•             Feb 2011 – Demonstration/ social unrest in Egypt and Libya

The latest:

*** March 2011 – Earthquake and tsunami in Japan

Demonstrations can rage out of control…

Riots break out over jury verdicts to sports championships…

Natural disasters turn neighbors into hunger-panicked zombies…

The fact is, while we’d like to think that everyone can just “get along” and make nice.

Unfortunately, news reports reveal the truth!

When our social fabric gets unraveled…

…man is typically at his WORST!

Looters will break windows, set buildings on fire, and attack anyone they want without fear of getting caught or being held accountable for their actions.

We have seen it thousand times!

The truth is you and your family are at risk, you want to survive and protect your loved ones!

Besides the conventional Disaster Evacuation Kits, below are 3 items you ‘should’ consider carrying:

1. Mini-Prybar

The number of uses for a pry-bar are endless, one of it is the “Exhumer 8″ from Dead On Tools.

If you’re on the run or bugging out, you can use it for breaching obstacles, gaining entrance to a door or even getting out of a trapped car.

Wrap it in 550 paracord and it’s a beast of a self defense tool as both ends are brutally sharp and will seriously jack

someone up!

2. Universal Handcuff Key

As controversial as it may seem to some, you DO want to be able to escape from handcuffs if you need to.

There are plastic keys now that fit nearly all (or all) handcuffs universally and take up no room at all.

If you’re ever handcuffed behind your back (as in say a home invasion, hostage situation, etc.), you can easily get the key and unlock yourself or hand it off to someone else to unlock you.

3. Security Officer’s Badge

The thing about thugs is that they know that the stakes are much higher if they attack a police officer.

Now, not to impersonate an officer, but let’s say you get trapped in a riot as a result of a demonstration that went horribly wrong.

Assuming that police aren’t the target of the demonstrators, having a badge that looks like an officer’s badge could ward off attackers who think you’re just another easy mark as they rampage through the area.

You’d just take out the badge and tell them to “Back off! Just go your way and I’ll go mine and neither of us need to make this an issue. Got it?” and then back out to safety as you assume their agreement.

The above just a few great items to carry as disaster survival kits, there are more crucial disaster and chaos survival tactics and guides, learn these survival tips Now!

Act now, this can be a matter of life and death of you and your family!

Disaster can strike quickly and often without warning. It is a good idea to be prepared for emergencies that might affect your home, such as a gas leak, flood or hurricane. You can protect yourself from some disasters by fitting devices such as smoke alarms or a carbon monoxide detector. However, in the event of a large-scale disaster, the whole area may be affected, so you will need to have an emergency supply kit to provide you and your family with basic life support for at least a few days until help arrives.

Emergency Supplies on Hand

Would you be ready if a disaster struck your home? What if your basic services – water, gas, electricity ­were cut off? Would you know how to cope and to help your family to remain safe? In order to be as prepared as possible for any emergency that might occur, keep a disaster supply kit on hand that contains the following items.

1.    Water

In a time of natural disaster, your water supply may be cut off or contaminated. To prepare for this situation, store about 4.5 litres (8 pints) of water per person per day – you should store enough for three days. In hot weather or if you’re likely to engage in physical activity, include an extra 2 liters (3Y> pints) per person per day. It is important to use plastic containers for storage, as other containers, such as milk cartons or glass bottles, may decompose or break. Remember to replace this water about every six months to ensure that it’s safe and clean to drink. If a disaster occurs, immediately store additional water in any other plastic containers that you can find.

2.     Food

Try to store at least a three-day supply of non-perishable items for the whole family. Foods that don’t require refrigeration, preparation or cooking are best, such as canned meats, fruits, vegetables and soups or dried foods, such as biscuits or cereals. Consider including vitamins and food supplements. You could have a small camping stove available for heating up your food. Don’t forget baby foods. Make sure that you replace your supplies every six months so that they remain fresh.

3.    First-aid Kit

Include different-sized sterile bandages and gauze pads, latex gloves, scissors, tweezers, a needle and strong thread, moistened towelettes, sunscreen, antiseptic, soap, a thermometer and a tube of petroleum jelly. You should also include non-prescription drugs, such as aspirin, anti-diarrhea tablets and antacids, as well as any prescription medicines, such as asthma drugs, Epi-Pens (adrenaline shots) and insulin. Consult your pharmacist for advice on obtaining and storing prescription drugs. Remember family members with special requirements, such as children and elderly people, who might need items like nap pies, spare dentures or an extra pair of glasses.

4.     Tools and Supplies

Make sure that you are fully prepared for any disaster. Include plastic eating utensils and plates, a battery-operated radio and extra batteries, a torch, a penknife with a can opener, a compass, signal flares, paper and pencil, matches in a waterproof container, a whistle and a map of the area. Don’t forget sanitation products, such as toilet paper, soap, personal hygiene items, disinfectant, household bleach and plastic bin bags.

5.    Clothing and Footwear

Your kit should include a complete change of clothing and footwear for every family member. Make sure that you have sturdy shoes or boots and waterproof clothing for everyone. Also include hats, gloves and thermal underwear. Have at least two rescue blankets.

6.    Documents

Keep important documents, such as passports, insurance policies and medical records, in a waterproof, portable and preferably fireproof container. Make copies of everything and keep them in a safety-deposit box or with a trusted friend or relative. Have a list of emergency numbers on hand along with enough cash to last a couple of weeks – this should include spare change.

If a disaster occurs:

If the authorities advise you to stay in your home, monitor local radio and television and follow the official advice. Close and lock all your windows and exterior doors, and block off any other places where air gets in, such as the fireplace. Remain calm. Check for injuries and give first aid, if necessary. Call your emergency contact, then don’t use the phone again, unless there is an emergency. Evacuate if advised to do so.
