You've put a good deal of time and effort into planning your emergency supplies, tools, evacuation and disaster relief plans. All of that planning will do you no good if you are not organized. If your house's heating system goes out on the coldest night of the year and you can't find your solar blankets and sleeping bags, then all that pre-planning is wasted. It is absolutely imperative that you mark all of your emergency supplies and make sure they are portable and ready to go for anyone in your household who needs to use them.
One of the best tips for gathering all the items needed is to have good trauma and first aid kits that come in waterproof containers filled with antibiotic creams, astringents, bandages of all sizes and other necessary needs. If the items you store are all bought separately, make a list to be sure you have everything together, in a good easily accessible location.
Plastic supply cases and backpacks are also used to hold first aid items. The products should always be labeled so that there is little confusion as to what is in the bag. If you are planning a long trip or perhaps a long camping vacation, you should consider using a large plastic tote that has wheels for easy traveling. Inside the tote, separate smaller bags and containers with labels can be used to make sure you have everything and anything you might need. Duffel bags and plastic bags can be used to keep everything separate.
Items that protect from harsh weather conditions or dangerous elements should not be forgotten. These would include heat generating equipment, sleeping bags and tarps for shelters and lean-tos. Water and food should always be remembered, as fresh water can sometimes save a life and food rations will stave off starvation. All of these items should be stored in the same place, preferably in some kind of tote or tub that has a lid that can be lifted easily. You should be able to just reach in and find what you want. When the necessary item is not there or not labeled, it can be frustrating.
Now let's drop an emergency like a natural disaster on you and you're hunting for flashlights in the dark. This is not an ideal scenario, especially when you've spent so much time and effort planning out your emergency supplies. Take a little bit more time for planning your emergency supplies storage ideas and when it comes time to use those supplies, they'll be easy to find, readily available and you will breathe a huge sigh of relief. Being prepared, and ready for all types of emergencies, is always the best situation.
