Have you ever wondered the steps to take in making an emergency survival kit? Hi, I'm Captain Joe Bruni, and what we're going to talk about is first making an emergency survival list that will be predicated upon what type of emergency situation or emergency kit that the user may need. Now there's all types of emergencies out there. There's emergencies that may take place because of a hurricane occurring, as well as someone being trapped in their automobile in a snow bank in the northern part of the United States, or even in Canada. So the first step would be to identify your needs, and where your kit is going to be placed. Is this an emergency kit for the home? For the vehicle? Or for the place of business or work? As you determine what your priorities are, keep in mind when making the list, a few things will be needed. You will need breathable air, you will need food and water, and you will need warmth and other types of supplies to survive an emergency. This type of true emergency situation will be dictated in your list. Try and identify on your basic needs through the steps I've just mentioned, or your priorities of food, water, warmth, clothing and other things that may be needed, depending on where you are caught or where you are situated in the true emergency. Also, keep in mind your medical needs as far as first aid supplies and prescription items, and things along those lines that you will need to survive for several days. I'm Captain Joe Bruni. Stay safe, and we'll see you next time.
