An Emergency Kit is an important step to prepare, survive and recover from an emergency and in that kit, you should have the following:
- 10 litres of water per person (fill up the bath and buckets with clean water)
- Non-perishable food for 3 days
- A First Aid Kit and Manual
- Essential medications and prescriptions
- A torch
- Battery powered radio
- Waterproof jackets and closed shoes for everyone
- As well as a whistle, utility knife, masking tape and plastic garbage bags.
If a Cyclone is approaching do the following:
- Tape up your windows with wide, tape in a criss-cross pattern
- Take in any loose items like garden furniture and toys
- Disconnect all electrical appliances and external TV and radio aerials
- Park any vehicles under cover, away from trees, powerlines and waterways.
- Go to the strongest part of your house – normally the smallest room with the least windows and stay listening to your radio.
