"Be Prepared" is the time honored Boy Scout motto.
You should be prepared to help you and your family in an Emergency situation, whether it's a natural disaster or a terrorist threat. You must learn about terrorist situations, natural disasters, Emergency Preparedness and more. It may not even require a lot of time 5o take precautions and make preparations in your everyday life.
•Food - You can make purchases everytime you go to the store for foods high in water content, low in sodium (so as not to induce thirst) and good for long-term storage. Canned goods are particularly easy to acquire. Put these items on a shelf in a storage area for Emergeny Use Only. Cycle them through your regular eating menu if possible. You should also have items easy to fix in an emergency. Ramen noodle packs require little water
•Water - Water is critical. You can last a week or ten days without food but not water.There are a number of ways to store water. Don't just believe that Sparkletts is going to show up on time. Large water barrels, strategically placed in your residence, is the best option. You can get barrels that are 55 to 30 gallon drums. You can get extra Sparkletts bottles, date them and put them in a cool spot but cycle through them. Check out water preservatives.
•Disaster Plan - Have emergency kits in your car - just in case you're in an Emergency while traveling. Also at your business. Have a plan where to meet or who to call out of state.
•Protection - Police and other First Responders can be overwhelmed in your neighborhood. Consider training for self-defense in not only martial arts but Firearms training.
ANNOUNCEMENT: You will soon see the Citizen Soldier Handbook Store to buy useful products for your Emergency Preparedness.
