Cool. That leaflet looks good.

Cheap and Easy Water Purification using a 20 liter water container
Find some kind of decent water, put a clean piece of cloth over the top and start pourig water slowly into the large container. The cloth will serve as a first line of defense to get out the big stuff. Once the container is filled with water, put in 2 teaspoons of chlorine bleach(preferably plain bleach without additives) into the water and let it stand 30 minutes. All the nasty germs should be killed and though their will be a chlorine taste to the water, it will be safe to drink. No boiling needed.

I don't have WORD on my home computer but I think it would be possible to edit the hesperian document enough to fit it on the BROCHURE template, graphics and all, printed both sides as 3 columns. It is meant to folded but, that step could be skipped

Have Disaster Supplies on Hand
* Flashlight and extra batteries.
* Portable battery-operated radio and extra batteries.
* First aid kit and manual.
* Emergency food and water.
* Nonelectric can opener.
* Essential medicines.
* Cash and credit cards.
* Sturdy shoes.

Develop an Emergency Communication Plan
* In case family members are separated from one another during an earthquake (a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are at school), develop a plan for reuniting after the disaster.
* Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the "family contact." After a disaster, it's often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address, and phone number of the contact person.
