10 Things That Should Be in Your Emergency Kit

Disasters can happen anytime, so it's important to be prepared. Having a ready "go bag" to quickly grab before evacuating instead of taking time to assemble the essentials can make all the difference in emergency situations. But what are the items that you should definitely have in your "go bag" emergency kit? Watch this video or read on to find out. Survival kits should have supplies and tools to provide basic protection against the elements, meet health and first aid needs, and signal to rescuers.

1. First aid kit

First up, it's important to have a first aid kit that can allow you to treat possible injuries and prevent infections even without immediate access to a clinic or hospital. This should contain band-aids for small wounds, gauze and medical tape for larger cuts, tweezers to remove glass shards or foreign particles from wounds, small scissors, alcohol wipes to sanitize, and an instant ice pack. If you have any prescription medicines, pack about three days' worth of these in your emergency kit as well.

2. Toiletries

An emergency kit should also contain a supply of basic toiletries such as toothbrushes, personal hygiene products, toothpaste, soap and shampoo.

3. Water container

The rule of thumb when it comes to emergency water supply is to have at least one gallon of water (3.875L) of water per person per day for at least three days. Having a portable water container is also very useful when the supply of water is limited and only rationed out in an evacuation.

4. Flashlight

It's not unusual to have no electricity during emergency situations, so a flashlight is definitely handy in enabling you to find your way during a blackout or under debris. While your phone typically comes with a flashlight option, it's better to have either a battery-powered one with a stronger beam or a rechargeable one.

5. Swiss Army knife

The importance of a portable multi-tool in emergency kit cannot be overestimated. Its components be used for eating, opening canned goods, cutting through clothing, etc.

6. Whistle

Getting trapped under debris is a very real possibility during fires or earthquakes, so having a whistle to call rescuers' attention to your location can make the difference between life and death.

7. Blanket

A lightweight portable blanket is useful in both hot and wet conditions. This can be used as protection during a typhoon, fire, flood, etc.

8. Waterproof case

This case can protect your phone and cash in case you need to wade through floods or be exposed to rain. Even better, you can use a waterproof bag for your entire emergency kit to ensure that the contents stay dry.

9. Radio

Cell sites can be down during disasters, so it helps to have a radio that can keep you updated on relief and rescue efforts.

10. Rope

There are several practical uses for rope during emergency situations, including a lifeline, rapelling from high places, building a shelter, securing items, and so much more. Don't wait for disaster to strike before you start preparing. Start shopping some of these items at The Good Store.

Which animal has teeth in its stomach?

Lobsters Lobsters and crabs have teeth— in their stomachs. These are used to crush its food, but they also have a strange secondary function in ghost crabs: making a noise that wards off predators.

mcgill.ca - Crustaceans have teeth in their stomach - McGill University

Believe it or not, lobsters, as well as other crustaceans such as crabs and crayfish, have teeth in their stomach! The teeth are part of a system called the “gastric mill.” Through rhythmic movements of these large teeth, of which there are three, their stomachs can actually crush food as a prelude to further digestion. Ghost crabs use their “stomach teeth” in a secondary fashion as well. It sounds strange, but these crabs actually use the gastric mill to generate noises that ward off predators. Essentially, by grinding the teeth in their stomach, much like they would do to break up food, the ghost crabs can produce sounds resembling that made by rubbing the ridges on their claws together. This noise is often made by the crabs when they feel threatened and is thought to act as a warning sign to scare predators away for fear of being clawed. The sound may also be used to communicate information about a crab’s size, aggression, and intent. Ghost crabs’ ability to produce this sound with both their claws and their stomach, gives them a “double-edged sword” when it comes to engaging in battle. Even with their claws engaged in fighting, they can still grind out warning signals with their “stomach teeth.” Caitlin Bard is completing her Bachelor of Science with a major in neuroscience at McGill University.
