Here is the single most exciting breakthrough in emergency preparedness I have seen since I got into the emergency business over 5 years ago, meet the Life Cube Instant Shelter.  This extraordinary invention can be air dropped, has a 5 minute set up with no tools and provides an insulated tent structure with a raised hard floor with cooking (propane heat/cook source) , communications (AM/FM/CB Radio Built-In) and hygiene quarters with first-aid and a 12 v solar charger that is built in and simplified for easy use. In addition, water rations and MRE’s are included and the structures can be easily joined to one another to create an interconnected compound.

Think of the economy of time, money and effort that can be solved with this brilliant new advance in emergency preparedness. For government and military purposes this is a slam dunk!  Have to find a way to add this to the Ice-Qube.com Website – this is the ultimate family rescue item that can sit next to your generator or at an alternative site.

Join me when I welcome Life Cube, Inc. Business Development Chief Nick Pedersen to the ICE Land Radio Show this Tuesday, May 3, 2011 at 1 PM EST to talk about this exciting new advance in emergency preparedness or download the show at The Preparedness Radio Network.

I have a front row seat for the evolving ascension of emergency preparedness to the front lines of socially responsible business opportunities. The dynamic change in emergency preparedness is the joining of technology into the preparedness arsenal of tools. Investors, keep your eyes on emergency food, products and information companies, gurgling just beneath the surface and ready to explode.  I believe, the market is in search of the one company to take the lead in creating the relationship with the consumer, speaking the language that will make it easy for them to embrace the concept of preparedness, and to acquire and access real emergency information and products. The introduction of a technology component enables a business model to please most angel and vc partners.  Ultimately, the entity that scores by capturing the emergency preparedness marketplace, will have a tech and goods components.

Don’t usually sell these products on their own, but realized we had a cache of iOSAT  Potassium Iodine tablet,  14 Count, 130 MG and added them to the website for folks who may be looking for them.

We have been including them to our Ice-Qube Luxe and Essential kits from the beginning. Now I understand, that many folks want to make their own kits, so I have been adding individual products to the site that contribute in an emergency. Potassium Iodine tablets have always been a great addition to the well stocked emergency kit, but extreme caution is advised.  Do not take them until notified to do so. Having it and using it are two different things, but of course, can’t take it, if you don’t have it.

Emergency preparedness has a new bff! Found this new Solar Address Panel from Greenstick Solar and immediately saw the application for emergency usage.

Adding this easy to install, functional illuminated house number, to your home or office emergency kit assures that in an emergency, without electricity, your house number can be lit, facilitating easy access for emergency equipment and first responders.

Consider that in the event of a blackout or electrical disruption, emergency vehicles and others may have trouble finding your home without the benefit of illuminated street or house numbers. This solar charged address panel is a fantastic solution for that problem. Add this Solar Address Panel from Greenstick Solar to your emergency kit for use in a pinch. So easy to install, even I could do it. Includes the single AAA battery required and three sets of black vinyl numbers 0-9.

For everyday use, with four hours of sun exposure this new Solar Address Panel is an easy ‘green’ solution for adding illuminated house or building numbers without the expensive of running expensive electric lines.  How about using this for parties or events in hard to reach locales. I see lots of applications for this new product.

Was delighted to have the creator, Shan Hussain as a guest on my radio show, Ice Land to talk about how this young entrepreneur developed this new product. Seems I am the first to find application in the emergency arena, but I tend to see the world through a odd prism.

Even in my fancy neighborhood, this Solar Address Panel looks modern and sleek. Think outside the “kit” – include products in your emergency arsenal that can do heavy lifting in an emergency and this product fits the bill.

Available at ice-qube.com for the introductory price of $49.99, this product is a total winner.
