ANTES DE LA EVACUACION

Florida, Mayo, 1 2008 / MBMI / El agua es un recurso precioso no renovable, En los Estados Unidos estamos acostumbrados a pensar que hay una cantidad abundante de agua fresca y limpia – Expertos en el área están preocupados de que este no sea el caso. Hay un sin fin de preocupaciones sobre los ya obsoletos y deteriorados sistemas de distribución y almacenamiento de agua potable que resultan en amenazas para la salud de la entera población. El Desabastecimiento de Agua podría llegar a afectar a dos tercios de la población del mundo en el año 2025. Científicos han pronosticado que los efectos del calentamiento global producirán mas desastres naturales mundialmente.

Watersafe ha sido galardonado con premios como la solución mas cómoda y segura para almacenar cantidades significantes de agua. Su inventor, Michael Nevil desarrollo Watersafe, mientras contemplaba a sus vecinos de edad avanzada llevar tobos de agua desde la piscina al segundo piso de su vivienda sufriendo los efectos desgarradores de la escasez de agua. Este producto es la solución ideal para almacenar y proteger hasta 65 galones de agua potable en la comodidad de su bañera o lavamanos Su invento le conseguiría a Nevil el premio como la mejor invención del año 2007 en un prestigioso concurso de inventores en los Estados Unidos.

Expertos han pronosticado que el nivel de los océanos a nivel mundial va ha aumentar hasta 24 pulgadas para el año 2100, en parte como consecuencia de el calentamiento y descongelamiento de la capa glaciar. Sin embargo expertos coinciden en que el conjunto de cambios climáticos mundialmente va ha tener un impacto dramático en la población del mundo. Mientras la economía global crece también crece su sed de este indispensable y vital producto. Hoy por hoy, la mitad de las naciones en desarrollo sufren diariamente de los efectos en la salud pública de sus habitantes por que carecen de este vital recurso que nosotros aquí en los Estados Unidos desestimamos.

Una persona puede vivir sin comida por semanas pero solo días sin beber agua potable. 1.8 millones de niños mueren cada año en el mundo como consecuencia al consumo de agua contaminada. 4900 muertes diariamente por que carecen de agua limpia que necesitan para consumir. En niños menores de 5 años enfermedades relacionadas al consumo de agua contaminada es la causa número uno de muertes mundialmente.

Se recomienda almacenar todo los artículos necesarios para su familia durante emergencias como tornados, huracanes, inundaciones y apagones de energía eléctrica. Esto es aún mas critico en poblaciones rurales. Expertos recomiendan almacenar como mínimo un galón de agua potable por persona por 2 semanas. Una familia de cinco necesitará almacenar 70 galones de agua limpia como una preparación adecuada antes, durante y después de emergencias provocadas por desastres naturales. Comprar 70 galones se agua en el supermercado puede resultar muy incómodo y costoso. El Watersafe es mucho más económico y le provee tranquilidad, conveniencia, y la comodidad de ser compacto y facial de usar.

Este útil artículo indispensable en cualquier momento almacena y protege el agua que usted y su familia necesita antes, durante y después de cualquier eventualidad. El agua almacenada en el Watersafe es menos costosa, libre de contaminación, de virus y bacterias y queda sellada dentro de un envase seguro. El agua almacenada en el Watersafe puede ser almacenada por periodos de tiempo prolongados. El Watersafe esta hecho en los Estados Unidos usando materiales aprobados por el FDA. Ha sido diseñado usando una tecnología de punta en la creación de empaques. Cada Watersafe tiene tres capas transparentes y una laminación especial que le da mayor resistencia. Dice Kristen Nevils “ este novedoso invento y tecnología va a mejorar dramáticamente el almacenamiento de agua y la seguridad pública durante emergencias.

Contraptions for use in event of ‘The Big One’

Vendors storm hurricane conference

Solar-paneled generators resembling props from a Buck Rogers movie, perfect for powering your refrigerator after a hurricane. Bathtub water bladders. Peel-and-stick roofing tarps.

What amounted to the country's highest-profile storm-product bazaar continued Thursday at the National Hurricane Conference in Orlando, drawing hundreds of window-shopping public officials from across the Southeast.

Organizers say 225 companies staffed colorful exhibit booths in a spacious Rosen Centre Hotel ballroom, hoping to lure attention - and lucrative government contracts.

Vendors at this mini-carnival hawked hurricane shutters, mobile restroom trailers, packaged food, debris-hauling equipment, and a litany of other goods and services.

And they handed out freebies as well: black golf tees, white mouse pads, tiny bottles of Tabasco sauce, orange flashlights and trays of chocolate balls.

"Oh, my gosh, it started out extremely small," said Max Mayfield, the retired longtime National Hurricane Center director, who has attended and organized these conferences since the mid-1970s. "Now, they're coming to us. In the beginning, I'm sure they went out specifically seeking sponsors. Now, the exhibit hall is overflowing out into the hallways."

