Do you have an Emergency Kit Ready?

7/21/2020 (Permalink)

Most of us here at SERVPRO of West Evansville do have an emergency kit..but we were surprised to find out that most people don't!

Did you know that 51.5% of US homes have the recommended emergency kit in their home or car. Even less have food stored up for an emergency. 

The American Red Cross encourages that each household and car have a preparedness kit. It is always better to be more prepared than less prepared. Many people from our team learned this during the break out of COVID-19.

The top items in an emergency kit should be:  

1. water
2. canned food
3. can opener
4. flashlights
5. batteries
6. enough food and water for each person in your household for 5 days.

Be on the look out for our preparedness tips and tricks coming this September, and as always, if you have damage after a storm, give SERVPRO of West Evansville a call. We are here to help with roof tarps, new roofs, and new siding!
