Act ASAP

Word of the Week for December 20th, 2021, is Medical

The medical information provided in this training material is, at best, of a general nature and cannot substitute for the advice of a medical professional i.e. a qualified doctor/ physician, nurse, pharmacist/ chemist or such. Emergency Action Planning is not a doctor.

Please note I am not a doctor, I have not played a Doctor on a Movie or TV show, and I do not pretend to be a doctor even though I have taught First Aid and CPR for the American Red Cross. And have received Combat Life Saver Training while in the US Army.

Three basic skills are, Bleeding, Breathing, and Shock. Failure to address these issues and your patient can die.

Training:

Medical training and First Aid skill are perishable. They need to be evaluated, assessed, replaced and re-trained on a regular basis.

Get your basic First Aid and CPR training, and then you can upgrade your level of First Aid proficiency with the appropriate advanced training.

My favorite advanced first aid provider is Doom and Bloom. Operated by Dr, Joe and Nurse Amy Alton. They provide a wonderful selection of educational information, training and supplies.

First Aid Kits:

If you already have a basic first aid kit. Make sure it is up-to date, the ingredients are perishable and over time they will degrade.

Tell the band-aid story.

If you do not have a first aid kit, get one. They can be found at most Pharmacies and big-box stores.

Remember not to forget. There is no actual learning unless you do something.

Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent.

Remember the rule of threes? Three seconds of panic or indecision will kill you.

The techniques for practicing your plan of action fall into three categories.

Drills, rehearsals, and exercises.

Follow up with periodic practice exercises to ensure you remember the plan.  This will allow you to adjust your plan based on your family or environmental changes.

Stress and anxiety will disappear because you know what to do and when.

In our modern world, if you want to brush our teeth, it is simple. You go in the bathroom, turn the water on, grab the toothbrush and toothpaste and go at it. Everything is put into the sink and the running water will rinse it down the drain.

You need to go to the bathroom. It is no problem. You walk into the bathroom, shut the door, do what you need to do, and flush the toilet. It goes down the drain.

During a major disaster, we might not have these luxuries.

Additional information on disaster sanitation tactics can be found in the Family Urban Disaster Planning book.

Word of the Week for November 29th, 2021 is Food

Do you remember the rule of threes?

Three weeks without food can kill you.

Food is an absolute necessity.

And like water you will need to have ample amounts of food on hand because if you do not, over time your health and welfare will become at risk.

The bare bones minimum amount of food to have on hand is 72 hours, or three days’ worth. Regardless of your age or gender, go with 2000 calories per person a day, it will suffice. A recommended amount is 14 day or two weeks’ worth of food.

I recall after Hurricane Irma was over and my local grocery store reopened, the staff were restocking the shelves with grocery carts full of food returned by people who wanted their money back.

This brings to light a disturbing concept.

1.People seriously over purchased and spent money they could afford to spend because they had no plan and did not prepare well in advance.

This is your opportunity not to be one of those people.

A preplanned food store in your home will always insure you and your loved ones can eat.

Remember to communicate with your loved ones who will be involved with your plan. Ask for their input. Let them pick items for the emergency food store. Celebrate their involvement.

Sooner or later you will discover the ease with which you can communicate with your loved ones on the important topics.
