Versus Self Reliance Expos
 I’ve recently heard of emergency preparedness expos and
most of them are held in areas where natural disasters are
more common. Usually they are put on by 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organizations while others are put together by
several different groups.
 Many times they are free to attend because there are lots of
vendors inside who share information and sell products
right there.
 I remember going to one of these right before Y2K and
there was actually a ton of great preparedness info, nice
people with common beliefs and lots of great products.

 What Can You Learn at Emergency Preparedness
Expos?
 Northwest Florida holds an event each year by the
group Support Alliance For Emergency Readiness
(SAFER). Gulf Breeze News says they are an:
 organization whose core purpose is to engage the
community in disaster preparedness, response and
recovery and was established to engage all sectors of
the community to ensure scarce resources are utilized
effectively, efficiently and with minimum duplication.

 They advertise the expo for businesses and homes to
be protected against disaster.
 So what can you learn at an event like this?
 At these type of expos you can learn how to be most
efficient in helping your community during and after
some sort of natural disaster or other emergency.

 The Self Reliance Expo
 I personally prefer something more along the lines of a self
reliance expo. These usually don’t have so much
government involvement which is actually quite creepy if
you asked me.
 These are usually put on by like-minded individuals such as
preppers and folks in the self reliance world. Sometimes
there are training classes, presentations and even exhibits.
 These types of expos also have sponsors and vendors and
many times you can bring the kids because they promote
family values.

6. Emergency Preparedness Expos
Versus Self Reliance Expos
 I personally prefer the self reliance expos because they
actually teach you skills you can use every day not just
during a natural disaster. You can use these skills for
that too but you can also use them for events such as
economic disasters.
 All you need to do is look online for one in your area.
 Have you ever been to an emergency preparedness
expo? Leave a comment below and tell us what you
learned.
