(name at least 5) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Answer 1

Water:- The basic measures to save water during a disaster management required single gallon of water per person. This for 5 days a person would need at least 5 gallons of water. Along with 5 relatives, James shoud save at least 30 gallons of water to last 5 days cuase he need 5 gallons per head.

Food:- During hurricanes affected areas the power supply is affected thus the chance of spoiling of food is very high. Thus if you are unaware of how long this may last you should be prepared before hand. Usually foods that spoil at a low rate and don't need much refrigeration are proved better food stockpiles. Canned meat and vegetables, Nutbars, Cereals, Fruits, Peanut butter, Oats are type of food that require zero preparation time and easy to store and consume. Thus they must be for sure added to hurricane stockpile list.
