Some tips for preppers from Tonga eruption

It has been nearly a month since the volcanic eruption in Tonga on January 14. At the time of the disaster, the destructive power of the volcano and tsunami caused the interruption of national communications in Tonga. Until today, public communications have not been fully restored. So what warnings does Tonga's experience bring to our preppers?

From Jack - a veteran prepper, we got his insights.

First of all, you must have the awareness of dealing with natural disasters in your daily life. It is necessary to prepare a certain amount of food and fresh water.

Secondly, a walkie-talkie with strong battery life is a must, because with a walkie-talkie, you can keep in touch with the outside world when public communication is paralyzed, whether it is to save people or ask for help, The walkie-talkie always brings us surprises at the most critical moment. Just like the disaster in Tonga, those who need help can use the walkie-talkie to ask for help, or they can use the walkie-talkie to help others. After a natural disaster occurs, the government first co-ordinates the radio rescue system. They can best play a temporary and emergency communication role in the first time. Public communication systems often take a long time to restore.

Finally, personal hygiene and safety. In an emergency, personal hygiene is more important than in everyday life. In our society, we have many conveniences at our disposal. However, when these conveniences are no longer available, many are unaware of the challenges. Personal hygiene is actually keeping clean and avoiding unsanitary conditions that can lead to disease.
