You Need a Emergency Safety Kit That Can Help Others Too

A common mistake that many people make when purchasing a emergency safety kit is only buying what they will need for themselves. While your disaster supplies are primarily for your benefit, you will undoubtedly run into a friend or family member who needs help as well. If your emergency safety kit only has enough supplies for yourself then you have two options and neither of them are good. You can either keep everything for yourself and put your friend or loved one at risk, or you can split your supplies with them which puts you both at risk because neither of you will have enough of what you need. Our emergency safety kit has been designed to include enough items for two people, while remaining extremely lightweight and easy to carry. As an added bonus, if you don't end up needing to help someone else, you will be able to survive for up to six days of relying solely on your emergency safety kit.

• The biggest barrier to creating an emergency pack is knowing what to put in it. We have chosen every item in our emergency safety kit based upon the recommendations of preparedness industry experts as well as government agencies.
• Even the most far-fetched natural disaster can quickly become a reality. Statistically, the least likely natural disaster in Canada is being struck by lightning. While this is true, every year an average of 10 people die and an additional 160 people are injured due to lightning.
• The most common natural hazard in Canada is massive flooding. Over the course of the year, every Canadian River will flood at least once and is considered to cause more personal property damage than any other natural disaster.
• Every year, Canada sees more than 50+ tornadoes touched down and cause damage. This is more than any other country in the world, excluding the United States.
• Few people realize that there are between 3,500 and 5,000 earthquakes in Canada every year. Along with the quake itself, aftershocks can cause significant damage, collapsed buildings, cause landslides, and create tsunamis.

Our Emergency Safety Kit Never Overlooks the Need for Medical Treatment

When purchasing a emergency safety kit, it is easy to overlook the need for a first aid kit. After an emergency strikes, an emergency medical kit is the last thing that most people consider to be a priority. This is unfortunate because even the smallest scratches can quickly become infected. After a natural disaster, anyone with an open wound becomes at risk for tetanus, other bacterial infections, and fungal infections if the wound is not properly cleaned and treated.

Your Emergency Safety kit Can Be Used in Your Home or After You Evacuate

It is important when you purchase a home emergency kit to consider its value both in your home and if you need to evacuate. It is not uncommon for a emergency safety kit to include items which make it particularly useful in one situation but not the other. This can create a dangerous scenario because you never know exactly what you will need to do. That is why our emergency safety kit is equally beneficial, regardless of where you take shelter.
