I hope you will be interested in this Canadian company's innovative safer emergency candle that is ideal for emergency preparedness.

One of the "lessons learned" from Hurricane Sandy and the Alberta flooding a year ago, was that seniors are one of the most vulnerable groups.

Seniors living in apartment buildings were one of the groups hardest hit by the inconvenience of long term power outages that were experienced by hundreds of thousand of people following Hurricane Sandy. Seniors living above the lower floors that were unable to use their building's elevator and often did not have the physical ability to use the stairs. They became prisoners in their apartments. The batteries for flashlights were soon exhausted and they had no alternative than to live in the dark. This combined with most seniors' concerns about falling often saw them going to bed from dusk to dawn. The Red Cross and other Disaster Relief Groups were able to provide emergency delivery of prescription medicine but the feasibility to deliver batteries door-to-door was impossible.
Think about how beneficial Kevin's Kandles would be, especially to this group. A pack of 100 - 10 hour candles in the kitchen cupboard combined with their bottle of vegetable oil could provide them with a nearly limitless supply of emergency lighting. There are no "shelf life" problems to worry about. If they stock batteries; how many do they stock? How do they find an economical way to rotate the batteries in storage? If they buy an extra bottle of vegetable oil prior to the storm or winter season and don't use it for lighting - they use it for cooking. There's no waste!
What a great gift for seniors in your family!

One week after Hurricane Sandy and millions were still living without electricity. Batteries were gone and fuel for generators was unavailable. Are Emergency Relief Organizations like FEMA and The Red Cross dropping the ball by NOT supporting Kevin's Kandles as an Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Tool? They are often adamant that only flash lights should be used during power outages. Constantly, past events have shown that once people exhaust their supply of batteries, they will burn candles! Shouldn't these Emergency Preparedness Organization be supporting the use of a much safer candle that will greatly reduce the risk of accidental fires? These organizations are in denial if they believe that people will not burn candles.

There were 6 reported "accidental paraffin candle fires" in NYC alone, in the first week following Hurricane Sandy!

If a Kevin's Kandle is left unattended - it will go out; if it is tipped over - it will go out!

Hurricane Sandy is a perfect example of why this great Fire Prevention idea should interest you.

We will have Power Failures – People will Burn Candles.
