Emergency Preparedness Practiced by Mayer Flaks



It seems as though natural disasters have only intensified in recent years. While some say global warming is the cause, Mayer Flaks just knows it is up to him to take the first measure to prepare and protect himself. No matter where in the country you live, FEMA encourages everyone to have a first aid and disaster preparedness kit.
The kit suggested by the national government includes many of the things you'd find in a standard first aid kit. But for emergencies, it goes a step further to suggest other products like: duct tape, water, and food that can be prepared or eaten without needing to be cooked. These suggestions are designed to help in large disasters where first responders may take days or longer to reach people in distress.
Mayer Flaks, living in a region prone to earthquakes, understands how serious a disaster can be. While many of the buildings are designed to withstand earthquakes, there is always a chance that an earthquake may occur and topple the infrastructure. Thankfully, Mayer Flaks has heeded the warning and advice and prepared himself in case of an emergency.
Mayer Flaks has prepared all the government has suggested be kept in case of an emergency but with the added crank radio. Should his cell phone stop working in an emergency, Mayer Flaks knows he can still receive information and updates through his crank radio. Instead of buying his kit, Mayer Flaks decided to build his own including the medical equipment suggested like a needle, knife, and scissors.
Living in an area prone to severe storms off the ocean and earthquakes from underground, Mayer Flaks encourages everyone living along the coast to be prepared for an emergency. Thanks to Super Storm Sandy, Mayer Flaks  
will always heed the warnings of a coastal storm even if others around him take their safety for granted.
