| You will need to have a non-alcohol based hand sanitizer in your gear. Wash your hands after you go to the bathroom, before your prepare food and again before you eat your food. You do not want to injest any of the bacteria that is floating around disaster sites. It is also a good idea to pack some painters mask to breath though. A clear spray bottle of water dampening the mask can help to keep out the smallest of particulates. Water purification is another aspect of survival that should not be taken lightly. A suggestion is to use the PUR water pump with a ceramic filter, get the best you can afford-your life and health can depend on it! If there is a high casuality rate in the area you will be visiting, you may want to pack some vicks vapo rub or similar item to help deaden the odors you will encounter. Some hospitals utilize a variety of "fruit scents" to serve the same purpose. Your medications! Make sure you have enough for the time you plan to spend, plus a week-just in case! |
