Letter Re Preparing for a Dam Breach
Howdy Mr. Rawles,
The article written by A.B.S. is very well written and gives one a lot to think
about. There is an item for one's Bug Out Bag (BOB) that I find useful in
flood prone scenarios, but is rarely mentioned: A Personal Flotation Device
(PFD).
A PFD or 'life jacket' for each member of your party with their BOB in flood
prone areas or situations is cheap insurance to keep you afloat. Granted, when
you are in the drink, things are already going wrong, but staying afloat would
be a key to staying alive!
Also do not forget to make sure that each PFD fits the intended wearer correctly.
For the children one of those PFDs that keep them face up should they find
themselves in the water will give the parents peace of mind. Love the blog
and the books! Wishing You 73s - ZA
