BASIC FIRST AID

REMEMBER

• don’t pack more than you can carry, or the weakest person in your group can carry
• leave sentimental items behind. Only take what will keep you alive.
• always travel in pairs – never alone.
• shelter together in groups for protection and strength.
• stay in communication with trusted friends & Family.
• SMS can often work where cell phone calls may not
• pack for evacuation NOW. Do not wait!!
• plan for worst case event NOW. Do not wait!!
• expect to survive two weeks or more without help
• memorize plans and trusted friends contact info
• do not rely on help arriving when you need it. You WILL be on your own.
• be smart, don’t bring attention to yourself
• do what you have to do to survive, no one can ask any more from you than that.

MANAGE STRESS

AM I READY TO SAFELY EVACUATE?

Don’t Expect Help: When will help arrive? … Hours, Days, Weeks, Never? Your survival depends on YOUR preparedness.. Who is dependent upon you?

Have An Evacuation Plan In Place: Is safe evacuation possible? Is there enough time to evacuate? How long will it take? Is evacuating more dangerous than staying? Can everyone be evacuated? Do you have a plan? Have you talked about the plan with your family?

Before You Leave: Do you have multiple copies of yours important papers? Have you liquidated your assets into cash form? Do you have family coordination plans/designated meet up places in the city, out of town, out of country?

Evacuation Time: Will you be leaving from your home? What if evacuation is necessary when your family is in different places? What evacuation routes will you take? Where will you go? Tonight, Tomorrow, Next Week, Long Term? How will you get there? Car, Bicycle, foot, other? How will you know the route you’ve planned is safe when you’re ready to evacuate?

Go Bag: You will need to leave very quickly and quietly to survive. It may take days, even weeks to find safety/rescue. What would you need to survive in a hard environment, while on the move? Physcial needs, psychological, tools, resources, aides, supplies? What would you need to survive two weeks on your own? Consider weight – 17 kg’s, size = backpack.

Security: Keep alert – be aware of your surroundings. Trust your instincts. Always know a way out of anywhere. Travel during daylight, if extreme weather. Have a personal and home defense plan.

Basic Guidelines: Always Stay warm, stay dry, clean = prevent disease and infection. Protect your feet, head, organs and hands. Always stay hydrated, stay in communication with others.
