perfect
companion. Having hot food to eat keeps your body nourished and helps you deal
with the cold better.
7.
Disaster Survival Lights - In tornadoes and hurricanes,
losing power is a very likely situation. That's why you need emergency
lighting. If you're using an electric lantern, be sure to stock up on
batteries. Light sticks are excellent because they can last very long. They're
fairly cheap and you can get them in varying lengths of hours and different
colors. Stock up several of them.
8. Emergency Survival Tool Kit - In an emergency situation,
you might need some tools for whatever tasks comes your way. You might need to
dig of hole, cut wood, fix the camp stove or tons of other stuff. A self reliance
multi-tool is always handy so make sure you have that.
9. Emergency Radio - To keep up-to-date with the news and
weather reports in a natural disaster emergency you need a radio. It's
important in a that an emergency radio can still play even without power e.g. a
wind-up radio.
10.
Self Reliance Emergency Survival Guides - There are a
lot of useful tips you can get from survival guides. Check with other guides to
see if the information has at least some truth in it. Pay particular attemtion
on the part about foraging. There are many deaths as a result of eating
poisonous food. Mushrooms, in particular, have been responsible for thousands
of deaths through the years. Foraging and self reliance survival guides can
help give you that extra edge. Where your life is concerned, it's always better
to be safe than sorry. Self reliance may take some work but it's the best way
to make sure you and your family come out safe in an emergency. To find out the
