Are You Really Ready for Disaster?

If you were to ask 10 people this question I imagine you might get 10 different answers depending on what emergency preparedness means to that person. Take me for example. I definitely have enough emergency food storage to keep my little family fed for at least three months. I even have a bucket of dehydrated milk stowed away specifically for my toddler. That’s all well and good, but I know I don’t have enough water stored to last that long, and eating powdered milk might very well be worse than drinking it.I also have a well stocked survival kit that...

Best Storage Areas for Survival Kit Accessibility

Many survivalists spend money and time on preparing the best emergency survival kits for their families. But, if the kits are not accessible during a disaster, the efforts will be wasted. Where you store your survival kit can be crucial to its accessibility.

I’m prepared, but I’m also a realist, so I imagine that for every one of us preppers, survivalists, or believers in long term emergency food storage, there is almost certainly a naysayer who might call us eccentric, over zealous or paranoid.

The size and scale of these events affected densely populated areas all around the world and caused massive environmental, financial and human loss. The increasing severity of disasters has prompted many people to start taking emergency preparedness more seriously. While the scope and timing of these events are beyond control, being well equipped with a survival kit, emergency food and water storage will be undoubtedly helpful in the aftermath of almost any...

The #1 Emergency Preparedness Solution for #2

Let me start with a disclaimer. This is not a glamorous subject. In fact you might think it’s kind of gross. Ordinarily I might have a hard time finding an angle that makes this topic resonate with anyone living in an urban setting (or anywhere for that matter), but the rapidly rising waters of the mighty Mississippi could be forcing the closure of sewage plants any day now, and that means people may not have access to tap water, and toilets might operate like they should. So here we go. Most of us don’t care to think about what happens...
