Disaster Packing And Securing Your Survival Gear Kit The Easy Way ift.tt/eA8V8J During the Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand EarthQuakes from 2010 till present. I went through a serious of whats best. What works and what doesn’t. After any event including quakes a number of things can happen. One of those events can be liquefaction and flooding. Of course I didn’t have anything on hand to wrap, pack and secure. So I looked around my property and found even though you believe you have nothing, you will find you have plenty and this little tick works just as well as anything. Bubble wrap. Great for waterproofing and cushioning any item. I had plenty on hand due to those non essential auction purchases. So don’t throw it away after it hits your letter box store it away. Bubble wrap has so many uses, packing and securing your survival gear kit. wrapping broken glass after an event to prevent injury. Patching broken windows, great draft stop. Where to store your kit or kits has been of huge debate. In the house, the garage, shed. Even on the roof. Personally I did what I call kit separation. I purchased the cheapest most useful items for a disaster, you don’t need as much as you think. Think Basic and your good to go. Write your list and decide what you don’t really need. Kit separation. My first point of call would be a rubbish bin, waterproof if possible, with a tightly secured lid. You can store your bin anywhere, having more than one is beneficial. Bubble wrap and store your kit, place it in your bin. Keep one bin outside your house, after an event having it in a open area makes it a little more accessible rather than fighting your way into the garage or shed. I did find this to be a bit of a nightmare as for the liquefaction and flooding in these areas. Should you keep a kit in your home. Yes as close to the door as possible, in any scenario place all kits as close to the entrance as you can, avoid injury at all costs. Keep in waterproof bins or tubes as low-line as possible. Keeping a kit in your car is essential, in many cases you may use your car as shelter so pack your boot with all the essentials you will need to get through. There are many uses for your bin. After the Christchurch February EarthQuakes of 2011 I was relieved to have my bins. Infrastructure was gone and no water in site. I unpacked my bin kit and used the bin to collect and store clean water. Also using a a rubbish bin for rain water for cleaning and washing up. Cheap porta-loo, your bin can be quickly transformed into a loo and placed anywhere at any-time in emergencies. Grab yourself a rubbish bin and get packing. Take care Be prepared April:) ift.tt/1Dnbz9O
