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

bulletOne 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.
bulletIf an infant or elderly person is in your household, his/her special dietary needs should also be included.

First Aid Supplies

bulletAssorted 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.
