What is a “blow-out kit”?

Dr. Orient is also the Director for Doctors for Disaster Preparedness.  What is this group?

Title: Tips For Dealing With Your Insurance Company In The Wake Of A Natural Disaster!
Topic: Disaster Preparedness
Discussed by Alex Winslow
with Texas Watch (www.TexasWatch.org)

Part 1 of 2

Texas watch is a non-partisan citizen advocacy organization dedicated to ensuring that corporations and insurance companies are accountable to their customers. What advice would you give to people on the East Coast as they assess the damage from Hurricane Sandy?

Signing too quickly is one of the biggest mistakes that homeowners make after a natural disaster such as a flood, fire, hurricane, or tornado. Insurance agents will tell the homeowner "you only have so many days to take this offer then it goes down" or they will use "tricky" language that is confusing. How can people, specifically our listeners in Pennsylvania and other cities on the East Coast, avoid being taken advantage of?

Many times an insurance agent will try and tell a homeowner that the damage isn't covered under their policy. Should homeowners make the insurance prove that the damage isn't covered? Also, is water damage during a hurricane considered "flood damage" or "hurricane damage"?

During the summer months, there are many older teenage siblings watching younger brothers and sisters or even babysitting for their neighbors. Would they be prepared to become a temporary care-giver in case of a disaster? Having a disaster plan is a must for every household, whether you have children or not. Make sure your children have been informed of the possible scenarios and the plan of action should something arise.

Don’t forget your pets! If you have pets, make sure you have enough food and water for them for up to 7 days, just as you would for everyone else in your family.

If you live near a senior citizen, talk to them about a plan of action in case of a disaster. Many seniors are on a fixed income and cannot afford to have extra food, water, and supplies stockpiled in case of a disaster. Contact their relatives to see if someone lives nearby or even offer to let them stay with your family.

If a disaster, natural or man-made, prohibited you from returning to your home, where would you meet-up with family members? Do you have a plan in the event of a flood, tornado or other disaster?

Major Heuszel discusses action items that you need to take today. These include having food, water and other supplies for up to seven days. Review your plans with your family, especially your children. We live in an area ripe for hurricanes and other natural disasters.

What is meant by “Shelter-in-Place”? Can you be forced to stay put? Major Heuszel discusses the “Shelter-in-Place” order. It is for the protection of the citizens within a confined area.

Major Heuszel further explains that if someone wants to leave the area, an officer cannot make someone stay indoors. Likewise, if an evacuation order is given, an officer cannot force someone to leave.

Do you have an emergency plan? Are you prepared for a disaster? For our listeners in Houston, a good website is www.HoustonOEM.net..

What might happen if a terrorist detonates a low-yield nuclear bomb in your downtown area? Major Heuszel discusses planning sessions he has attended where that question has been discussed.

In the case of a biological or nuclear attack by a terrorist, cars and individuals could be contaminated. Would you want them driving down your street contaminating you and your family? If a perimeter is established around a contaminated zone, can a “shoot-to-kill” order be given to keep individuals from leaving the zone?

Who gives the “shoot-to-kill” order?

The government says that families should have non-perishable food and water for each family member for 3 days in case of a disaster. Is this enough? Remember Ike? Many communities were without electricity and water services for weeks.

Does your family have money saved in case you do need to evacuate? It may be early in the Hurricane Season, but you never know when disaster is going to strike.
