Your Urban Disaster Survival And Basic steps To Undertake Seconds Right After The Disaster

By Luke Campden


Urban disaster survival could happen any time. After a recent earthquake, Japan was basically compelled into an urban disaster survival predicament and had to get a way of getting through hour by hour until finally support could show up. We realized even the speediest support might be hours and in some cases days away based upon where you are situated and how tough it might be to reach your region.

Now is the time to plan for your urban survival gear before disaster strikes and you have to figure out what to do. One of the first considerations is safety. Right away get in a safe location as soon as you can move around. It may only be a difference of 20 feet, but you must place your safety at an important level in order to become part of the rescue effort later.

Next is to make sure you have a supply of survival water. You can store water in containers, bottles or purchase water that is specially treated to remain drinkable for many months. Replace it as often as required by the directions. For your own container water, replace it every month. You do not have to waste the old water. Use it to water plants, bath, cook or wash clothes or your car.

Always have a plan for food. Canned food with a pop top and ready to eat is one of the easiest and most survivable foods you can store. They are easy to purchase at any grocery store. Invest in fruit, vegetables, juice and milk. Each one will keep you alive and healthy while surviving a disaster. Children will thrive on these products. If you must collect food products to try and survive for a short time from an urban disaster, collect candy, hard candy, bread, peanut butter and foods that can be eaten right away.

You need to be cautious with anything you gather throughout the survival period. Ensure it is not polluted. When the goods are enclosed they ought to be okay. However for lightly sealed or unsealed foods you have to watch out for contamination from sewage, coal and oil from the highways, detergent or any other environmentally harmful chemical substances found after a disaster.

Keep your gear close by and in an area you can access. A storage shed is easy to dig through to reach emergency gear. Keep it sealed in a plastic container for freshness and protection. If you plan ahead you can avoid thirst and hunger during the clean up of a natural disaster.
