CMC Government Services Featuring Hurricane Preparedness Kits And Supplies

May 31, 2011 - PRLog -- Hurricane season runs from June to November.  On average, six hurricanes form in the Atlantic Ocean of which two become major.  Atlantic and Gulf Coast states must be prepared. Taking time to get prepared now can save lives later.

In order to be prepared, the United States Government recommends having disaster supply kits. This includes a three-day supply of food water, as well as, first aid kits, medical supplies, flashlights, batteries, sanitary products, and required prescription and over-the-counter medications.  

CMC Government Services has taken the time to make sure they have everything in stock that a business, department or individual may need in order to prepared for any type of community disaster including hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, and more.

In the event of an emergency or evacuation, it is recommended to unplug all appliances and shut off the electricity, gas and the main water valve.  The 4 in 1 Emergency Tool can shut off gas and water, pry open doors and dig through debris. This useful tool needs to be in every household regardless of location.

Complete first aid kits are also a necessity.  CMC carries ready made kits by SAS Safety.  These kits meet ANSI Z308.1 Standards for use in the home and work place.  They contain an assortment of practical, single-use disposable items to treat injuries in a sanitary and simple way. Included in the assortment are bandages, gauze rolls and pads, tape, cleansing pads, burn cream, antiseptic towelettes, gloves, and more.  Another option is to assemble your own medical supplies and pack them into your own emergency backpack or kit.  CMC has a wide variety of supplies and CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) backpacks to meet your needs.  

When power is knocked out due to hurricanes and other emergencies, it is important to be able to provide light and have dependable flashlights for your family and workers. CMC offers Ray 0 Vac Lights and Batteries. Ray O Vac Flashlights have 3 LEDs that provide a smooth, bright light and never need to be replaced. They also are virtually unbreakable and run for up to 150 hours on Ray O Vac alkaline batteries.

If located in a remote area where access to food and supplies are an added consideration, HeaterMeals are a good item to have available in the event of an emergency.  HeaterMeals are self-heating meals which require no refrigeration.

“Though zero weather related disasters and emergencies would be preferable, it is also our desire that you be prepared.  Rather than shop all over, shop online and get everything you need for your hurricane preparedness kit.  Be ready and be safe,” stated David Goldstein, President of CMC Government Services.
