Hard to miss the new ICE Banner - even
in dreary late fall weather in CNY!
This 3 x 3' version ( we have a variety of sizes up to 16 ft long!) looks
sharp on this park building and can look even better at your fire station, school, ambulance station or workplace.
Best part is that it can be customized to reflect the name of the organization that is sponsoring it and helping promote
preparedness. We lent this one out to the paramedic in NJ to help him with his wellness fair ICE Project......
More pictures to come.....we just keep making it easier!
November 19 was a pretty important day in the lives
of Dunellen High School students, teachers and
an Alumni who introduced the students to the concept of ICE. Students were provided with a host of information about a variety
of Health and Wellness Topics for almost 4 hours at the DHS Wellness Fair.
Alex Zaleski, a full time Paramedic Student, Air Force Reserve Medic and
Alumni of Dunellen High worked diligently to provide students participating in the
event with an informative and engaging demonstration about the many uses of ICE.
Slide show to follow...the pictures will
speak for themselves....you can read more about the fair and see Alex in action at the link below.
Now
for some of those agencies (and schools too!) out there looking for a project to do for the community .....here you go. This
one fellow put together brochures, posters and used PowerPoint from the website
to instruct and engage his audience. He also created a training report for you to follow.
No, it is not a toy, but yet another niche product that might prove effective in a shelter in place incident
that has some duration. This device is made of plastic and molds to the contours of most common tubs found in homes or apartments
to contain an instant supply of water. It won't replace water containers used when you evacuate - but it will secure a considerable
amount of water in short order.
WaterBob claims to this device
being rated to hold 100 gallons of water obtained from your tub faucet and can be filled in roughly 20 minutes. It comes with
a simple pump device to extract the water as needed.
While it is claimed that the water could prove
potable for up to 4-5 days this can be extended of course by using water treatment
chemicals or devices to filter water as it is removed from the bladder.
You could store this on site
and use this at the first indication of a shelter in place scenario or impending storm - or take it with you to you planned
back up retreat if it is another home or apartment and used there. While filling it up you can attend to other tasks at hand
like boarding up windows or securing items for an evacuation if need be.
Of course when full you would
not be able to take it with you but considering the amount of water secured "inside" the bladder and not laying
out exposed in a bathroom environment this can make a hopeless situation livable for a while.
CampingSuvival.Com
carries them for about the price of a 5 gallon military water container which we have discussed in earlier blogs. If you have
two tubs - great for you! If not, consider how you will be attending to a modified routine of personal hygiene.
This is one more good reason to keep your bathroom clean. Also don't forget that your toilet tank holds a reserve
of water as well - not much, but it is there....and treatable.
Nothing is absolute in this preparedness
effort as circumstances change and needs arise that may be totally out of your control but having redundant measures in place
considerably increases the odds of your overcoming the odds against you in an emergency. This would be a good adjunct to your
emergency water preservation efforts.
