The Time Manager

  Even though you have planned and practiced for whatever disaster may come your way...

You have to consider that you may not be home when a disaster strikes, or you may not be able to get home immediately afterwards. You could be stranded on the road for any number of reasons, or have to evacuate your home and have nowhere to go. You should have a small kit in your car - again, planning to live in or around your car for up to 3 days.

Your kit should include:
  • Store everything in a sturdy backpack in the car:

 

  • Crow bar (in reach of driver)
  • Hunting knife
  • Swiss Army knife (or equivalent)
  • Small shovel
  • Waterproof flashlight with krypton or LED bulb with 2 sets of batteries & light bulb
  • Cyalume light sticks
  • Butane lighter
  • Waterproof/windproof matches
  • Candle in a deep can
  • Warning light or road flares
  • Tow rope and jumper cables
  • Roadmaps
  • Fire extinguisher

 

  • Heavy poncho
  • Thermal blanket
  • Tarp

 

  • Medical kit
  • Surgical gloves

 

  • 2 gallon water per person
  • 72-hour supply of food
  • List of contact numbers

 

  • Toilet paper
  • Pre-moistened towelettes
  • Hard hat and safety goggles
  • Dust/mist respirators, disposable (10 per person)
  • Bandanna for each person

 

  • Change of clothing (outdoor) for each person
  • Female protection for 3 days


Store everything in a sturdy backpack or other easy-to-grab container



---- Remember, in many emergencies, your computer will be inaccessible, so a hard copy of any Paradise Organized chapters you find especially helpful is a good thing to have on hand! ----
