When it’s about the emergency situations and disaster, the focus mainly is on the food products again. But in that situation as well, non-food holds a key importance in facilitating towards survival.
In the emergency situations, the NGO’s and human relief organizations tends to be proactive to help people with the food items and others. But, it’s necessary for us as well to help out the effected people with the non-food Items as follows.

That’s the list of the most important non-foods which can help us remain clean and healthy. The cleanliness is really necessary for every one of us. If we will remain clean every time, it will actually keep the diseases away from us and help us remain healthy.
