Things in case of evacuation is better to collect in advance. Be sure to put documents in the “alarm suitcase” (internal passport, “foreign”, military ID, driving license, documents for a car and housing, marriage and birth certificates for children, a medical card, diplomas of graduation from educational institutions, a work book, copies of listed documents). By the way, warm and cold clothes, comfortable shoes, personal hygiene products, duplicate keys to the house and car, medicines will come in handy. If you need a constant intake of medicines, it is desirable to form their emergency supply for at least a few days. If the day “begins” suddenly comes, you need to take care of cash.

"Alarming suitcase" and evacuation are topics for a separate detailed conversation. Let's say you and your family managed to get to a safer place. For a comfortable life away from home, you will need to get at least basic things.

Cloth

It is advisable to take things with you that take up a minimum of space. Put a few pairs of socks and underwear, spare pants, a sweater, a couple of T-shirts, a hat, a raincoat, comfortable shoes in a backpack or bag. The rest can be obtained upon arrival at the destination. Volunteers actively help with clothing for adults and children. Also, no one canceled trips to shops and markets - in relatively safe regions, clothing outlets continue to work (albeit not all). With a sufficient financial cushion, there should be no problems finding a suitable wardrobe even in small towns. The exception to the rule is completely non-standard clothing sizes.

Personal care products

Maintaining personal hygiene is essential anytime, anywhere. You will have to acquire basic means for caring for the oral cavity, body, facial hair and hair.

So, IDPs will need:

Toothbrush and paste are essential hygiene products for regular oral care.

In the same list, you can write down some electrical appliances in the manner of a hair dryer, electric razor, electric toothbrush, etc.

Electric Toothbrushes

Health

At hand, it is always highly desirable to have a first aid kit with broad-spectrum drugs: antipyretic, analgesic, antihistamine, poisoning agent, activated charcoal, bottles of peroxide and medical alcohol. In addition, the first-aid kit is usually understaffed with first aid supplies (plaster, bandage, cotton wool, iodine, dressings and a hemostatic tourniquet).

Calculate the stock of regularly taken pills based on considerations at least a week in advance - some positions in pharmacies are in short supply and you will have a margin of time to search for or deliver prescribed drugs.

For hypertensive patients , an automatic tonometer or a semiautomatic device will serve as an important medical device. Depending on the specific model, devices of this order measure blood pressure, record the pulse rate, calculate the average pressure over a certain period, and detect heart rhythm disturbances.

You can easily measure your blood pressure with an automatic sphygmomanometer that inflates the cuff on its own.

Patients with diabetes will not do without a portable glucometer - a device that measures the concentration of sugar in the blood. In addition to the device, you will have to find suitable test strips.

When collecting a home first aid kit in a forced place of residence, do not forget about thermometer, be it a classic mercury thermometer or more practical non-contact type models.

Goods for children

Children are deeply dependent on adults, so they need to be taken care of separately. So, little kids get tired quickly. For walks in the fresh air and moving on business with your child, a folding stroller cane is useful.

Cane stroller

"Canes" are designed for children from the age of about 6 months. In strollers of this type, the child can be transported sitting and lying down. Their competitive advantage over their peers is their compact size when folded and their low weight.

For comfortable walks in the fresh air with small children, compact and lightweight strollers will come in handy.

A stroller is not a cheap pleasure. However, both local residents and volunteers willingly share transport for kids with internally displaced persons at the request of those in need.

Diapers

As long as the child is not potty trained, parents cannot do without diapers. The high demand for them and interruptions in the usual supplies are causing the shortage of "diapers". Fortunately, diapers are included in humanitarian aid packages from volunteer organizations and Western European countries. The only "but" - you have to choose from what is. It’s not always possible to get the usual brands of diapers and you will have to rebuild on the “new rails”.

Baby food

Breastfeeding mothers may lose milk due to stress and other factors. Infant formula for feeding is also often a priority item in the "humanitarian". Related products for kids in this category are pacifiers and pacifiers, bottles and drinkers, sterilizers and warmers.

Crockery and basic household appliances

Basic utensils are needed for cooking and eating. Try to get some plates, cutlery, a frying pan and at least a couple of pots of different sizes. Also, do not forget about cups and mugs.

A kettle and a microwave oven can replace a whole arsenal of kitchen appliances for the first time.

For a completely empty kitchen, you will need to buy a kettle and a microwave. You can do without the rest for the first time. In the low-cost segment of these categories of household appliances, there are quite a few quite adequate offers, so there are plenty to choose from. A set of an electric kettle and a microwave oven will easily fit into the “plug” at a price of up to $100.

Charging gadgets

Morning exercise is the path to health and well-being. Electronic gadgets also need regular charging. The best option for "refueling" them in the field is a power bank with a capacity of 10,000 mAh or more. “Everything you wanted to know about power banks” is told within the material of the same name. All articles from the category of external portable batteries are collected at the following link.

From a power bank with multiple output ports, you can easily power your mobile electronics guard.

In situations where there are not enough free sockets for everyone, a block with support for fast charging helps a lot. Of course, the corresponding function must be supported on board the smartphone. It significantly reduces the duration of the charging process of a mobile device. Some of the fast chargers are also suitable for powering laptops(via a USB C connector).

Charging in the cigarette lighter and splitters with a through charging connector are useful in the car, where you can connect other electrical consumers. Give preference to models with multiple USB ports.

Bed dress

The organization of a bed is an important moment in the arrangement of life. The quality of sleep directly affects how the body will function during the day. Get bedding, and in the absence of all beds, the way out of the current situation will be karemats or an air mattress. Sleeping on them is not as comfortable as on a full bed, but still better than on a bare floor.

Sleeping on an air mattress is just a joy for children.
