My experience putting together an earthquake preparedness kit was very interesting and made me realize that it is very valuable to have all the necessary things in case of an emergency. It made me realizes that we need all these basic and necessary things in our life everyday and without them, it can lead to serious problems. Being healthy and in good physical shape can help you survive in the event of an earthquake or any emergency. In case of an emergency one has to survive off what they have and if a person has a good immune system and can split their supplies they would most likely be able to survive a few days without food or water. There are many natural disaster that can occur that would lead to the use of a preparedness kit and when those natural disasters hit one has to able to run if something is gonna fall on them or be strong enough to help move an object out of their way.
The essential to have in an earthquake preparedness kit are what one needs in their daily life in a daily basis, For the basic essentials like water and food, there should be one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days (drinking and sanitation) and at least three-day supply of non-refrigerated food. After an earthquake there may be difficulty using electric powered devices so one must have a battery-powered radio and a flashlight with extra batteries. Along the way one might get hurt so it's good to have a fist aid kit, filled with band aids, roller bandages, aspirin, if one needs it an extra inhaler, etc. A whistle in case one needs to signal or call out for help. For personal sanitation extra change in clothes, moist towelettes, toilet paper, garbage bags and plastic ties, garbage bags and duct tape can even be used to make a shelter. For households with pets they ashould have extra pet food and extra water for them. For the women in the household they must have their feminine supplies and personal hygiene items. Finally a large plastic container to hold all needed for the preparedness kit.
An earthquake preparedness kit will help one, their pets and family survive an earthquake of great magnitude because the kit would allow them to survive until they get the proper help. My family became involve by contributing to what we need to do during an earthquake and what supplies are needed as well. We talked about who to contact in case of an emergency and where to go when we are alone, or when I'm at school. My meeting point in the event of a major earthquake is that I have to be totally prepared and be able to take care of myself and the others in my household. I saw that these are actual things that could happen and that it is best to keep that in mind and make sure I'm in the right place in case of an emergency.
