How not to survive 2012
Part of the motivation behind Survive 2012 is to promote serious, heavy survivalism, not keeping a few spare cans of spaghetti on hand...
The City of Sydney government takes the more simplistic viewpoint, but even so has been criticised for scaremongering.
Where should you head if there are building fires, hazardous materials incidents, power or water failures, rail disruptions, serious road problems or a terrorist incident..... a big park
What emergency supplies should you have ready? A "Go Bag" containing:
* Key personal information for your family members or partner, including identification such as passports or a driver’s licence.
* A bottle of water for each family or household member.
* Torch with spare batteries.
* Battery-operated, portable AM/FM radio and extra batteries (check shelf life).
* Appropriate clothing. In winter, you might need jumpers; in summer, hats and sunscreen. Comfortable walking shoes are also important.
* Roll of toilet paper, personal hygiene supplies.
* Pen and notepad.
* Phone card/telecard/mobile (remember that your mobile may not work during a large-scale emergency).
* First aid items such as bandages, bandaids, eye wash, antiseptic solution, scissors, disposable gloves, safety pins, paracetamol, adhesive tape and personal medications.
* An extra set of car and house keys.
* Credit and ATM cards and a small amount of cash.
* Map of your local area and the CBD Safety Sites
* Your personal Contact List
[that's right, no food!]
