[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] 20 Emergency Kit Essentials

[n4asx at cox.net]

All,
	I looked at the list and there are some redundancies
	1 - First Aid Kit,  YES!  This should be regardless of the crisis.
If you're an ARES volunteer you should have one 
	2 - Water -  Cheapest way to have spare water is to order 5 gallon
bottles from those who rent/sell water coolers.  They are sealed.  You don't
need a water cooler, there are pumps that run on batteries like we use at
Field Day.  
	3 - Medical Records,  One to two months of Rx meds and the usual
non-prescription meds 
	4 - Face Masks / Gloves - Not sure how effective those on the open
market are, but if  YOU get infected you can help others avoid catching it.
	5 - Meds - See 3
	6 - Bleach 
	7 - Non-mercury thermometer - should be part of you med / first aid
kit
	8 - FOOD,  Canned,  non-perishable, One to two months.  This would
be worst case, but a few weeks' worth is a good idea.
	9 - Disinfectant 
	10 - Snacks 
	11 - Hand Sanitizer - Soap and washing works better, but if your not
in a position to wash with soap, then...
	12 - Tissues 
	13 - Soap
	14 - Meds - See 5
	15 - Detergent.
	16 - Pet Food 
	17 - Baby care items
	18 - Toiletries 
	19 - Feminine hygiene
	20 - Books, Games, Puzzles (Amateur Radio Station?)

	I would recommend you keep some emergency cash on hand.
	Some of the above is situational, no pet no pet food needed.

	For ARES
	Go Kit ready.  I doubt that we will be called out for this
emergency, but "Be Prepared".
	Social Distancing
