Every time there is a disaster I pray for those who are missing loved ones. I pray for those without. With the current tornadoes that hit Oklahoma, they are saying it might be the biggest tornado in history. It very well may have been, one thing that we will never forget are the children and the schools that are in the path of the tornado.
When I see these disasters like tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes or other disasters natural or even man made, I think of what I would do if I were there. At one point in my life I lived on the east coast and lived through Hurricane Hugo back in the late eighties. We spent a long time without power and had to cut many many trees and torn houses up. Now I wonder if it happened to me, is my family ready. Do I have my 72 hour kits ready? Food, clothing, medicine, communication, fire, and power.

Below are some basic needs to keep stored in your grab bag, your bug out kit, or your 72 hour kit, whatever you may call it.

What is one of the first things you realize in severe weather, disasters and other emergencies? The power goes out! Guess what the cordless phones go dead and you only have cell usage, that is hoping the cell tower still has power, until your cell battery goes dead. Then what? Use a battery powered walkie talkie to communicate. Like these that reach 16 miles.
Sure you could get the rechargeable walkie talkies, but then when the power is out you are back to square one. One other idea is to charge the rechargeable ones using the solar charger at the bottom.
Make sure you know whether to go out or not. Stay in tuned with the weather with a weather radio.
