What You Need To Survive A Disaster

April 8, 2016December 18, 2018 Linda Loosli 0 Comments Survive a disaster

What you need to survive a disaster can be many items or things to consider. Of course, it depends on the disaster or unforeseen emergency. If your home is still standing and you and your family are able to stay at home you will have several of these items available for your use. My concern and focus are the families who are not prepared and think the government will come by and take care of them. That is NOT going to happen, at least in the short term. Depending on the disaster, pandemic, or emergency we will be on our own. Literally on our own. There should be no fear if we are prepared with supplies such as the ones I have posted today. These are the bare necessities. I have helped people pack their homes to move and so many could not survive more than three days. Trust me, the stores will be empty in 24 hours, maybe 36 hours.

Items to Survive a Disaster:

Let’s pretend we have zero electricity, natural gas, or water for a minimum of two weeks, are you prepared? Are your neighbors prepared? The banks are closed and direct deposit paychecks, retirement checks and other types of income cannot be accessed. We must be prepared for this, not just terrorist attacks, or wars. Mother nature can hit our cities with a vengeance, often times when we least expect it.
