Living in the path of Hurricane Sandy (and last year, Irene), has been a serious wake-up call. While the main foci of my blog is cross training and fitness, this recent natural disaster has given me quite a few relative talking points.Rely on Your Own Power
Strengthen Your Immune System
Be Prepared: Food, Water & Warm Clothing
You don't need to purchase bottled water. You can fill any bottle with filtered water and it will keep for several weeks. Another option is to invest in a water BOB for your bathtub. You can fill it up and dispense as needed. Just make sure to have 2 gallons per person per day for drinking and washing needs. If you are not sure about your water supply's safety, consider boiling your water for 5 minutes or invest in a PurifiCup Portable Water Filtration System.If you have to relocate to a shelter or a holding center, you can bring your Purificup with you. Having safe, pure water to drink during an emergency is a very important step towards staying healthy. Likewise hypothermia is more apt to be a problem if you are dehydrated.
Warm Clothing
Right now I'm keeping an eye on the next storm. When the barometer starts falling, that's when you know trouble is brewing in the atmosphere. My prayers and heart go out to all of my NY/NJ neighbors who are still struggling with power outages, fallen debris and all manner of deprivation. Some have lost their homes, over 100 people have lost their lives due to this storm. Be safe all and God bless.
