well the war in iran seems inevitable and trump will probably strike after the markets close on friday. so what can i do to best prepare me and family for this? i already have around two weeks of canned food stocked up but besides that i have no other emergency supplies. if there are any protocols or useful handbooks i would appreciate it if you shared them. if you have experience in this type of situation i would be glad to hear from you as well.
that’s it i suppose. wish you all the very best.
EDIT: removed the terrible joke because it’s sort of a serious post. also thanks for all the answers in advance sorry if i can’t reply to all of them
Yes, important documents ready to go. Food. Water. First aid kit, and if possible not just laceration supplies, but a burn kit. Sewing kit, lighters, a good knife (you never know when you need to cut something in an emergency, like if someone is tangled in something). Rubbing alcohol and disinfectant. Flashlight. Batteries. A backup battery for a phone could be very helpful. You can get hand-crank radios (and hand-crank flashlights) in case of power failure.
Don’t underestimate the importance of keeping floss, toothbrush, and toothpaste in an emergency. Same with certain tablets (vitamin C and D) if you are not able to get outside much or get fresh food. You don’t want infections at a time of high stress. Honey and salt can be helpful as antibacterials in a pinch.
Also a notebook and a pen, there’s things you won’t be able to remember.
