Are You Going to be Next?

This has been a devastating hurricane season for the south and eastern coasts of the United States. This weekend I was watching the news footage of the refugees evacuating the Texas coastline in advance of Hurricane Ike.

Most of them wore an expression of worry and almost panic as they clutched plastic shopping bags of a few items they'd grabbed before leaving home. However, in one shot showed what seemed to be a family waiting in line. Each person wore a backpack, while the father carried a large duffle. I didn't see any panic on their faces. They were evidently prepared.

Today I watched the news coverage as authorities went from house to house in Galveston checking for those who had decided not to evacuate. I also saw lines of people waiting for water and ice. There were also people shown waiting for a grocery store to open so they could get some food, while another woman was trying to get some gas for her generator.

My heart broke for those people who are suffering now because they didn't take time to do a little preparedness; some canned and dried food, some extra water, some extra fuel for the generator and a go bag or bug out bag for every family member. So little really, but priceless in situations like so much of the United States has experienced in the last few weeks.

Remeber: "Don't put off until tomorrow" when the hurricane is supposed to make landfall "those things you can do today" to be ready and safe.

New Survival Preparedness Group

There's a new survival preparedness group that has been created by the owner of this blog and the Survival Homestead website.

While there are many such groups online, the main focus of this group is sharing ideas about preparing on a budget. In these days of financial instability it is even more important that we prepare. There are people managing to set aside some long-term storage foods and other survival necessities even though they are living on a limited income.

I personally know the importance of preparing, especially of putting food aside. I once spent 10 months living in the forest completely unable to get to town. Thankfully I had spent the previous winter stockpiling food. Those preparations really helped us make it through.

A few years later when both of us were without a job (again) the food I had stockpiled while employed it what brought us through.

What do you think?

I've started a survey to get your thoughts about the possibility of an imminent attack on U.S. soil.

Yesterday the news was talking about bin Ladin again and how he's managed to elude the US and rebuild his network of terrorist followers. According to the news the threat level is even higher and those in the various think tanks believe that there is a definite danger.

That having been said, no real warning was given. People were not advised to make any kind of preparations, not even for food or water!

My advise to you? If the government thinks there might be danger of an attack, yet fails to tell you to prepare, then you'd better take it upon yourself to do whatever it takes to protect you and your family. Water and food are the two items which are necessary for survival. They are also the two easiest items to gather and store against a future need.

A Gut Feeling?

Today the Director of Homeland Security said that he had a "gut feeling" that the United States may experience some kind of terrorist attack this summer. I also heard the word "nuclear" and "transportation". There was also some question about how much was really a certainty being disguised as a "gut feeling".

Whether you call it a "gut feeling", "intuition" or "paranoia" there are some people that are convinced that sooner or later there will be a nuclear incident in this country. Whether the incident would be limited to one place, or would be a well-planned, coordinated attack occuring in multiple locations at one time is just a matter of guess work.

However, given the propensity of the enemy to want the most "bang for their buck", even a seemingly localized incident could have far-reaching effects. For instance, the 9/11 attacks in New York, caused job layoffs in Texas (and elsewhere). The effects were not just limited to NYC.

If you haven't made any survival preparations, now would be a good time to see about preparing for the survival of your family. After all, if you are a good parent, chances are that you have a life-insurance policy that would help your family survive in the event of your death. Isn't it just as important that you do what you can to guarantee their survival in the event of a wide-spread terrorist attack?

Who What How and Why

When confronted with the idea of disaster and emergency preparedness many (most) people prefer to simply ignore any suggestion that they should prepare. In an effort to help you not become more of a victim than necessary in the event of a local or wide-spread natural disaster or man-made terrorist event, we are going to answer a few basic questions.

Who should prepare? What should be prepared? How do I prepare? Why should I prepare?

The "why" has already been answered: to avoid being a victim. However, it actually boils down to a very basic: survival. "Survival of the fittest" is more than just an evolutionary idea, it applies to any event that threatens lives.

Hurricane Katrina was a perfect example of why one should be prepared. Those who weren't prepared ended up crowded into an arena filled with other victims. There they were subject to being victimized even further by violence and rape and even murder.

Why should you prepare? How about to ensure that your family doesn't suffer for your arrogance. Are you so arrogant that you think that bad things, hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorist attacks only happen to other people? Get over it! Sooner or later the "other people" become you, and suddenly you are a victim and a refugee, as are your spouse and children.

The people you won't see standing in line to get food and drinking water are those who took the time and made the effort to store a few weeks of food and water. They're hunkered down waiting for the tragedy to pass, while you are wishing you'd done things differently. Regret is not easily swallowed.
