In emergency cases, it is essential to know what to do regarding our diet.
In cases of emergency, it is essential to know what to do regarding our diet. That’s why we want to share tips on what to do about it in difficult situations.
The first and most essential thing will be water:
– The minimum amount of water to drink is 4 liters per person daily. ** – Store 3 to 5 days worth of water in plastic bottles with tight-fitting lids. Juice and milk containers are not recommended because they easily leak or crack. -Do not store water containers in a place where the Sun will hit them. -Try not to place the water near pesticides, gasoline or any other similar substance. drinking water at home: -Ice melt** -Toilet tank (NOT the bowl)** -Canned foods mainly fruit and vegetables NOT drinking water at home: -Radiators** -Water beds** -Water heating systems It is also very important that you pay attention, if possible, to the transmissions from your local health department, because there they can give instructions on how to treat the water to make it drinkable. Wash the water containers before using them more than once.
Regarding Food.
-Seek to have NON-perishable food -Also that they do not need to be cooked, require water or refrigeration. -Look for foods NOT very salty or spicy so as not to increase the need for water -Have available food for babies or people with special needs -Canned foods are a great option (they can last for years) -To store them, we recommend dry places, where the sun does not shine and where it is cool. Heat can deteriorate them. -Like water, keep them away from other products such as gasoline, paints, etc. -With adhesive tape and a marker, mark the date of the food. -Eat first whatever is in your fridge. -Throw away cooked food that has remained UNrefrigerated more than 2 hours. -Throws inflated or leaking cans.** We hope that with these tips you are a little more prepared for an emergency, but even more so, we hope that you never have to use them 🙂
