In today's world, many people might find it unimaginable to live without the amenities afforded to them by technology. However, there are times when you are forced to survive without these comforts such as during disasters and other emergencies.

Make sure that you're not caught unaware during disasters by keeping these following items in your home or your vehicle.

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter

One of the most difficult things to find in an emergency is potable water since clean water supplies tend to be the first to be contaminated during disasters such as floods or earthquakes.

LifeStraw's innovative water filter allows users to drink water from virtually any source without worrying about the threat of potential contaminants.

According to its maker, this device is capable of eliminating 99.9 percent of bacteria and other waterborne parasites without the use of chlorine, iodine or any other chemicals. It's lightweight and doesn't require any batteries, making it an ideal tool to bring along with you during camping trips or treks outdoors.

During emergencies, people can use the LifeStraw water filter to drink directly from streams or puddles or use it as a straw to drink from a wide-mouthed water bottle.

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter typically costs $25, but Amazon is offering a $19.93 deal for it.
