Emergency Kit: Stay Prepared, Not Panicked – What to Stock and What to Avoid in the Wake of War

As tensions between India and Pakistan rise, civil defense drills are being conducted across the nation to prepare citizens. In such uncertain times, it’s natural to wonder how to prepare your household to buy and stock essentials in the event of a complete blackout or even a war. Here’s a practical guide on how you can stock up on necessities:

How to Prepare an Emergency Kit?

Food and Water:

• Keep non-perishable foods such as canned goods, dried fruits, nuts, and other long-lasting edible items. Canning, drying, or pickling helps in storing food for longer periods.

• Store a sufficient supply of bottled water or consider using water purification tablets or a filter.

• Keep high-energy food products like gram flour, channa (gram), oats, that can be stored dry and do not need much cooking.

“In case of a blackout, we must all abide by the guidelines that the government has issued and avoid using mobile phones. But if a phone’s flashlight needs to be used in necessary situations, like going to the washroom, then a power bank can be helpful to keep the phones charged.” – Gian Chand, a senior design engineer with a security company.

First Aid/Medical Supplies:

• Include bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and other essential medications.

• Ensure you have enough of any necessary prescription medications.

• Consider a kit with items for treating minor injuries and illnesses.

Personal Hygiene:

• Items like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and other toiletries are essential for maintaining hygiene and must not be missed out while making the shopping list for the emergency kit.

For Additional Supplies, You Can Consider:

• Have sufficient flashlights and batteries to provide light in case of power outages.

• To stay informed about the situation, use a battery-powered radio.

• Consider keeping tools like a wrench, pliers, and a hammer handy for minor repairs.

• Cash can come in handy in case digital payments do not work. Also, one must keep important documents together.

“One must keep handy basic surgical tools to treat any injuries in case one doesn’t have access to a medical practitioner in situations of an emergency. Also, one must have dressing equipment available, such as band-aids to treat minor cuts.” – Major Pawan Kumar, Shaurya Chakra (Retd).

By preparing in advance, you can ensure that your household is ready to face any emergency that might arise during these uncertain times.
