Emergency Food And Water Bins

By Eric Holm


Planning a kit with emergency food and water may be a great way to stay organized and well planned. A home can have a special bin in the basement or in the kitchen to be used in the event of a natural disaster. There are some special items that can be placed in these bins. In the event of a hurricane, fire, earthquake, tornado or flood, bins can help a family survive over the long haul. A three day food supply should be at least part of the kit. Taking into consideration the family's size, and special diet issues may help to pack a bin that is custom for a family to use. If there are any special medical items or a baby that needs supplies, then adding those items on a regular basis may be helpful. As a baby grows or medical needs change, homeowners can simply add or remove items from the emergency bin.

In times of disasters you may not be able to have any access to clean water or food supplies even if you have a lot of money to spend. Often times emergency rescue units, paramedics, and first responders cannot reach your home or area immediately. By being preparing in advance you can be assured that every member of your household will have the proper food and necessary water that they need to survive and not get dehydrated or starve.

Edible items should be quick to open and eat. Lots of snacks and easily accessible meals should be placed in the bin. These items will need to be ready to open and ready to eat quickly to help people function after a disaster. Long expiry dates are important of any home kit.

Bottled drinks may be included in the kit, as well as filters and tablets. If the water were to run dry, that would leave people with having to resort to drinking it from other sources. Rainwater, pools, rivers and streams may have to be used to quench the thirst that may be present. In order to survive, people will need to drink liquid that is filtered and healthy. Using the tablets may help to create a healthy substance to drink.

Emergency food and water can be packed away as well as other essential tools and items. Things like flashlights, radios that work on batteries and can openers may help people survive. A small camping stove may be included as well as a kettle for boiling water. Extra batteries, toilet paper and paper towel may help someone survive a few days outside of their home. Planning in advance for natural disasters is a great way to think ahead and be prepared if the event should ever strike. Having the right materials could help your family function over a few days to weeks if the need should ever arise.
