Sudden thunderstorms and road flooding. To protect your family, preparedness is necessary not just at home but also in your vehicle. Here are 4 recommended disaster preparedness goods that give you added peace of mind.

Thunder approach detection! A reliable alarm for outdoor use

When you are enjoying camping or fishing with your family, and suddenly the sky darkens and thunder starts to roar. It is essential to evacuate to a safe place early. In such situations, the "Portable Thunder Detection Alarm Thunder Alert" could be helpful. It detects lightning discharges up to about 40 km away and alerts you through light, sound, and vibration.

The danger level is displayed in three stages: "Caution, Alert, Danger." The main unit is lightweight at about 43g and also features IP54 dust and splash resistance. It is also characterized by the ability to switch between indoor and outdoor modes.

Water-activated inflatable sandbags

Every time it rains heavily, I worry about flooding in the entrance or garage. The "Water-absorbent Inflatable Sandbags - 10 pieces" is something every household should have on hand for such situations. They are normally flat sheets but swell into sandbags when they absorb water. There’s no need to prepare soil, and they are easy to store in limited spaces.

These can be used in areas where water may flow in, such as the entrance or garage door. However, they are single-use and specifically for freshwater, not suitable for seawater. Additionally, they cannot completely prevent flooding, so prioritizing safety in emergency situations is important.

Price: 4,200 yen
Contents: 10 pieces
Weight: Approximately 270g before absorption, about 18kg after absorption (per piece)

I want to prepare for car submersion! A push-button emergency escape tool

If you drive a car, it's wise to consider the situation where you might be unable to move on a flooded road. The "Emergency Escape Rescue" is a compact escape tool equipped with a glass-breaking function and a seatbelt cutter.

This type works by pressing the tip against the glass to activate it, and the main body weighs about 30g. It's compact, making it easy to keep in your car. During flooding, the pressure of the water can prevent the doors from opening. For emergencies, it's advisable to secure it within reach even while wearing a seatbelt.

An emergency escape hammer that breaks glass by striking <br>

Another vehicle item is the "Emergency Escape Hammer." This is a manual type where you hold the grip and strike the glass with a pointed tip. It also includes a seatbelt cutter and comes with a dedicated storage holder. It’s important to secure it within reach from the driver's seat for easy access in case of an emergency. Note that both escape tools are specifically for automotive tempered glass and cannot be used on windshields or laminated glass, so check the type of glass in your car beforehand.

Being prepared for disasters is best when you don't have to use it. However, when driving with your family, preparation for emergencies is essential. From flood prevention measures at home to escape items for your car, why not review your preparations to protect your family?
