What does sex have to do with Survival kits.(7)
It is important to accept the fact that sex has a lot to do during disasters and emergencies. While the world is in shock and mou
s for the victims of an earthquake, Tsunami, wild fire and other disasters. People in general are genuinely interested helping the survivors. In most cases, money is sent, sometimes non perishable food is a second choice. Often pregnant women, baby girls, teenage girls are ignored, not deliberately, but ignored just the same.
Now we turn to the needy locally, the victims of disasters in our own community. The people we often know, neighbours, friends and family, who are stuck somewhere while on a vacation. Suddenly they have become victims themselves. Unless they have prepared sufficiently to survive the accident, storm, wild fire etc., the results could be disastrous.
Remember that sex has an important role when planning a survival kit or first aid kit. It so happens that the suffering for males and females are the same, however, the needs are quite different, especially from an hygienic point of view. Specialists in our industry recognize that female needs are quite different from male needs. Thus special attention has to be made to be able to address these specific needs and it takes some discussions prior to vacationing, in order to establish how you will cover the needs of the women, girls, female babies in your party.
A pregnant young woman cannot be without certain medical products, special clothing, a blanket and other important items you may have discussed with the family doctor. Young girls and elderly women, they too often depend on items the males in the party seldom think of.
So beware friends. Sex has an important role in the preparation of assembling the necessary goods, products, food and hygienic necessities which have to be part of your survival and first aid kits.
Tragic consequences can be avoided, as long as you are aware that the women in your group or family deserve special attention in order to survive during a disaster. Emotionally, females often need special attention especially if they are a burn or flood victim. This issue is such a delicate one, that we, through research with professionals, decided to bring this issue to people’s attention.
May you all be prepared and accept the responsibility to pay special attention to the females in your travelling group or family.
You are to be counted on while you prepare your family’s emergency survival and first aid kits. The females in your party will love you forever.
