Considering What to Put in an Earthquake Emergency Kit 2020

Hi everybody today we would like to talk about Earthquake Kit 2020. Earthquakes strike with no notice. They have the ability to rupture waterlines, knock out power, and leave you wholly reliant on the supplies that you have on hand.

Depending on the strength of the earthquake, you may have to sustain yourself for days before the government will be able to help you. Preparing your earthquake emergency kits now can help to ensure that you have the basic survival essentials in place to be self-reliant. Let’s continue with the following items:

Top 11 necessaty items in case of natural disasters 

Critical Components ( Foods, Water, Medication and Cash )

• Medication: Have a 30-day supply of prescription medications, non-prescription medications, and vitamins.
• Cash: Keep a supply of small bills in your kit to keep your buying power in case credit card machines are down.
