Whether you are at home, work or elsewhere, there may be situations when it’s best to stay where you are.
3-day supply of food and water per person when no refrigeration and/or cooking is available
- Protein/granola bars
- Trail mix/dried fruit
- Crackers/cereal (for munching)
- Canned foods- tuna, beans, meat, Vienna sausages, etc.(Pop-top cans can leak, jerky can “flavor” other items)
- Canned juice
- Candy/gum (jolly Ranchers can melt, and mint gum might “flavor” other items)
- Three-to-five day supply of water at one gallon per person per day
- A non-electric can opener
This is referred to as “Shelter-in-place” and “sealing the room”.
“Sealing the room” is a temporary measure- and works best with some pre-planning.
If there is damage to your home, or if you are instructed to turn off your utilities:
- Locate the electric, gas and water shut-off valves
- Keep necessary tools near gas and water shut-off valves
- Teach family members how to turn off utilizes
If you turn off the gas, a professional must turn it back on. Do not attempt to do this yourself.
