Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Not diability particularly, but I just attended another prepare for emergency seminar. Things that we cane asily do to lessen stress:: Make sure to program emergeny call numbers in your cell phone under ICE (In Case of Emergency). paramedics, fire and police are being trained to check cell phones for emergency call numbers in case of emergency. I listed mine as ICE 1, ICE 2, etc. and then put my Dh, my daughter, etc. ALSO: If water supplies get disrupted, we are always told to boil water. But if the means to boil are not available, then one can use common household bleach (with no fragrances - the cheap stuff) and add 16 drops per gallon. So yesterday, we went to the grocery and bought the smallest bottle of bleach -1.3 liters0 and bought glass medicine droppers. I have tied the droppers to the bottle, wrote on the bottle in indelible ink - 16 drops of bleach per gallon of water, shake well. This has been added to our emergency supplies in our tornado corner (the big event here in the mountains of GA). Our water is pumped by electric so it doesn't take much to disrupt the supply, but we also have a creek down hill - probably teeming with microbes just waiting to attack so I wanted to be prepared.
