It is disputed as to exactly what will happen on December 21st, 2012. Some say the world will end, while others clam this information to be pure Mayan nonsense. Regardless, it is always a good idea to be prepared for any catastrophe. This article will outline what every household should have in terms of a disaster readiness kit. If there is anything that will help you to survive 2012 - whatever may happen - this will be it.
The first set of items that should be included in a natural disaster kit are items that will help get a person out of immediate danger. These items include things like flashlights, whistles, and a basic first aid kit, and a small battery-operated radio. These items will allow rescuers to find potential victims of disasters much more easily and can save lives.
The second set of items allows for short-term existence in a disaster zone. The first necessity for human longevity is clean water. This can be obtained a variety of ways. The easiest method is to simply have one gallon of water per person per day for ten days stored somewhere safe. Alternatively, methods of water purification can be kept on hand such as handheld water purification pumps, iodine tablets, or a pot to boil water in.
Also included in the second set of essentials should be enough food for all people who will be relying on the kit for ten days. Choose things like canned and dried food to make sure it will not spoil when refrigeration is no longer available. More complete medical kits should also be included to treat broken bones and other ailments in the event that hospitalization has ceased to be a reliable service.
The third and final kit is the most complete and is geared toward the return of humanity should everything but your group get wiped off the face of the planet. This kit should contain a variety of hand tools with which to make shelters and repair machines with. It should include seeds of beneficial plants to grow for food as well as books about how to live off the land. This part of the kit will allow humankind to remain alive even after the most intense disaster.
In all, whatever happens on that fateful day, be prepared. If you are properly prepared, you will have no problem knowing how to survive 2012.
