Tools for Disaster Prep

What do a crowbar, a 20-foot rope and a whistle have in common? They are all items that should be in your emergency preparedness kit.

Deborah Tauscher, emergency preparedness coordinator at Mills-Peninsula Health Services, is writing a series of articles about preparing for the worst. The latest one, the fifth in the series, helps you assemble essential items to be ready if a disaster strikes.

Think of what you would need if you and your family were without assistance for seven to 10 days. Deborah’s blog offers a complete list of items you’ll need to be well prepared.

If you missed any of the articles in the emergency preparedness series, you can find them here. Visit the Mills-Peninsula blog again for next month’s tips on preparing hygiene and sanitation supplies.
