Natural disasters are sometimes difficult to predict and the best one can do is to stay expecting it and that entails been prepared. It's not a mandatory that you be an expert in it but a few precautionary measures during and after the earthquake can save lives and this include an earthquake survival kit. This among other steps should be made aware especially in areas along the seismic lines as they are worse affected.
The mortality rate has been high in the past and recent times and we all know that as long as the tectonic plates moves they won't stop hitting. Other earth moving activities include volcanic actions, collision, submission and separation of tectonic plates etc. Humans can induce tremors from building large water dams, trains movement and military actions such as atomic bomb detonations. This anthropogenic shakes are less destructive as the magnitude and intensity is low.
Some of personal safety measure include; having enough food and medical stock for survival, teaching your family which rooms are safe to hide, keeping heavy objects low, store flammable objects from potential ignition etc. During the earthquake one should stop driving and park the vehicle, stay away from building, glass, under trees and power lines. After earthquake go humanitarian by helping the injured, switch off naked wires and wait until the buildings is accessed to be safe.
Ensure that the toolkit remains within the vicinity. This should be stored in schools, homes, workplaces and vehicles or any other place that you spend a lot of time in. The kit should be carefully stored and if possible be made from strong plastic to endure destruction and avoid the content being damaged by water in case of floods. The location for its storage should be notified to everyone and be very assessable.
The content includes medical supply; bandage and strips, cotton-tipped swabs adhesive tape roll etc. Other accessories include soaps, scissors, needles, instruction book among other. This kit can be purchased in local market at very convenient places. This is very necessary because when it hits there is no time to assemble the items.
Isolation for up to 72 hours is very probable and this means one need to be ready to survive on their own. This is mostly caused by communication fallout as a result of network facilities breakdown. Basic services such as gas, sewerage and water are cut off as the infrastructure are severely damaged. Therefore when getting ready with the emergency strategy that should be in your mind.
A part of being prepared means that one should be psychologically ready for such occurrences something that majority of people lack. Panic is the last thing needed. These supply in your kit can be source of chaos as people might want help or one might underestimate the seriousness of the matter and use them carelessly.
Nature is fascinating and scaring in the same time when it shows its dark part. Casualties are hard to miss but if prepared and follow the measures to the latter the mortality rate can be decreased tremendously. Children shouldn't be isolated and this means introducing disaster preparedness lessons.
