Sheltering Supplies and Systems

Putting together a Disaster shelter in a community is outside most people's field of experience. Isn't it done by experts? Shelters have to be set up quickly and require certain core components to function adequately with the hope that they will not be needed for more than a few days.  The major problem is that most communities do not have the disaster supplies pre-stocked and ready for use when needed. Most expert disaster relief agencies don't stock the shelter supplies, emergency cots, blankets, nursing supplies etc. necessary for even a small disaster shelter in a community - much less completely set up 5-10 shelters in a single county. Typically a shelter holds about 500 people)

The disaster relief agencies too often rely upon trucking in relief supplies (sometimes several states away) which take days. Many times the cots and other emergency items show up after the emergency is over or are mis-directed and never get used.

At AllThingsFirstAid.com we feel that towns, communities, schools, churches and other local relief agencies need to purchase and maintain complete disaster shelter systems that can be easily set up by community volunteers. Pre-positioned disaster shelter supplies can be used within just hours of an emergency beginning  not days.    Let us show you how to set up a complete emergency shelter(s) for your community.
