1. Disaster Preparedness for the Family -
Important Aspects Imperative to Survival
Level 1. There's no way to predict when disaster might
strike. The simplest way to survive tragedy is always to
first prepare for a emergency, such as 72 hours. That's
why your purchase of quality survival kits for each
member of your household and animals is strongly
suggested. You can at the least feel much better knowing
that you have taken the first step to get yourself ready
for a tiny disaster, once you've done that. Unfortuitously,
many disasters aren't small. Just take Hurricane Katrina
of 2005, for instance. Destruction was spread by
hurricane Katrina across 7 states, with New Orleans,
Louisiana being the hardest hit. If you do not reside in an area which usually suffers problems
from hurricanes, how safe are you from other natural disasters? The extreme temperatures of
1980 killed 1260 people in the Usa. The 1980 devastating heat wave and drought triggered crops
to fail and the resulting food shortages introduced increased food prices to consumers. Since
storms generally cause over half of natural disaster deaths, you will want to focus your
preliminary survival preparedness there? Storms frequently knock out electrical power from
wind, flooding or snow, so arrange for storm problems first; particularly when you're feeling
overwhelmed with most of the "what ifs" problem situations.
Stage 2. Once you're satisfied that you and each member of your family can survive a crisis for
three days, then quickly make a survival plan for one week! Yes, I am talking serious disaster
preparedness here! A hit our area with 90 mile/hr last cold weather. The ability and winds sought
out. One element of our community was without power for just two days with below zero
temperatures. While another community had 27 feet of snow another community in our state had
a total ideal of 18 feet in January 2012. There have been no deaths, and neighbors helped
neighbors, people did not stress, plenty of small generators run up, wood stoves burned through
lots of saved wood, and all survived. People hauled simply because they were well prepared,
water when their pipes froze, and did not starve with smoked and canned fish, frozen moose
meat, and canned/frozen berries and garden vegetables. Local community agencies offer many
methods to greatly help citizens survive. By this time around maybe you are thinking that our
climate is harsh. Yes, and we don't run from this, both. We replenish on food and wood and other
materials all summer. We look, fish, could, dry, and freeze foods to store for winter. We dig in,
prepare, and survive! It is possible to, too. You can buy products for sale, and stock up!, even
though you are living in an urban environment
Level 3. I am brought by that to the subject of extreme disaster preparedness - about to survive
one month! Yes. Our winters in Alaska are 8-9 months long! Oh yes, we have cities here. We
work and buy food at stores the same as everyone. But if you've ever been here, you might have
left with the impression that Alaskans are seriously interested in their rights to subsistence

2. fishing. Moose shopping season empties plenty of offices around Anchorage and Fairbanks in
the fall season. Cold temperatures comes annually, and it is difficult, so we make ready.
Sounds easy? Well, someone said that exploring some thing may be the easiest element of any
project. The hardest part is always to stop exploring and START DOING!
So let's focus on the easy part - research. There is a plethora of information available online.
There are disaster plan courses you can download, survival lists, and gardening tips galore. There
are government agencies with resources to help. Utilize your LOCAL community resources to
locate out about local edible plants and getting the most out of your gardening efforts for your
own climate and soil types. Have a look at university extension services in your area for edible
plants indigenous to your area and plant the seeds they recommend. These are just some ideas.
BEGIN DOING NOW! Revise your Survival Plan to give you and your loved ones for one or
more month. Include alternative methods indigenous to your area and several hand tools.
Exercise it down seriously to only the requirements on your own set of survival items. If you can
survive 30 days, you will survive 9 months! By doing all your research, you have the information
you requirement for many issues.
Obtain your survival things on your list and maintain the essentials. Survival services and
products make your job easier. All of the planning is done for you. Most internet sites have
product groups which have your main survival issues arranged. Make your survival products list
and look vigilantly for medical supplies, survival systems, storage foods, and survival equipment
predicated on your research.

Stay glued to 3 stages of preparation, and you'll amaze
yourself how soon you're able to plan and implement
your own plan for emergency survival. Make your
personal individual survival preparedness, and continue
steadily to revise it. Make sure to practice your survival
strategy with all the family often BEFORE disaster
strikes. Therefore each relative feels more comfortable
with his/her role and responsibilities in a crisis then
punch frequently. It will help avoid panic. Practice
builds your confidence and the relevant skills to survive
whatever nature throws at you.
