With the recent events in Japan and the evacuation of the Oregon coast; I thought that we would take a moment and list a few of the items we carry that may be a good addition to your emergency preparedness kits.
Beaverton Motorcycles recommends that all families have an plan of action and a kit of food and supplies to help in case the worst happens. For more information about emergency preparedness check out http://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/epc.pdf
*A GENERATOR- a generator is perfect for power on the go or in case the power goes down. We offer a variety of sizes to fit whatever your needs are. They start small and can power a whole house.
*TITLE SERVICES- Beaverton Motorcycles strongly recommends that you title everything you ride (your boat, your bike, your atv, your side by side, your dirt bike, your scooter). Even if you don't need it. Your insurance will usually need a title if you claim damage. This is true of emergency preparedness and theft preparedness. Its easier to track, sell and replace if you have the proper paperwork.
*COLD WEATHER GEAR- We offer everything from hoodies and tear proof jeans to battery heated jackets. Its always smart to prepare for an emergency in any weather condition.
*BLUE TOOTH & HELMET TO HELMET COMMUNICATORS- Communication is important in any situation. Our bluetooth communicators offer easy ways to talk on the road or at home. They have a great distance band for talking to the rider next to you or even 10 miles away.
*LOCKS- We offer locks big and small, padded, chained, keys and more. If you want it secured we can help. They come in a variety of prices points and sizes to keep your valuables safe.
*GAS CANS- good for more than gas, store water, beer, flour or whatever else your family may need. They come in 2 sizes and lots of colours. They are easy to pour and store.
*TIE DOWNS- Secure it safely; in your truck or your garage or even your bookcase to the wall. They come in a variety of colours and types to make your living space and moving of your belongings are secure as you need.
*SECURE AND WATERPROOF BAGS- These bags come in many types from ATV add ons to backpacks and gear bags. Most lock and many are even weatherproof. Keep your valuables away from the elements and locked up tight.
*BATTERY TENDER- if you are leaving your battery unattended for a long period of time we recommend a battery tender to make sure its starts the first time you need it. They come in standard and weatherproof models.
*VIDEOS- if you are are going to to be evacuated, bored, stuck inside or need a pick me up a video is always a good way to keep your mind occupied. Entertainment is an important part of any emergency kit.
While these are things no one wants to think about it is important to keep in mind what you have and what you need to do in case the worst was to happen. If you have any questions about how Beaverton Motorcycles can help with your emergency kit please come in and ask any of our helpful staff.
