Evacuation supplies & car top
carriers.
Disaster can strike quickly and without
warning. It can force your to evacuate your neighborhood. What would you do if basic services, water, gas, electricity or
telephones were cut off? Local officials and relief workers will be on the
scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. Unfortunately we live in times of uncertainty.
Nature's forces can be severe.
There isn't anything more we can say that you haven't already heard or read
about in the news. The best defense is to be prepared. Both the Red
Cross and FEMA recommend that every household have evacuation supplies.
They should be packed safely in a car top carrier and ready to put on your
vehicle in a moments notice.
LakelandGear.com meets the needs of families planning for
evacuation. A customer living in a costal town told us that his kids were
extremely concerned of the impending arrival of a hurricane. He told us,
"We know the hurricane is coming our direction. I guess at the last
minute we'd race for the door, grab a few possessions and drive inland.
The kids didn't know what to take or leave behind. Space in the car was
limited. Cloths or photographs? This was no way to handle the
situation. I found your web site and decided to get one carrier for each
car. Now our family can plan what to take and have it ready.
Hopefully the hurricane will change course. If not, at lease we have peace
of mind knowing what we're taking and we can get out in a hurry."
Coastal towns, Midwest, California, any major metropolitan area,
be prepared for these emergencies: Fire, Hurricanes,
Tornados, Nuclear Accidents, Terrorism, Storms, Electrical Blackouts,
Earthquakes, Highway or Ship Toxic Spills. The addition of a car top carrier to your
disaster plan/gear has the following advantages:
1. Added vehicle capacity allows you to
take valuable belongings or survival gear that you would have left behind.
2. Prepacked gear allows for faster
evacuation.
3. A quality car top carrier makes a good
device to store evacuation supplies. You've made preparations, pulled your
gear together and now you are ready. Peace of mind.
4. Our carriers with the special liner have
been tested in rainstorms on top of cars traveling 70 mph for hours & miles
on end. Your gear will be protected.
5. When not in use, a soft sided car top
carrier can be folded down small. They take minimal storage space.
Keep one in your trunk for any cargo carrying needs.
