Preparing for CBRN defense is one of the most terrifying topics in the world of emergency preparedness.

CBRN stands for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense. This topic is one that I had not prioritized
highly in the past. The reason I had previously not prioritized this higher in my family’s emergency preparedness
planning is that it was almost impossible to find a cost-effective way of protecting my children from the threat of
CBRN. There just weren’t very many options for CBRN or NBC protective suits and masks specifically made for
children. This had been my dilemma for years. MIRA Safety is leading the charge in offering civilian’s professional
grade CBRN protection, such as Hazmat suits and Gas masks for everyone; including youth and infants.
This document and corresponding video will show you my Family CBRN Kit that features CBRN protective
suits for each member of my family, in addition to some shared items. I am currently storing my Family CBRN Kit in
my Color Coordinated Storage Bins, which I covered in a previous video. I keep these color-coded bins, which
leverage the concept I call “The Color Of Prepping”, on shelves in our homes garage. Rather than store everything in
one large bin, I’ve modularized my family kit and have each family members kit stored in their own Insulated
Reinforced Grocery Bag. Each bag is labelled with an ID tag. This will hopefully allow us to easily identify each
family members CBRN protective clothing quickly, in case of an emergency.
FYI, I am by no means an expert in this field. The items selected for this kit were selected based on
numerous discussions I’ve had with MIRA Safety, tons of online research, discussions with people who frequently
use CBRN protective equipment for their line of work, and through inspiration I’ve obtained by watching shows
like the HBO series Chernobyl, the movie Contagion, and more. You should definitely do your own research
regarding this topic to figure out what would work best for you and your family’s preparedness measures.
