Problem att komma på julklappar? Sätt ihop ett Earthquake Survival Kit!

Här kommer viktig info så här i jordbävningstider...:-)...Man poängterar särskilt vikten av survival kits, så det tycker jag är ett bra julklappstips...

Det är en jäkla massa man ska se till att ha med sig; verktyg, stormkök, filtar, stora soptunnor, kokt vatten, tandtråd, kvast, kvinnliga hygienartiklar, eldsläckare och tusen andra livsuppehållande attiraljer...

WHAT TO DO - PREPARE YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY NOW
Have an earthquake survival kit on hand.
All family members should know how to turn off gas, water, and electricity.
Plan family emergency procedures, and make plans for reuniting your family.
Know emergency telephone numbers (doctor, hospital, police, 911, etc)
Anchor heavy objects to walls (bookcases, wall units, mirrors, cabinets, etc.)
Never place heavy objects over beds, and keep heavy objects lower than head height of shortest member of family.


DURING AN EARTHQUAKE STAY CALM
Inside, stand in doorway, or crouch under a desk or table, well away from windows or glass dividers.
Outside, stand away from buildings, trees, telephones and electrical lines.
On the road, drive away from underpasses and overpasses; stop in safe area; stay in vehicle.

AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE
Check for injuries-provide first aid.
Check for safety-check for gas, water, sewage breaks; check for downed power lines and shorts; turn off appropriate utilities.
Check for building damage and potential problems during aftershocks.
Clean up dangerous spills.
Wear shoes
Turn on the radio and listen for instructions from public safety agencies.
Use telephone for emergencies, only.
