With the upcoming 2023 elections, it’s important to be prepared for any potential disruptions or emergencies that may arise during and after the election.
Here are seven must-have survival items to have ahead of the 2023 elections:
Non-perishable food: Stock up on non-perishable food items such as rice, spaghetti, beans, beverages, snacks, canned goods, dried fruits, nuts and other cooking ingredients.
These items have a long shelf life and can provide sustenance in case of an emergency.
First aid kit: Accidents and injuries can happen at any time, so it’s important to have a well-stocked first aid kit on hand. Include items such as bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and any necessary prescription medications.
Cooking gas: Whether or not the cooking gas is finished, you should still fill it up. If you don’t have a backup, cooking gas will always run out when you least expect it, leaving you stranded.
Petrol or diesel: You might want to make sure your car and generator, if you have one, have adequate fuel and/or diesel when the elections are just a few days away.
Power banks: In case of a power outage, a portable power bank can keep your gadgets charged, so you can stay connected with loved ones or emergency services and be abreast of happenings across the country.
Cash: In case ATMs and credit card systems are down, having cash on hand can be crucial. Keep a stash of small bills in a secure location.
Toiletries: Don’t forget about personal hygiene items such as soap, shampoo, mouthwash, toothpaste, pads, and toilet paper. These items can be hard to come by in emergency situations.
By having these essential items at hand, you can be better prepared for any unexpected situations that may arise during and after the 2023 elections.
