While people may be more tempted to panic in a crisis, the most important attitude to practice is to be calm and proactive instead.
Stocking up on necessary items can be very helpful during unfavorable situations.
Here are some of the things you shouldn’t miss on your list:
Prescriptions and OTC Medications
To be ill is uncalled for. Tight times, especially under the Enhanced Community Quarantine program, prohibits people from going out except for those who have to buy food and groceries. So while you’re at it, remember to be proactive and counterfeit symptoms by stocking up some meds.
Keep a month’s worth of over-the-counter medicines for headache, flu, colds, and cough. It’s also best if antibiotic creams and bandages are on stock. Keep them in a tightly closed container away from children. First-aid kit is also a must.
Toiletries and Personal Hygiene Products
We’re not sure how long this situation is going to last so we must be prepared. Stock up on soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, and the rest of the products that you use daily. A two-week pile is ideal but of course, it depends on the number of family members.
Going out to buy family staples can be arduous these days. Hence, it’s best to plan and identify all the important and commonly used items like toiletries and hygiene products.
Non-perishable Food Items and Consumable Goods
While it’s ideal to buy canned goods which have a longer shelf life, you can also buy some fresh vegetables and frozen goods which you can preserve in your refrigerator. This can help you minimize the consumption of preserved products and somehow keep track of a healthy diet every once in a while.
Some local distributors offer freshly-picked fruits and vegetables at an affordable price. You can also find them online at muranggulay.com or search for some available options on the internet.
But most importantly, your household should not run out of ready-to-cook meals and frozen goods which can be stored and easily be consumed.
Emergency Directory
Keep a list of all the emergency contacts in a notepad or on your phone. Always update it by frequently searching on the key hotlines used in your city.
You can also check out the following hotlines in case the need arise:
Ample Amount of Cash
You really can’t say how long your stocked goods can last so you have to be prepared and save up the next time you’ll go out to buy your groceries. Money can also come in handy in unforeseen circumstances or emergencies. It’s better to be prepared.
Currently, banks are still open for certain transactions. Make sure to make the most out of the time when you go out. Withdraw as much money that you’ll need for groceries, and other important stuff.
Some errands like bills payments can be done thru online banking so there’s no need to worry about those. Also, some companies offer extended payment periods due to the situation we are in today.
As much as possible, avoid going out of the house unless it’s something important like buying your household essentials such as food and groceries.
Stay home, stay safe.
