BE ABLE TO REFILL A WEEK IN
ADVANCE.

DISASTER YOUR PHONE MAY NOT
WORK.

WE MIGHT WANT IN HIS SUITCASE.
I LOVE THIS IDEA BECAUSE DON'T
WE ALL HAVE HIS SUITCASE THAT
SOMETHING CAME LOOSE OR IT CAN
BE A PERFECT PLACE TO STORE
YOUR SUPPLIES.
YOUR SUPPLIES. >> A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE HAVE
ROLLING SUITCASES OR BACKS
THAT ARE BEING STORED IN A
CLOSET AND WE ARE JUST NOT
USING THEM AND THEY ARE EMPTY.
THE BEAUTIFUL PART OF THAT IS
THAT THEY ARE ROLLING
SUITCASES AND THEY ARE ALREADY
MADE TO TRAVEL.
THAT IS THE WHOLE SINCE ABOUT
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. THESE ARE PACKED AND READY TO
GO.
GO.
GO. YOU

THE THINGS WE NEED TO THINK
ABOUT.

HAVE.
HAVE.
HAVE. >>
HAVE. >> YOU SHOULD HAVE A LIGHT
WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE.
WHETHER IT IS IN YOUR GLOVE
BOX OR YOUR KID EVERYBODY
NEEDS LIGHT.
NEEDS LIGHT. OFTEN TIMES THAT THE POWER
GOES OUT FROM A WINTER STORM
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
HAPPENED SO WE ALWAYS NEED TO
HAVE LIGHT WITH US.
YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE WHAT
DAMAGE HAS HAPPENED WITHOUT
HAVING THAT AVAILABLE.
THE MESSAGE BEHIND HAVING THAT
LIGHT IS THAT THE MORE THE
BETTER.
BETTER.
BETTER. IN THE NORTHWEST WE KNOW THAT
BEING COLD IS BAD.
STAYING WARM IS INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT. ALWAYS HAVING A BLANKET WITH
A. HAVE AN EMERGENCY BLANKET
WITH YOU.
WITH YOU.
WITH YOU. THIS IS STAYING DRY SEE YOU
WILL NOT HAVE HYPOTHERMIA.
IF YOU GET CALL THAT CAN
CHANGE THE WHOLE GAME PLAN.

THOSE AND JUST ADDING THEM.

IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A MUST-
HAVE.
HAVE.
HAVE. >>
HAVE. >> YOU CAN GET THESE PRETTY
MUCH ANYWHERE.
MUCH ANYWHERE. THEY CAN RANGE FROM $20-$80.
THE BEAUTIFUL PART ABOUT THESE
WEATHER RADIOS IS THEY HAVE
LIGHTS ON THEM AND CRANKS SO
THEY CAN HAVE BATTERIES BUT
THEY ALSO HAVE A LIGHT AND A
USB CHARGER SO YOU CAN CONTINUE
TO CHARGE YOUR PHONE OR OTHER
DEVICES YOU MAY NEED.
>> SO YOU CAN CRANK IT UP TO
GET THE ENERGY AND THEN PLUG
YOUR PHONE INTO IT.
>> WHAT IS THIS?
>> THIS IS EXTRA CLOTHING.
THE ESSENCE IS TO HAVE
SOMETHING THAT CAN GET YOU BY
AT LEAST THREE DAYS.
>> YOU HAVE THESE QUEST
COOKIES WHICH I REALLY LOVE.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF PROTEIN
WHICH WILL KEEP YOU SATISFIED.
TAKE A LOOK AT WHEN THEY EXPIRE
. LET'S TALK ABOUT MAKING
DRINKING WATER SAFE.
>> WATER IS INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT WHETHER FOR
HYDRATION, HYGIENE, INJURIES.
HAVING MULTIPLE SOURCES OF
WATER WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES IS
REALLY THE MAIN KEY.
WE HAVE A WATER BOTTLE HERE.
THIS HAS A STABLE SHELFLIFE.
IT ALSO HAS A LIFESTYLE THAT
YOU CAN ACCESS DIFFERENT WATER
SOURCES AND IT CAN STRAIN OUT
THE THINGS YOU ARE NOT
SUPPOSED TO INGEST.
>> IF YOU HAVE PUT WATER AWAY
IN A JUG OR IN THE GARAGE HOW
OFTEN SHOULD WE BE REPLACING
MATT?
MATT?
MATT? >>
MATT? >> IT DEPENDS ON THE WATER
SOURCE.
SOURCE.
SOURCE. I
SOURCE. I CHECK MINE AT LEAST ONCE A
YEAR.
YEAR.
YEAR. YOU
YEAR. YOU DO NOT WANT A SITUATION
WHERE YOU ARE IN A DISASTER
AND YOUR WATER OR FOOD SOURCE
IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AND HE
CANNOT INGEST IT THEN YOU ARE
SICK IN A DISASTER.
>> HOW DO YOU KEEP TRACK OF IT.
>> I USE A SHARPIE MARKER
WHICH YOU SHOULD ALREADY HAVE
I PERSONALLY MARK THE SIDE OF
THE WATER SOURCE.
I HAVE JACKSON GALLONS OF
WATER AND I PUT THE EXPIRATION
DATE RIGHT THERE.
>> TELL ME ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. >>
HERE. >> STAYING DRY AND HAVING A
TEMPORARY SHELTER.
TEMPORARY SHELTER. PONCHOS. IF YOU GET DRY THEY
CHANGE THE GAME.
>> THEY ARE GREAT FOR A
COMMUTER KIT.
COMMUTER KIT. YOU HAVE YOUR HAND SANITIZER
AND ICE SCRAPER, FLASHLIGHT
WHISTLE, ALL OF THOSE THINGS
THAT YOU CAN HAVE THAT ARE
SMALL AND PACKABLE FOR
CONNECTICUT'S.
CONNECTICUT'S. THERE IS ALSO A PHONE CHARGER
SO IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT
YOU NEED TO ACCESS IT STILL
HAS POWER.
HAS POWER. >> SO YOU CAN JUST GET A FIRST
AID KIT AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF
LISTS ABOUT WHAT TO THINK
ABOUT IN THAT REGARD.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.
>> AND JUSTIN THINGS THAT
SHOULD NOT BE IN OUR BODIES.
ALREADY HAVING A DISASTER WE
DO NOT WANT TO INGEST OTHER
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. OBVIOUSLY DURING DISASTERS WE
MIGHT BE IN A POSITION WHERE
WE MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE HEAVY
THINGS OR HAVE DAMAGE TO THE
STRUCTURES.
STRUCTURES. WORKING GLOVES ARE VERY
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT. YOU DO NOT WANT TO HARM YOUR
HAND FOR MANY CANNOT USE THEM.
>> YOU CAN COLLECT CANS.
>> YOU WILL NEED A CAN OPENER
AND A FOOD SOURCE AND HEAT
SOURCE.
SOURCE.
SOURCE. THAT IS FIND OUT AT HOME.
IF YOU ARE ON THE GO OBVIOUSLY
LIGHTER FOR THAT YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO COOK IS THE PRIMARY
POINT OF THAT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE TALK ABOUT
HAVING PEANUT BUTTER AND NUTS.
TUNAFISH IS GREAT EXCEPT FOR
THE FACT THAT OFTEN TIMES WE
FORGET OR OVERLOOK CHECKING IT
SO THE OILS AND THOSE TYPES OF
FOODS CAN GO BAD OR RANCID.
WE DO NOT WANT TO GO IN A
SITUATION WHERE WE CAN HAVE
FOOD POISONING OR GET SICK ON
