Legacy Launches Hurricane, Tornado Emergency Evacuation Kits

SALT LAKE CITY, April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Legacy Food Storage, a

manufacturer of good tasting, high-quality gourmet meals for food

storage and emergency use, today launched emergency kits specific to

the needs of individuals and families in both hurricane- and

tornado-prone regions. The hurricane and tornado "bug out" bags

provide essentials that are easy to carry and use in a discreet

backpack for those forced to evacuate their homes. These include

shelter options such as blankets and tents, water storage and

purification tablets, meal-replacement shakes for sustained

nourishment, and many others.

Earthquake, flood and cold weather kits - as well as "bug-in" kits for

those required to shelter in place for an extended period of time -

will be available within the next few weeks.

"While much of what a family would need when evacuating would be the

same no matter what kind of severe weather, there are certain items

beneficial for tornados that you likely wouldn't need during a

hurricane - and vice versa," said Phil Cox, CEO, Legacy Food Storage.

"For example, those 'bugging out' during a hurricane would benefit

from a vinyl poncho and possibly an advanced water filter in case

water lines became contaminated and closed off for an undetermined

length of time, while those in a tornado might need a NOAA weather

radio to keep track of tornados in their area at all times."

Legacy's essential 2-person hurricane and tornado "bug out" bags both

include:

-- a discreet heavy-duty backpack in muted colors, which doesn't look

like an emergency kit so the unprepared do not attempt to steal it

-- 1 L Tristan BPA free bottle

-- 15 large servings of the chocolate MegaOne Meal replacement shake

-- 2 emergency reflective Blankets

-- 2 adult emergency ponchos

-- 2-man tube tent

-- Rubberized flashlight w/2 D batteries

-- AM/FM radio with AAA batteries folding

-- 1 L water container water purification tablet w/instructions

-- Deluxe hygiene kit

-- 53 pc. First Aid Kit

-- Emergency Prep Guide in Waterproof Zip1 Bag with pencil

The tornado kit adds a NOAA Weather radio, 15-inch pry bar and a

14-in-1 emergency tool, while the hurricane kit includes the pry bar,

a vinyl poncho and a Seychelle flip top bottle with advanced water

filter. Deluxe kits and premium kits (for four people) add items such

as water bags, hand warmers, sleeping bags, waterproof match sets,

utility gloves and 50 ft. of survival rope.
