Family Preparation & Survival Guide

    Surviving natural disasters can be easy or hard.  It just depends on what you want to do & how you want to do it.  You can be calm through a natural disaster or you can be frantically running around praying for your life.  I prefer to take the easiest route through an ordeal of that nature.

    A person can prepare for every disaster imaginable and every terrorist attack concievable and can still wind up the wrong guest at a funeral.  Surviving natural disasters takes more than a few days of emergency supplies in a backpack and even more than a basement full of supplies of all kinds.  Without being able to keep calm (as much as possible) and put your knowledge of what to do & how to do it in an emergency situation to use, your chances of survival are slim to none. 

     Getting the confidence and assuredness to tackle & survive any natural disaster comes through knowledge and practice.  Knowledge is what fuels you confidence and practicing using your knowledge is what fuels your assuredness and confidence & assuredness both fuel each other.  follow the link at the first of this article to get all the information you need for your knowledge. 

    The rest is up to you, my friend.  It is hard to know what information to go by or which place to choose for information.  Our website gives you links to the the best places to get the FREE emergency preparation information.  Keep in mind this when you are reading all the free information you can find.  Did the SURVIVORS of Hurrican Katrina only have a 3 or 7 day wait until HELP arrived?  The FREE information wants you to believe all you need is a 3 or 7 day supply of emergency rations.

    Our Emergency Preparation Combo gives you enough information to survive ANY natural disaster or terrorist attack until you had all utilities on and all stores open again.  You can learn enough to live without stores & utilities all together.  Our emergency preparation information is priced at such a bargin for one reason, so you can save your hard earned money for what you really need to buy instead, emergency preparation supplies.   

     When someone says survival food, most people start thinking of foods like: military meals ready to eat, stored canned goods, & any other food that can be stored for long periods of time.  Not so.  You can ask most people how they would prepare their survival food and your most popular answer will be “Cook it on an open fire.”.    The possibilities are endless.  How to prepare survival food is one of the easy parts.

    When a person is trying to stay alive after a disaster, any meal or food they prepare has become survival food.  If you think about it, any food that you eat at any time, is survival food.  Food of all types can be cooked in many various ways.  You don’t have to have a stove to cook.  If a person knows several different ways to cook without a stove being one of them, your chances of survival after a disaster just went up.  The more things you know how to do in another way without the use of utilities, your chances of survival will keep going up.  The more things you know how to make without buying from stores, your chances of survival keep going up.  It is never too late to learn and prepare.  It is too late when you need to use what you would’ve learned.

Responsible emergency preparation is getting a survival guide that the family can agree on and putting it into action.  For far too long, people are often unprepared, but the reality is that we don’t know what tomorrow will bring.  We hope that we can live out our lives without facing atrocities and danger, but you can never be too careful.

By getting a survival guide, you can ensure the safety of you and your family by following some fool-proof, time-tested steps towards disaster preparation!

Disasters can strike quickly and without warning. What would you do if basic services - water, gas, electricity or telephones were cut off? Families can cope with disaster by preparing in advance and working together as a team. Knowing what to do is your best defense and your responsibility. Follow these steps for disaster preparedness.Find out what could happen. Learn about your community’s warning signals: what they sound like and what you should do when you hear them. Ask about animal care after a disaster.

Find out how to help elderly or disabled persons, if needed. Find out about the disaster plans at your workplace, your children’s school or day care center, and other places where your family spends time.

Create a disaster plan. Meet with your family and discuss why you need to prepare for disasters. Explain the dangers of fire, severe weather, and earthquakes to children. Plan to share responsibilities and work together as a team. Pick places to meet. Ask an out-of-state friend to be your “family contact.” Disaster planning is paramount!

Cover all your ground. Post emergency telephone numbers by your telephone. Teach children how and when to call 911 or your local Emergency Medical Services number for emergency help. Show each family member how and when to turn off the water, gas, and electricity. Check if you have adequate insurance coverage. Replace stored water and food every six months.

Keep emergency supplies in your home. Assemble emergency supplies to meet your needs for at least three days. Store these supplies in sturdy, easy-to-carry containers such as backpacks, duffel bags, or covered trash containers.

Familiarize yourself with the utilities. Locate the main electric fuse box, water service main, and natural gas main. Learn how and when to turn these utilities off. Keep necessary tools near gas and water shut-off valves.

If disaster strikes, put your plan into action. Remain calm and patient and give first aid and get help for seriously injured people. Listen to your battery-powered radio and evacuate if instructed to do so.
