Being prepared is something that we should all do, especially if there are others relying upon us. We are on the topic of survival kits, which are meant to sustain for a long amount of time, should some disaster prevent the normal day to day we are used to.
As the title suggests, this article is focusing on the specific items of a survival kit, more accurately, specific people items.
I am going to assume we all have kids, so you would need to look into what things that child would need. Are they still in diapers? Then buy a box or two of store brand diapers (with at least one of the boxes being a size bigger than they need presently) as well as a few of the store name wipes refills. I would also suggest making a small investment in cloth diapers if your budget allows. This way if your disposable supply runs out before you are able to get more, you won't be left high and dry... or wet as the case may be.
ToastyBaby.com is local. They offer cloth diaper products, as well as diaper service if you are interested in the greener option now.
When packing a survival kit for children, keep in mind their attention span. Add extra things that my not be necessary for survival in the strictest sense, but would be very helpful, such as crayons & coloring books, story books, chapter books (depending on the child's age) and even toys. The picture above has a few ideas for a child's survival kit.
Is your child given to certain illnesses or conditions? Pack items that would help with that. My son has very dry skin, so his kit would include a decent supply of moisturizer. If there is a regular medication, vitamin or supplement that your children take, try to get a good stock of those so you always have plenty on hand. Check your prescription plan to see if you are able to order multiple months at a time for a discounted rate. Sometimes your pharmacy will even fill several months at a time as long as your doctor has written a specific prescription for the amount. Often times this can be accomplished through a mail order prescription plan.
Soon we will cover other specific items for your family's kit, as well as some other ways to be prepared for a major disaster.
