Emergency Supplies Every Home Should Have Readily Available

At ServiceMaster by Diamond Quality Services, we specialize in disaster restoration. We are equipped to deal with anything from a house fire, leaky/busted pipes, storms or vandalism. As a result, we are familiar with how important it is to prepare for a flood, fire, storm, or other type emergencies. Whatever the case, it is critical to be prepared for the worse – whether you end up dealing with a tornado, house fire or a busted water pipe.

Don’t let the unexpected take you and your family by surprise. Be prepared for an emergency by keeping essential supplies on site.

Unsure of what to have in your emergency kit? Here’s a quick list of some must-have items:

  • Bandages/band-aids
  • Antiseptic wipes
  • Basic tools (tweezers, scissors, screwdrivers, hammers)
  • Over-the-counter medicines (like acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen)
  • Prescription medication (if necessary)
  • Non-latex gloves
  • Flashlight with batteries

These are just a few essentials you should stock in your emergency kit. Don’t hesitate to add any other items as you see fit.

In the fall you might think of planning an emergency kit geared more towards wintery days of snow or ice that would result in loss of electricity. So many times we have lost electricity for days at a time, so maybe have a generator if possible as well as water, blankets, canned foods, a propane burner and of course some board games or cards for entertainment to pass the time.

If you have experienced any type of fire, smoke, water, or bio damages, then give our team a call and let us help walk you through the steps to restoring your home or business!
