In this article we will be discussing the topic of emergency preparedness and survival. With all that is going on in the world right now, it is prudent that we consider a preparedness and survival plan.
When you think of survival, what comes to mind?
Most people think of the movie “The Road Warrior” where they imagine themselves surviving in the wild with nothing but their wits and whatever they can find. In reality, survival is not about being able to fend off wild animals or being able to outrun a hungry grizzly bear. Survival is actually about being able to cope with anything life throws at you. Whether you encounter a natural disaster, global pandemic, or financial collapse – you need to be able to survive.

There are many different types of disasters that can occur, including floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, and even nuclear meltdowns. The list is endless which makes planning and preparedness very important. Don’t let a disaster situation catch you without a plan.
Many people have a very poor understanding of how long they would be able to survive in the event of an emergency. There are many factors that come into play when determining how long you can survive in an emergency situation. For example, if you live in a hurricane zone, you may have to prepare for a minimum of three days before you can expect help to arrive. However, if you live in a tornado zone, you may only have to prepare for a day or two.
If you have a family, it is very important that you determine what type of disaster your family will be able to survive. If you have children, you will want to make sure that you know how long it will take to get help. You will also want to consider how far away your family members are from each other. If you live in a large city, you may be able to walk there in a short amount of time. However, if you live outside of town, you may have to wait hours or even days for help to arrive.

You will also need to determine what supplies you need to have on hand. This will depend on the type of disaster you will be facing. Some people think that they will just have to pack up their bags and go. However, you may need to make sure that you have enough food, water, and clothing to last you until help arrives.
In addition, you will want to consider what type of shelter you will need. If you live in an area that has frequent earthquakes, you may want to consider building a shelter on top of your home. If you live in a tornado zone and are not in a basement, you may want to consider a tent. If you live in a flood zone, you may want to consider buying a boat or renting a cabin on a lake.
If you are not sure what type of disaster you will be faced with, you may want to consider taking a class on survival skills. You will learn the basics of what you will need to survive and you will be able to determine how long you can survive without help.