Some of these curious hurricane innovations fall on the exotic side of the spectrum.

Mayfield said he was fascinated by:

•Portable solar generators, capable of powering household appliances for families that lose electricity after a severe storm.

Solar Stik, the St. Augustine manufacturer, believes these contraptions - which resemble science-fiction weather vanes in photos - can replace gasoline-powered generators.

• 65-gallon plastic bladders, each designed to convert a bathtub into an emergency drinking-water supply container.

WaterSafe of Fort Lauderdale sells these contamination-fighting bags online for $29.99. Added bonus: siphon pump included.

•Adhesive roofing tarps, perfect for slapping atop areas of minor damage - no nails required.

These UV-treated sheets purportedly stick to shingles, tile, concrete, metal and rubber, claims a Miami Lakes company.

At the booth of West Melbourne-based Relm Wireless Corp., regional sales manager Brian Rodrigues showed off a handheld radio to Columbia County fire Chief Tres Atkinson, a potential customer.

Atkinson's department responded to the F2 tornado that tore across Lake City in early March, killing one, causing millions of dollars in damage and knocking radio transmitters offline.

"We had a communications problem. We're looking at different options for the future," Atkinson said.

Another Brevard County-based company with an exhibit at the National Hurricane Conference was Suntree-based Emtel Corp.

Emtel Chief Executive Mitch Auerbach spent Thursday demonstrating his company's emergency communication systems to conference attendees.

A bladder as big as a bathtub

Not only will you find a bathtub-sized bladder for emergency storage of fresh water, but there is an exhibit hall full of such equipment at the National Hurricane Conference in Orlando. Florida Today reporter Rick Neale is at the conference and walked through the exhibit hall. Here's what Rick had to report:

The country’s highest-profile storm-product flea market is under way at the National Hurricane Conference in Orlando, drawing hundreds of window-shopping public officials from across the Southeast.

Organizers say 225 companies are staffing colorful exhibit booths in a spacious hotel ballroom, hoping to lure attention -- and lucrative government contracts. Vendors at this mini-carnival are hawking hurricane shutters, handheld radios, packaged food, debris-hauling equipment and a litany of other goods and services.

Some curious innovations fall on the exotic side of the spectrum. Max Mayfield, the retired longtime director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, said he is personally fascinated by:

* Portable solar generators, capable of powering refrigerators and televisions for families that lose electricity after a severe storm.

Solar Stik, the St. Augustine, Fla., manufacturer, believes these contraptions -- which resemble science-fiction weathervanes in photos (www.solarstik.com) -- can replace gasoline-powered generators.

Hurricane Kit Checklist

BEFORE THE WATER ADVISORY

FLORIDA, May 1, 2008 / MBMI/ -- Water is precious, we have always believed we are blessed with a seemingly unlimited supply of fresh, clean water -- but experts are now warning that may no longer be the case. There are growing concerns over aging and failing drinking water in the U.S. resulting in threats to public health across the country. Water shortages could affect as much as two-thirds of the world population by 2025. Scientists have warned that global warming will produce more intense bursts of precipitation.

Award-Winning Watersafe is the easiest and safest way to store significant amounts of emergency water. Inventor, Michael Nevils developed the Watersafe, after witnessing his 90 year-old neighbors struggle upstairs with buckets full of pool water in the aftermath of a hurricane. The product is a solution for anyone to safely keep up to 65 gallons of water in the bathtub or sink, avoiding the pre-hurricane rush for bottled water. Nevils' invention was awarded the Grand Prize in the 2007 Inventor Search Contest.

World sea levels are projected to rise by between 7-24 inches by 2100, partly because of runoff from melting ice caps. No one weather event, however, can be attributed to larger changes in the climate. So when the climate changes. As the global economy grows, so will its thirst. Close to half of all the people in developing countries are suffering at any given time from a health problem caused by water and sanitation deficits because they lack a simple necessity that we take for granted.

A person can live weeks without food, but only days without safe drinking water. 1.8 million children die each year water contamination issues – 4.900 deaths each day needlessly because for a lack of clean water for drinking and hygiene. For children under 5, water-related diseases are the leading cause of death. Many people store water for emergencies like tornados, floods, hurricanes and power failures. This is especially true in rural areas. It is recommended that you store at least 1 gallon daily per person for up to 2 weeks. A five-member family would need 70 gallons of water to prepare properly for disasters. Purchasing bottled water can be costly. The WaterSafe a lot more affordable plus delivers convenience, peace of mind, quality and compact storage ability. This useful, new item on your emergency preparedness kit stores the water you need and protects it. This water is inexpensive, free of bacterial contamination and is sealed in a food-grade container. You can store this water for extended periods of time. The Watersafe is made in America with FDA approved, food grade materials. Engineered with superior liquid packaging technology, the film has a clear, three-layer, non-barrier lamination that is developed to provide strong seals, extraordinary bag toughness and superior flex crack resistance." Said Kisten Nevils this new innovative technology could dramatically improve water quality and public safety during emergencies.
