Preparation Measures
There are 2
simple measures that can help prepare the individual for sitting out the
event or evacuating, as necessary. For evacuation, a disaster supplies
kit may be prepared and for sheltering purposes a stockpile of supplies
may be created. The preparation of a survival kit such as a "72-hour kit," is often advocated by authorities. These kits may include food, medicine, flashlights, candles and money. Also, putting valuable items in safe area is also recommended.
