what are some christmas gifts a 15 year old girl might like for christmas?
I would get rid of about half of that stuff and add others to it. Besides the food and water (already mentioned) I would add toilet paper, soap, tooth brush, tooth paste, deodorant (give the animals a break). Get rid of most of your fire making equipment. One box of matches and a small butane lighter should be fine. If you worry about starting a fire, get fire starter tablets at the army/navy store. these are much smaller than all of that equipment. Get rid of the illumination sticks and get an LED flashlight that can be used for several hundred hours on one set of batteries. Bring an extra set. Depending on where you live, bring rain gear. An emergency poncho is very small. Some kind of small tent with ground floor to keep you dry would be good. A small camper trowel to dig with (unless you are going to lug a toilet into the woods you need to bury your .).
Isn't that in the city or townships hands? or do you work for them?
Fire hydrants belong to the city that you live in (or work in). They are responsible for the maintenance of those hydrants. They have to flush them on a regular basis, cycle them and repair and broken hydrants. If you have a broken hydrant, you need to contact the department of public works (DPW) in your town. There are codes and regulations that deal with all that stuff that the city has to follow. If you don't get any help from them, call the fire department non-emergency number. They are the primary users (others may use hydrants with permission from the city) and would know exactly who is responsible for the hydrant and its maintenance.
