SURVIVAL PART-2

                Nowadays internet access is present even at nooks and crannies of the world. Browse through the internet to gain more knowledge about survival techniques, in case of flood, cyclones, earth quakes, Tsunami waves and so on. Every person should gain proper knowledge about the geography of the place in which he is living. If the region is prone to natural disasters, often, then the person should try to move their habitat to somewhere else. I came across certain techniques in READER’s DIGEST magazine to which I show my gratitude for which I have obtained good knowledge of survival techniques. The experts advise to insure your properties because financial preparedness supports your mental stamina during times of crisis. They also exhort to identify the most vulnerable parts of the city in order to avoid staying at these spots for safety.

                Get in touch with the Government’s announcements then and there. Keep yourself updated with the Government’s policies and the knowledge about the shelters offered by the government during the times of disasters. Always construct your houses with multiple exits. I have seen certain house built in such a way that the entire ground floor is to be used as a parking lot. Then the inmates of these houses would live in the first floor. At times of flood this model of houses could be useful. A huge bag of rice is more than enough to counteract during these stranded times. Also remember to keep portable gas stoves. The food items should be kept somewhere higher in case if it is a ground floor or can even be kept at the first floor. Be generous enough to help others if you can. While constructing your house it is important to have a properly planned large drainage system.

                In case of being stranded alone, don’t panic. But if you have panic, take 10deep breathes. In case of a forest, immediately try to go to places where you can find food and water. Because protecting your health is the foremost step in survival. The experts say that fresh water fishes and most of the birds’ eggs are edible. Don’t eat anything that is unfamiliar and unknown to you, as it could be poisonous. Wild animals can be triggered if you run. So avoid running but stand still on your stand. Water is more important than food. Always keep handy sachets of oral rehydration powders and drink it often with proper dilution in water. Find animals, birds and insects to track spots of water. Have shiny objects to reflect sun rays to signal a rescuer. Most important of all, have a large converging lens with you in order to set fire using sun rays.

                To conclude, get yourself familiarized with TV shows portraying survival strategies. Note all the points in a handbook and learn it thoroughly. Through internet, gain knowledge of how to offer first-aid to a patient and also how to nurse a wound and broken bones and the like.
