outages, fires, floods, earthquakes, wind, and storms can damage your
home or interrupt utilities, phones, stores, ATMs, and travel. These
things occur when you are least prepared. This is an inexpensive common
sense preparation document.
The large disaster relief
organizations can provide basic relief for a lot of people, but need a
few days to get set up. Wise people are prepared to handle problems on
their own for a week.
Don't buy any survival kits or
anything you are not familiar with. After the power goes out is not the
time to try something out. Don't waste your money buying "special
survival food". It will probably get old before you need it. Just keep
your regular canned goods supplied.
This is not a complete guide to
preparation; it is only to give you a starting place. Experience,
training and special equipment provides better preparation. And nothing
is better than common sense (which doesn't seem to be very common).
