Develop a family safety plan

An emergency preparedness plan is your family's guide to safety. Learn about potential disasters that can occur in your community and discuss what each family member should do.
Identify a place for family members to meet if separated by a disaster.
Establish an out-of-town friend or relative to act as a point of contact for separated family members to call. Make sure everyone has the number.
Ask your local emergency management office about your community's warning system, evacuation plans and routes and the location of public shelters near your home, work or school.
Complete an emergency preparedness checklist and review it with your family.
Depending on the type of disaster, determine the best escape routes from your house and find the safest place in your house.
Locate the main electric fuse box, water service main and natural gas main. Teach responsible family members how and when to turn these utilities off. Keep necessary tools near gas and water shut-off valves.
Post emergency numbers by the telephone.
Learn emergency first aid and CPR. Contact your local Red Cross chapter for details.
Install smoke detectors on every level of your home. Test them monthly and change the batteries at least once a year.
Show each family member where the fire extinguisher is kept. Get training on how to use it.
Identify potential hazards in your home and take corrective action to help reduce the risk of injury. Secure large or heavy items that could fall and cause damage or injury.
Practice implementing your plan.

Assemble an emergency supply kit

The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the American Red Cross recommend families stock their homes with six basics: water, food, first aid supplies, clothing and bedding, tools and emergency supplies, and special items. Keep the items that you would most likely need during an evacuation in an easy-to carry container, such as a covered trash container, a camping backpack or a duffle bag.
Water
Store water in plastic containers such as soft drink bottles. Avoid using containers that will decompose or break, such as milk cartons or glass bottles. A normally active person needs to drink at least two quarts of water each day. Hot environments and intense physical activity can double that amount. Children, nursing mothers and ill people will need more.
Store one gallon of water per person per day.
Keep at least a three-day supply of water per person (two quarts for drinking, two quarts for each person in your household for food preparation/sanitation).
Food

Store at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food. Select foods that require no refrigeration, preparation or cooking, and little or no water. If you must heat food, pack a can of sterno. Select food items that are compact and lightweight. Your selections should include ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables; canned juices; staples (salt, sugar, pepper, spices, etc.); high energy foods and vitamins. Remember food for family members with special needs, such as infants or people with dietary restrictions.
First aid supplies

Assemble a first aid kit for your home and one for each car that includes:
20 adhesive bandages in various sizes
5" x 9" sterile dressing
Conforming roller gauze bandage
2 triangular bandages
Sterile gauze pads
Roll of 3" cohesive bandage
Germicidal hand wipes or waterless alcohol-based hand sanitizer
Antiseptic wipes
Large medical grade non-latex gloves
Adhesive tape, 2" width
Anti-bacterial ointment
Cold pack
Scissors (small, personal)
Tweezers
CPR breathing barrier, such as a face shield
Non-prescription drugs, such as aspirin or nonaspirin pain reliever, anti-diarrhea medication, antacid (for stomach upset), syrup of Ipecac (use to induce vomiting if advised by the Poison Control Center)
Clothing and bedding

Include at least one complete change of clothing and footwear per person. Consider including sturdy shoes or work boots, rain gear, blankets or sleeping bags, hat and gloves, thermal underwear and sunglasses.
Tools and supplies

Your emergency supplies should include a battery-operated radio and flashlight with extra batteries, matches in a waterproof container, a non-electric can opener, eating utensils, a fire extinguisher, plastic sheeting and tape. Also remember to have cash on hand because banks may not be open and ATMs may not be operating. Other items to consider include signal flares, sewing supplies, basic tools, maps, a whistle and sanitation supplies (such as toilet paper, a plastic bucket, disinfectant and soap).
Special Items

Remember family members with special requirements, such as infants, the elderly or people with disabilities. Make sure your supply kit includes diapers, formula, prescription medications, contact lens supplies, extra eyeglasses or other special items your family may need. Also include games and books for children.

Safeguard your neighborhood

Working with your neighbors when disaster strikes can save lives and property. Your Neighborhood Watch program, homeowners association or tenants group can include disaster preparedness among its activities. Discuss how the neighborhood could work together after a disaster until help arrives and develop an emergency preparedness plan for your community.

Your neighborhood plan should include a resources inventory that examines how your neighborhood can tap its resources during an emergency. Identify your neighbors' special skills, such as medical or technical skills, and look at what equipment and shelter would be needed.

Your community also should identify residents who may have special needs. The elderly and disabled may need special help during an emergency. Your community may need to develop plans for children in case neighborhood parents can't get home.

During an emergency:
Remain calm and patient. Put your plan into action.
Check for injuries. Give first aid and get help for seriously injured people.
Listen to your battery powered radio for news and instructions. Evacuate, if advised to do so.

Правда интересно? Почему у нас этим не занимаются? Взято с сайта Охраны родного края, штат Техас. Почитал, решил себе завести такой комплектик, как описан выше и обдумать свои действия в случае БП.  Интересно, сколько будет стоить всё это удовольствие?
