Since we have added items the past few days which you probably had to go purchase we are going to go free today.
1. Add 1-Pair of Long Pants: Long pants should always be included even in hot weather
areas as they will better protect you from injury as you clean up after a disaster.
Although they may be hot to wear they will also protect you from insects, rodents,
snakes and sunburn. Choose pants that are practical, loose fitting, and sturdy
enough for working.
2. Next, 3-5 Pairs of Socks: Wet socks should be changed as soon as possible. Socks
can also be layered for sleeping and to keep warm in cold weather. A disposable body
warmer can be inserted between two pair of sock to prevent frostbite. Body warmers
should never be place directly against the skin. Socks can also be worn on hands for
warmth.
3. And 2-T-Shirts: T-shirts are great because they take up little room in a pack and can
be layered for additional warmth. Nothing feels better when cleaning up after a disaster
than clean clothes.
4. Almost done. 1-Long Sleeve shirt: A long sleeve shirt will protect you not only from
debris during clean up but also from insects and sunburn. In cold weather areas a flannel
shirt is recommended as it will also provide added warmth.
5. Finally 5-Changes of Underwear: You may be able to wear shirts for more than
a day without you feeling disgusting but going without clean underwear is the equivalent
of torture. Need we say more…. For children who are just potty trained add extra
undies as children often revert to younger behaviors when they are stressed.
