IMPORTANT SAFETY ALERT
Survival Tips in Case of a Terror Attack
 With the
increasing threat of terror attacks occurring both abroad and in the
United States, and in light of the recent attack in Brussels, we felt it
was important to send these survival tips to learn from and share with
friends and loved ones in case we’re in the midst of an attack. ISIS has
pledged attacks here in the U.S. Our airports, subways, and major cities
are under the highest alert levels.
ACT for America,
the nation’s largest national security grassroots organization, has been
sending out specific helpful tips and reminders on what to look for
regarding radicalization and staying alert through our #OpenEyesSaveLives campaign.
Below are some very important terrorist attack survival tips. As a
survivor of a terrorist attack, I understand what it’s like to experience
the chaotic struggles of a deadly attack and would like to share this
knowledge with each of you. These helpful tips could be the difference
between living and dying.
Important
Survival Tips:
Carry a wet wash
cloth in a zip lock bag in your purse/briefcase/handbag:
Some people die from smoke inhalation if they do not succumb from
shrapnel or pressure of the explosion. If you’re caught in a subway
attack or a building and survive, you can use the wash cloth on your nose
and mouth to block the smoke and buy some time until rescue arrives.
Keep a backpack
full of survival essentials in the trunk of your vehicle:
If an attack occurs and you are inside or near your vehicle, grab your
bag after making sure the car is safe. Inside the bag should be food,
water, flashlights, batteries, chargers, wet naps, a knife, waterproof
lighters, extra medication, and other essentials.
Carry a few energy
bars:
Sometimes it takes over 24 or 48 hours for rescuers to get to you. Make
sure you have something to eat that will give you energy to stay awake
and strong to either make your way out or remove things that may be
blocking your exit.
Carry a small
flash light:
The first thing to go in a bombing is electricity. You may need some
light to find your way out and to find other survivors. The light can
also signal your location to rescuers looking for survivors in case you
are unable to move and unable to communicate.
Carry a whistle:
If you are trapped deep within the rubble and your flash light battery
runs out, use a whistle to alert rescuers of your position as they look
for survivors. A whistle sound carries long distance and is unique.
Carry a head band
or a strip of cloth:
In case you are wounded, you need to use it as a tourniquet to control
the bleeding until help arrives. Any piece of cloth will work. Make sure
you are prepared. Some victims die from massive loss of blood. (This procedure was used on me
by my parents when I was wounded and a significant artery was cut. It
bought me 11 hours before I was taken to a hospital. I barely made it
because of the massive loss of blood, but it saved my life)
Carry an extra
bottle of water:
You don't need to drink the whole bottle, but you need to sip on water in
case you are not rescued for a few days. Ration your water. No more than
a sip when you get thirsty.
Carry Aleve 12
Hours pain killer (or any other non-aspirin pain killer)
If you are injured and suffering severe pain, you may not be rescued for
hours or days. You will not feel the pain in the first few hours as your
body goes through shock, (believe me I know) but later the pain will
become severe as the time goes on. Pain could be extremely distracting.
You need pain killer to manage your pain so you can stay alert as much as
you can until help arrives. This is also why it is so important to have
food bars and water. The three go together.
Carry a cell phone
battery charger:
Make sure your phone is always charged, especially in the morning when
you leave to work. Most terrorist attacks occur in the morning. Make sure
you always have a fully charged phone and a portable cell phone charger.
It could be your life saver a few days after the attack when cell phone
lines are restored for you to notify someone of your location and let
them know you are alive. It could also double as back up to your flash
light as you can use your phone's light.
We hope and pray that nobody reading this list or any other innocent
person has to ever use these tips above. Unfortunately though, we live in
a world right now where evil people are constantly trying to destroy us.
