emergency preparedness supplies for schools, government, business and personal use. first aid kits and disaster supplies from Life Kit supplying emergency and disaster first aid supplies and kits.
When a disaster occurs your emergency preparedness will affect how you survive the first few hours. You must be prepared to support yourself and family until help arrives. Public support systems will be unable to help immediately when an emergency occurs. They will be overloaded.
We recommend basic emergency/disaster supplies such as food, water, light, first aid, communications, and warmth. Kits for these needs or specific supplies are available. Life Kit has the emergency /disaster supplies that you will need to survive. We also supply more advanced supplies such as trauma kits, triage kits, large first aid kits, search and rescue kits, and kits for auto, schools and commercial businesses. Our mission is to supply individuals, schools, government agencies, and businesses, basic and advanced emergency/disaster supplies. Over 17 years of experience have allowed us to perfect our products. This distinguishes us from our competitors.
Life Kit has the ability to produce custom products to meet the specific needs of all of our clients.

    Planning for a natural disaster will help to prevent injury and devastation. Practicing what you will do if an earthquake happens is a vital part of that planning. While California has been the state most prone to serious earthquakes in recent years, there are many other fault zones in other areas of the United States. For example, geologists and seismologists have predicted a 97 percent chance of a major earthquake in the New Madrid seismic zone of the central United States (including Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky) between now and the year 2035. While earthquakes with the power of the one that hit the greater Los Angeles area in January 1994 are fairly rare, less severe earthquakes can interrupt your normal living patterns and cause substantial injury.

    169. Earthquake Furniture Restraints Are For Earthquake Preparedness, Earthquake Cabl
    Offers cables specifically designed to secure tall, heavy, and glass fronted furniture to the wall to prevent damage and injury during earthquakes.
    http://macawinc.com
    EARTHQUAKE FURNITURE CABLE RESTRAINTS Earthquake cables flex so they don't break and because they are made of steel aircraft cable with over 1000 pounds break strength they are the strongest method on the market to secure your furniture. Earthquake furniture restraints are use for earthquake preparedness. They hold tall, heavy, and glass fronted furniture to the wall to prevent falling furniture from causing injury, breaking glass, and blocking escape routes. The brackets are made of heat treated carbon steel and the cable ends are pressed on with 20 ton presses. You can not rely on straps or velcro to do the job! They are made in the USA. Earthquake Cables are easy to install and disconnect. Earthquake cables come in four lengths are used to secure China Cabinets, Armoires, Book Cases, Grandfather Clocks, Wall Units, etc. They are sold in over 300 California hardware stores but if you haven't been able to find them you can purchase them through this web site. We are the factory and manufacturer. Earthquake cables are used to Child Proof Furniture where small children can climb, pull, or play on furniture. They have been used by professional Child Proofers all over the USA. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If you are not completely satisfied for any reason you may return the cables for a complete refund. Fastening tall heavy furniture to the wall is recommended by the

    The Four BASIC Types Of Faults
    (This does not include growth faults)
    The Normal Fault The normal fault is not necessarily normal in the sense that it is common....because.... it is not the most common of faults. However what is normal about them is that their movement tends to follow the gravitational pull on the fault blocks involved. The fault plane on the normal fault is generally very steep. In a normal fault the two involved blocks are (by gravity) pulling away from one another causing one of the fault blocks to slip upward and the other downward with respect to the fault plane (it is hard to determine whether both or just one block has moved.). The exposed upward block forms a cliff-like feature known as a fault scarp. A scarp may range from a few to hundreds of meters in height and their length may continue for 300 or more kilometers (around 200 miles).
    The Reverse Fault
    The reverse fault is a normal fault except the general movement of the fault blocks is toward
    each other, not away from each other as in the normal fault. This forms a thrust fault type expression on the surface with material overlaying other material.

    How can geology be used to minimize risk?
    Geology and earthquake impact
    The damage resulting from an earthquake is influenced by three important geologic processes: Amplification: The type and depth of soil at a site affects the severity of ground shaking. In most cases, shaking on soil is greater than shaking on rock. In some situations a resonance can occur in deep soil layers, markedly amplifying the shaking at certain frequencies. If the frequencies are potentially damaging to a structure, the results can be disastrous. Liquefaction: Shaking caused by an earthquake can cause the transformation of some loosely packed, water-saturated sediments, such as sand and mud, into a fluid mass. The sediments thus lose their strength and can no longer support buildings which may then sink or lean. Soils which are most likely to liquefy are recently deposited sediments that can be found in certain parts of deltas, river channels and uncompacted landfills. Landslides: These are one of the major causes of damage resulting from an earthquake, and occur most often in areas of unstable loose sediments, such as steep mountainous slopes.

    What is a bruise?
    You fall off your bike, bang your shin on the coffee table (that you swore you would move months ago) or run into a wall and wake up with a wallop of a bruise. What is a bruise and what can you do about it? A bruise, or contusion, is caused when blood vessels are damaged or broken as the result of a blow to the skin (be it bumping against something or hitting yourself with a hammer). The raised area of a bump or bruise results from blood leaking from these injured blood vessels into the tissues as well as from the body's response to the injury. A purplish, flat bruise that occurs when blood leaks out into the top layers of skin is referred to as an ecchymosis. Why do bruises occur more frequently in some people than in others? The injury required to produce a bruise varies with age. While it may take quite a bit of force to cause a bruise in a young child, even minor bumps and scrapes may cause extensive bruising or ecchymosis in an elderly person. Blood vessels become more fragile as we age and bruising may even occur without prior injury in the elderly. What does a bruise look like and why does it change color?
