As Fast as A Tornado ;)

HOW TO STAY SAFE WHEN A TORNADO THREATENS

FEMA PDF: INSTANT DOWNLOAD HOW TO PREPARE FOR A TORNADO

Know the difference between a watch (conditions are favorable for a tornado to form) and a warning (a tornado has been spotted in your area and you should take shelter immediately)
*
Prepare NOW
* Create an emergency plan so that you and your family know what you will do, where you will go, and what you will need to take with you to safely weather the storm. — all the things we’ve discussed in previous episodes, beginning with Episode 91 apply.- ANd just a reminder to teach/make sure your family how to administer basic first aid, how to use a fire extinguisher, and how and when to turn off water, gas, and electricity in your home.You need your emergency plan, your go bag, etc. What we’ll share here is additional to and specific to tornadoes and hurricanes:

* Once you have identified your safe location, prepare for long-term social distancing by gathering emergency supplies, cleaning supplies, non-perishable foods, and water. You already know what to pack in your “go-Bag” from episode 94 and from our last few episodes. It’s possible you’ll need enough supplies for several weeks. Now is a great time to start slowly building up your supplies in advance to allow longer time periods between shopping trips, because even if you don’t have to evacuate, being prepared allows you to avoid unnecessary excursions (and reserves supplies for those in greater need). It also allows you to address minor medical issues at home, alleviating the burden on urgent care centers and hospitals.
* Texts are more effective in possibly getting through than calls, so try texting first.

Get your home ready.
* Clear your yard. Make sure there’s nothing that could blow around during the storm and damage your home. Move bikes, lawn and patio furniture, grills, propane tanks, and building material
* Board and/or Cover up windows and doors. Use storm shutters or nail pieces of plywood to the outside window frames to protect your windows. This can help keep you safe from pieces of shattered glass. We’ll cover more ways to secure your household goods in our next episode.
* Be ready to turn off your power. If you see flooding, downed power lines, or you have to leave your home, switch your power off.
* Fill clean water containers with drinking water. You’ll want to do this in case you lose your water supply during the storm. You can also fill up your sinks and bathtubs with water for washing.
* Check your carbon monoxide (CO) detector’s battery to prevent CO poisoning
Be ready to evacuate or stay at home.
Always listen to authorities regarding whether you should evacuate or stay at home.

Is your Car ready for an Emergency Situation?

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.

What to Pack and How to Prepare for an Evacuation

**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

What to Pack in your Emergency Disaster Preparedness Kits

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

#16 - Disaster Management & Funding a Recovery

Another Perspective - July 20, 2020 - So many challenges face humanity at this most important juncture. Our economic system, already near the end of this long expansion, was abruptly halted with COVIV19. The economic toll of COVID is still unknowable, but likely to be greater than all recent wars combined. Now we have the planet and its natural calamities adding more fuel to the fire.

Are there solutions to be found amidst the problems of the day? Can we see them, or will we continue to rely on centralized governments to fund/come to the rescue?

Sometime soon, the primary tool that governments have to deploy for these challenges, their respective currencies, will fail to work. We need to be prepared for that eventuality.
