#emergencypreparedness

The most visible components of security are personnel and hardware, but those are just aspects of a larger story. The right mindset is also a huge contributing factor to successful security outcomes. For this podcast episode, we’re joined by Jason Russell, founder and CEO of SEC, Inc. SEC provides high level training in various areas of emergency response. Jason is going to be telling us about the different techniques he teaches schools and companies when considering their security protocols. We’ll also discusses how to deconflict in times of emergency. We look forward to you joining us. 

Artic blasts, flooding and tornados are natural disasters that are all too common nowadays. Preparation and planning for a natural disaster is key, but should be a priority for those with chronic conditions. Tune in as we meet Tiffany, Sam and his wife Lacey who have experienced natural disasters and share how they prepared their supplies, food and considered thoughtful family planning.

Car Safety : Emergency Supply kit for your car .
ADAPTED FROM READY.GOV
Plan long trips carefully and listen to the radio or television for up-to-date weather forecasts and road conditions. In bad weather drive only if absolutely necessary.

In case you are stranded, have your emergency supply kit in the car along with:
* Jumper cables
* Flares or reflective triangle
* Ice scraper
* Car cell phone charger
* Blanket (We love these  https://amzn.to/37SpMAx )
* Map
* Cat litter or sand (for better tire traction)
Prepare Your Car for Emergencies
Having a AAA membership not only helps with travel plans and travel discounts, but also helps you when you are stranded on the road. 
Have a mechanic check the following on your car before an emergency:
* Antifreeze levels
* Battery and ignition system
* Brakes
* Exhaust system
* Fuel and air filters
* Heater and defroster
* Lights and flashing hazard lights
* Oil
* Thermostat
* Windshield wiper equipment and washer fluid level
Car Safety Tips
* Keep your gas tank full in case of evacuation or power outages. A full tank will also keep the fuel line from freezing.
* Install good winter tires and make sure they have enough tread, or any chains or studs required in your local area.
* Do not drive through flooded areas. Six inches of water can cause a vehicle to lose control or possibly stall. A foot of water will float many cars.
* Be aware of areas where floodwaters have receded. Roads may have weakened and could collapse under the weight of a car.
* If a power line falls on your car you are at risk of electrical shock. Stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.
* If it becomes hard to control the car, pull over, stop the car and set the parking brake.
* If the emergency could affect the stability of the roadway avoid overpasses, bridges, power lines, signs and other hazards.

  **Your Disaster supplies Kit that we covered on our previous episode:
Evacuations are actually more common than most would imagine. Several months ago, Rory’s family had to evacuate for Hurricane Laura, we had huge fires in California and Oregon which caused lots of evacuations, and those events were what really inspired us to start this little mini-series on what to pack for EMERGENCY on -the-go. So whether its a because of a chemical leak from a nearby industrial accident, bad weather or any other circumstance where you and your family feel threatened or endangered, you might need to leave your home, school, or workplace to avoid danger.  In some cases, you may have a day or two to prepare while other situations might call for an immediate evacuation. Planning is vital to making sure that you can evacuate quickly and safely no matter what the circumstances. And we all like to think, “well, this won’t happen to me.” And hopefully it won’t. But be advised, that the prep you do now for an emergency (besides potentially saving a life and/or making a horrific situation less horrific), will only help you in your travels. There are so many similarities because in both cases, planned travel verses evacuation, you’re still packing and you’re leaving your home. So the work you do now -especially during quarantine when you have extra time at home, it’s the perfect time to take care of yourself and your family. Hopefully you’ll never have to evacuate, but you will have the peace of mind of feeling prepared and develop skills and the tools that enable you to have the travel and on-the-go lifestyle you want to have.
So here’s what to have on hand at work, car and home:
ADAPTED FROM READY.GOV
Before an Evacuation
Learn the types of disasters that are likely in your community and the local emergency, evacuation and shelter plans for each specific disaster.
Plan how you will leave and where you will go if you are advised to evacuate.
Identify several places you could go in an emergency such as a friend’s home in another town or a motel. Choose destinations in different directions so that you have options during an emergency.  If needed, identify a place to stay that will accept pets. Most public shelters allow only service animals.
Check with local officials about what shelter spaces are available for this year.  Coronavirus may have altered your community’s plans. If you evacuate to a community shelter, follow the latest guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for protecting yourself and your family from possible coronavirus: people over 2-years-old should use a cloth facial covering while at these facilities.
Be prepared to take cleaning items with you like masks, soap, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes or general household cleaning supplies to disinfect surfaces.
Maintain at least 6 feet of space betwee

BUILD A BASIC EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT:
After an emergency, you may need to survive on your own for several days. A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency. Being prepared means having your own food, water and other supplies to last for several days.  Make sure your emergency kit is stocked with the items suggested below.  Once you take a look at the basic items consider what unique needs your family might have, such as supplies for pets or seniors.

To assemble your kit store items in airtight plastic bags and put your entire disaster supplies kit in one or two easy-to-carry containers such as plastic bins, backpack, or duffel bag.
A basic emergency supply kit could include the following recommended items:
* Water (one gallon per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation)
* Food (at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food)(can opener or scissors  and utensils, depending on type of food). Ideally the food is high in water and calories.
* Battery-powered or hand crank radio  or television and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert - Extra batteries for that
* Flashlight with Extra batteries for that and light sticks
* First aid kit and manual
* Whistle (to signal for help)
* Plastic sheeting and duct tape (to shelter in place)
* Moist towelettes, Hand Sanitizer garbage bags and plastic ties (for personal sanitation)
* Wrench or pliers (to turn off utilities)
* Manual can opener (for food)
* Physical “real” Local maps and a list of emergency out-of-area contact phone numbers
* Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery - ideally solar
* Dust mask (to help filter contaminated air)
* AND SPEAKING OF MASKS!…..
Since Spring of 2020, the CDC has recommended people include Additional Emergency Supplies in their kits to help prevent the spread of coronavirus or other viruses and the flu.
Consider adding the following items to your emergency supply kit based on your individual needs:
* Masks /Cloth FACE COVERINGS (for everyone ages 2 and above), soap, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes to disinfect surfaces
* Disposable gloves
* Prescription medications
* Non-prescription medications such as pain relievers, anti-diarrhea medication, antacids or laxatives and vitamins
ANY ITEMS THAT MEET YOUR UNIQUE FAMILY NEEDS, SUCH AS: 
* Extra Prescription eyeglasses and contact lens solution, Hearing aid batteries
* Infant formula, bottles, diapers, wipes, pacifiers, and diaper rash cream
* Pet food and extra water for your pet
ALSO PACK
* Cash, coins,  traveler's checks
* Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records, copies of credit cards and ID cards, pictures of your pets and family, phone numbers and maps:  saved electronically and/or ideally in a waterproof, portable container
* Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person- consider additional bedding if you live in a cold-weather climate
