China has frequently carried out military exercises recently. Besides watching the news to grasp the latest information, what else can people do to prepare? In addition to spending time expressing our opinions on the community, we should remain alert, not panic, and know the fact that threats exist. We can take this opportunity to understand how to respond if a disaster occurs. For example, know what air raid shelters are nearby and what supplies should be prepared.

What air raid shelters are there near your current location? Government and private air defense evacuation and evacuation maps lazy bag

Since a few days ago, China has frequently conducted military exercises in the sea and airspace around Taiwan, and organized live-fire shootings. Instead of watching the news but not knowing what to do, what ordinary people can do now is to know which air-raid shelters are near where they live, and read disaster prevention manuals and other emergency response methods in detail. Although we hope that these disaster prevention resources will never be used one day, it is better than not knowing what to do when we need them.

Organizing basic supplies for disaster prevention

1. Food

• Since cooking may be impossible due to lack of electricity and fuel, ready-to-eat foods that can be stored for a long time and do not require cooking are better.
• The staple food is preferably food containing vitamins and minerals. You can store dried meat and canned meat, and you can eat canned fruit for fruits.
• Protein powder, high-calorie snacks, and vitamins can also be good sources of nutrition, especially when you are on the move.
• If you have a hiking cassette or spider stove, you can also prepare some fuel.
• If you are lighting your own fire, be aware of safety and indoor CO2 ventilation issues.

2. Drinking water

• Store drinking water in a bathtub or plastic container away from the water source, and disinfect it through disinfectant tablets, water filters, or sedimentation. It is good to be able to boil it, but it does not necessarily have fuel.
• If there is no reliable water source near you, and supermarkets and public facilities are empty, then you can only move to the river or look for a water tower in an empty building. You should be able to receive a lot of rainwater depending on the season, but you must filter it before drinking.

3. Clothing

Clothing

• Clothes should be easy to move around and easy to clean and air-dry. Given the weather in Taiwan, quick-drying sweat-wicking sportswear is a better choice, paired with a windproof and breathable jacket.
• Wear waterproof boots as you may need to walk long distances and avoid injuring your feet.
• Please mainly wear dark colors to avoid being too conspicuous. Unless you are a combatant, do not wear camouflage uniforms casually. Civilians in the city may encounter more risks if they are thought to be soldiers.

Raincoat or waterproof jacket

• Sometimes you have to escape from your place of residence. A raincoat can protect you from rain, wind and cold in strong winds. It can also be used as a floor mat or insulating packaging material.
• The light raincoat itself is easy to carry, but if you usually have a waterproof jacket for hiking, it is also a good choice and can be reused.
• The raincoat can also protect various items in the pockets from getting wet.
• Many electronic devices cannot be exposed to rain, such as radios, mobile phones, walkie-talkies, and LED flashlights. There is no place to repair them in an emergency.

4. Medical materials and sanitary products

Internal use:
*Tips: Please consult your doctor first and be aware of drug allergies.

• Painkillers, antibiotics
• antiviral drugs
• Antihistamine and allergy medications, steroids
• sleeping pills, anxiolytics

• Bandaging equipment: iodine/gauze/cotton swab/tape triangle bandage, elastic bandage, etc.
• small pliers
• Disinfectant, alcohol, salt
• Electrolyte powder (something like Pocari powder)

Hygiene products:

• Soap

In an emergency, good hygiene may not be possible, but soap can clean the whole body and clothes, and a toothbrush can also maintain basic oral hygiene.

5. Documents

• Important documents and information (passport, ID card, household register, etc.) should be carried with you.
• To prevent it from getting wet on the road, you can put it in a plastic bag or use a sealable product such as a zipper bag.
• It is best to carry a paper address book and a paper map. There may be no power or Internet on the road. You must learn to identify directions and let others contact you.

6. Flashlight

• In order to be able to use it in the rain or avoid being damaged when it comes into contact with water, the main outdoor strong light flashlight must be waterproof.
• You should have several small ordinary flashlights at home with enough batteries.
• During wartime, you will encounter power outages and light restrictions. When there is no electricity at home and no lights outside, it will be difficult for you to walk at night without a flashlight.

7. Toolbox

• You have to DIY many things by yourself and prepare enough tools.
• It is recommended to prepare a hand saw or a sturdy hammer that can cut through objects. When there is a lack of fuel, you may need to use everything around you to get materials locally, or you may encounter situations where obstacles need to be removed.

8. Candles and lighters

• Candles not only provide lighting, but also add warmth to rooms and tents.
• Remember to choose thick and short candles that are durable and difficult to tip over.
• You can keep a box of the cheapest disposable lighters from supermarkets or stores, which will be very convenient in your life.

9. Communication equipment

• You can consider purchasing radios, satellite phones, and walkie-talkies.
• If the network goes down, these are your tools for getting news and communication.
• A whistle, highlighter, and bright flashlight can be used as tools to keep in touch while walking at night.
• Telescopes are a necessity in war, not only needed by soldiers, but also by civilians to judge distant dangers.
• Telescopes are also a tool for obtaining intelligence from distant places. You can gesture and even communicate with people through the telescope.

10. Escape backpack

• You may need to leave the danger zone and escape to safety at any time. Everyone should have their own escape backpack, pack it up and just grab it and go.
• You should choose an escape backpack based on the weight you can carry.
• Many existing mountaineering bags have functions such as load-bearing, waterproofing, and storage. You can choose the most practical one that can be used both daily and in emergencies.

11. Sufficient cash, U.S. dollars, and gold

• When there is no electricity or Internet, cash may still be of some use, and the U.S. dollar may be more valuable.
• Although gold is valuable, it is heavy, so please carry it with caution.

12. Enough toilet paper, garbage bags, and tape

• People’s necessities such as toilet paper will become increasingly scarce and even become luxuries.
• In the absence of toilet paper, reusable cloths can be used to clean with water (if there is a water source).
• Both garbage bags and tape have many uses. Plastic bags can preserve food, prevent items from getting wet, separate dirty clothes, waterproof and keep warm, etc. They are cheap and multi-functional.
