When Summer Storms Strike Damage to your Howell Area Home or Business; SERPRVO of Howell/Wall is there!

Are you ready for the heavy rains and summer thunderstorms of the Jersey Shore?  Now is a great time to prepare an Emergency Supply Kit to have the supplies necessary to deal with disaster.  No better time than the present to get your kit put together.  You want to make sure it is ready well in advance of an emergency. You never know if you will have to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you.   At that time, you will most likely not have time to search for the supplies you need or shop for them.

So, you may be asking; what is an emergency kit, what do I need to survive? You will need to have your own food, water and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least 72 hours.

Here is what a recommended Emergency Supply Kit should include:

• Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
• Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
• Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather
• Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both Flashlight and extra batteries
• First aid kit
• Whistle to signal for help
• Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air
• Plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
• Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
• Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
• Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food)
• Local maps
• Phone charges with adapters to allow charging in an automobile
