This week for homefun we have to complete our Household emergency checklist as well as a home hazard map. We learned about the 16 important survival items we need in an emergency.Click on the sheet to download a PDF.
The Emergency Items should include:
Emergency items
Torch with spare batteries
Radio with spare batteries (check all batteries every 3 months)
A change of clothes for all family members (wind and waterproof clothing, sun hats, and strong outdoor shoes)
First aid kit and essential medicines
Blankets or sleeping bags
Pet supplies
Toilet paper and large rubbish bags for your emergency toilet
Face and dust masks
Food and water for at least three days
Non-perishable food (canned or dried food)
Bottled water (at least 3 litres per person, per day for drinking)
Plan how to get water for washing and cooking (check your hot water cylinder, pond, toilet cistern if it is free of chemicals)

A primus or gas barbeque to cook on
A can opener
Check and replace food and water every twelve months.
Supplies for babies and small children
Food, formula and drink
Change of clothing and nappies

Assemble everything you need for your Emergency Survival Items and place it somewhere that is easy to get to in an emergency. Make sure everyone in your house knows where your Emergency Survival Items are kept. If you prefer to keep some of your Emergency Survival Items in the house for everyday use, make sure you know where to find them quickly when an emergency occurs.
