MEDIA AVAILABLE: Web-site-shop's Primal-Scream Shop Offers A Planning Document That Provides Instructions To Assist People With Assembling An Individualized Personal Emergency Readiness Kit (PERK)

Most Americans Are Not Prepared For A Serious Emergency Despite The Natural Disasters Or Terror Attacks That May Strike At Any Time

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (EWORLDWIRE) Sep 27, 2005

Individuals must become self-reliant and provide for their own well being by preparing for serious emergencies. PERK.doc is a unique eleven page Microsoft WordTM 2000 planning document that contains a thorough list of essential and supplementary supply items that an individual would need in order to subsist once an emergency situation occurs. Information is presented as checklists and dynamic worksheets organized for those lacking time to generate a list of necessities or who need help planning.

Typical supplies lists from Homeland Security, the Red Cross or other agencies are often vague and do not account for apartment-dwellers in large cities and those who do not drive. These lists also fail to specify lightweight foods and supplies for situations requiring portability.

The primary consideration when devising the PERK bag was to make it reasonably lightweight, as forced evacuations by foot are possible if public transportation is disrupted by the emergency. The cost of stocking a PERK bag can be kept low, therefore most people can afford to make a bag with as many of the supply items they choose.

Those who drive may be unable to reach a safe destination if driving becomes hampered by traffic congestion or vehicle breakdowns which could block peoples' escape routes and halt their exodus. Public shelters and medical facilities may not be in place or may already be filled to capacity; drivers may have to carry the PERK bag from their workplace/car to safety.

PERK.doc contains interactive worksheets with linked images and hyperlinks directly to Internet resources that provide convenient selection and purchase of supply items like foods, Meals Ready to Eat and other crucial supplies that may not be otherwise obtainable in some areas. Convenient access from the document reduces the time spent searching for items and facilitates preparing a PERK bag, which could essentially save lives.

PERK.doc has items that are seldom listed in other kits, such as portable toilets, cooking devices, phone lists, important documents to keep in the PERK bag and medical emergency cards that would aid Emergency Medical Services workers in the event an individual sustained injury.
