Always be prepared for an emergency: Red Cross The Canadian Red Cross wants families to be prepared for potential emergencies in the community by building their own kit during Emergency Preparedness Week, May 5-11. "Everyone has the power to help themselves and their families to minimize the effect of a disaster by preparing a disaster kit," Jennifer Faulknor, Red Cross disaster management volunteer, said in a press release. The Red Cross recommends everyone should prepare to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours following a disaster. That can be done by creating an emergency preparedness kit. "If there is a disaster in the middle of the night, such as a house fire, you won't have time to collect any belongings," Faulknor said. "Having a ready-to-go kit containing essential documents, medication, cash and other items can ensure the health and safety of your family during a stressful time." The Red Cross offers the following checklist to help families put together a home disaster kit: · flashlight and batteries · radio and batteries (or a wind-up radio) · toilet paper and personal supplies · important papers such as ID and personal documents · canned food, bottled water, and a manual can opener · replace food and batteries once each year · one change of clothing and shoes · blankets or sleeping bags · extra car keys and cash · a whistle to attract attention · first-aid kit · medication The Canadian Red Cross also provides free emergency personal preparedness workshops in the community during the year. As part of this week, the Red Cross is hosting displays at various venues.
