Preparation for
Emergencies
There are thousands of residents in Lebanon County, and only a limited
number of emergency personnel and relief workers. During and after a
disaster, emergency personnel will be available to help residents; however,
it may take days to reach everyone. For that reason you must be prepared to
help yourself. Are you?
The only way to cope with a disaster is to prepare for it before it
happens. The first step is to keep certain supplies on hand in a readily
available location. Remember that when disaster strikes, you won't be the
only person trying to purchase these essential supplies. Many of your local
stores will run out of essential supplies shortly after a disaster.
What should you include in your disaster kit?
Food and Water
 | One gallon of water for each member of your household, canned goods,
sugar, salt and pepper, peanut butter, jelly, crackers, candy bars,
vitamins, cookies, cereals, instant coffee and tea. |
| If an infant or elderly person is in your household, his/her special
dietary needs should also be included. |
First Aid Supplies
| Assorted sizes of adhesive bandages, sterile gauze pads, adhesive
tape, triangular bandages, sterile bandages, scissors, tweezers and
needles, premoistened towels, antiseptic, thermometer, tongue blades,
petroleum jelly, safety pins, waterless soap, latex gloves, sunscreen,
pain reliever, anti-diarrhea medication, antacid, syrup of Ipecac,
laxative and activated charcoal. |
Tools and Supplies
| Mess kits, utensils, battery-operated radio and flashlights, extra
batteries, cash, non-electric can opener, fire extinguisher, tent, pliers,
tape, compass, matches, foil, plastic storage containers, signal flares,
paper, pencils, needles, thread, medicine dropper, a whistle, plastic
sheeting, and map of the area with shelter locations. |
| Also pack a crescent wrench for shutting off natural gas and water
supply valves. |
Sanitation
| Toilet tissue, soap, and liquid detergent, feminine supplies, personal
hygiene items, trash bags, plastic bucket with lid, disinfectant and
chlorine bleach. |
Personal Supplies
| Work boots or sturdy walking shoes, rain suits, sleeping bags or
blankets, hats and gloves, thermal underwear and sunglasses. |
Other Items-All family members should be
considered (including pets) when planning for an emergency. If you have an
infant, elderly or disabled person in your household, you may need the
following items:
| Formula, diapers, bottles, powdered milk, medications such as insulin,
heart and high blood pressure prescriptions, denture needs, contact
lenses, supplies and extra eye glasses, games and books for entertainment. |
| Keep copies of important family documents in a waterproof, portable
container. |
| If you must evacuate, you may need to leave your pet at home; public
shelters will not permit pets. See
www.fema.gov/fema/petsf.htm
or contact your local library for more information |
| If you plan on evacuating to a friend's or relative's home make sure
you take enough food, medications... for your pet. |
