No matter how much you prepare and how many precautions we take, some disasters can’t be avoided. Especially for us in the Philippines, where we experience disastrous calamities from tropical storms so often, averaging 20 tropical storms a year.
In line with this, when these natural disasters visit your area, it is expected that there will be damage. It just depends on how bad or minimal the damage will be. We have become so used to this, it’s almost a way of life here in the country. We are so resilient that we can just bounce back after the storm stops.
Next to the health and safety of our families, our immediate concern will be is to fix the most pressing problems quickly, such as the damages to our homes. Whether it’s roof problems or dealing with water damage after a flash flood, we will always get to it and make our homes inhabitable again.
Owning basic household tools is important. You can’t do the necessary work with your bare hands or trying to hammer a nail into a wall with the sole of a shoe or even a rock. When disasters of any kind strike, you will need proper tools and materials to cover holes, fix broken windows, and close off any sort of leaks. These basic repair measures can at least make your home liveable again until the professionals can come in for the bigger and proper renovations.
It is imperative that all homeowners should have a set of basic household tools at their disposal. It’s fairly easy to round up and store a small set of tools in your garage, shed, or even under your kitchen sink. You never know when you will need it, so you have to act fast and keep these tools on hand. You might be surprised at how many household repairs you can complete on your own when it calls for it.
Here’s a list of essential tools that should be in your home tool kit that no homeowner should be without:
To provide an instant fix to the damages caused by natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, earthquakes, or other calamities, you will need the following basic materials in your arsenal:
These are the basic things you need for making emergency repairs at home. Take a minute to gather them together and keep them in a safe place. You never know when disaster may strike. If you do experience an emergency, call disaster clean-up specialists to restore your home to its original condition as soon as it is okay to do so.
With that list of materials, you should be able to take care of emergency repairs for just about anything that nature can throw at you; as long as your home is still standing. Remember, we’re not talking about “pretty” here, or even meeting the requirements of the building code, we’re talking temporary repairs to keep you going.
Of course, having all those materials isn’t going to do you much good if you don’t have tools to work with. A good set of tools can be worth its weight in gold at such a time. Don’t count on power tools, though, as you may not have electrical power. If you already have power tools, that’s great, but don’t run out and buy a bunch for your emergency repair kit. Rather, spend your money on hand tools. They might not be as easy to use, but as long as you are moving, you can get the job done.
The more tools you have, the more you can do. But at the same time, there’s no reason to have tools and materials that you don’t know how to use. So, be sure to limit yourself to things that you can really use. Don’t let some salesman talk you into buying things just to make his commission.
Storage of your materials is important, as well. You don’t want any wood to get wet, as it will begin to decay. Fortunately, these materials aren’t adversely affected by heat, so you can store them in the garage, a shed, or the attic without any problem. While they may not be convenient to get to in these locations, they won’t be in your way, either.
