A natural disaster or an act of war upon our country could happen at any moment. Our federal government urges every family to be prepared to go at least three days without any kind of food or aid if such a thing ever does occur. Planning ahead for any little or big emergency can mean the difference between life and death. People who live within city limits may feel they do not need to prepare for three days because of the number of emergency services readily available. However, with the massive amounts of people who will most likely need aid as well as the possibility of aid workers harmed and equipment being destroyed. It is essential everybody is prepared for the worst.

A natural disaster can hit at any time. Most of the time, we have very little, if any warning. In addition to little warning, we tend to underestimate the extent of danger. With preparation, you stand a greater chance of staying calm and surviving a disaster.

Have You Thought About Preparing Your Family Survival Essentials?
Many people often ask, “What’s the worst that can happen?” The worst that can happen is there could be a major food shortage someday, and with the price of US currency dropping all the time, you cannot always trust your money to take care of you. Buying basic food ingredients in bulk, such as grain and cereal, plus investing in bulk purchases of seeds from a seed bank, are just some of the things you can do to protect your family from the worst. Along with this food, you will need a mill to grind grain for bread and other foods, and you will need a reusable water filter to modify contaminated or polluted water into water that is drinkable. It is also wise to stock up on canned food, dry food and other non-perishables, batteries, flashlights, power generators, kerosene and kerosene heaters, and toiletry items. There may some day come a day when people will have to make their own toiletry items. Things such as soap and deodorant can be made from organic materials using homemade recipes. Other things you may wish to buy to prepare for a long-term emergency are toilet paper, combs, portable toilets with deodorizing and sanitizing fluid, and basic tools like handsaws, nails, and wood. Some people have chosen to live this way, living “off the grid,” living off of the land and its natural resources. Creature comforts such as television and movies can still be enjoyed if you have a power generator, even if the power goes out for months. Portable DVD players and portable TVs are available wherever electronics are sold, and at survival shops.
