Are you
prepared for survival?
Regardless of what the storm is -- severe weather, national
emergency, or terrorist attack -- make sure you're ready for it.
- Buy a
weather radio for emergencies
- Develop a disaster plan
- Build a survival kit
- Remember: canned and pre-packaged food, medicines
and first aid supplies, and bottled water, do expire.
You should check the expiration dates on your supplies at least every 6 months.
I like to do that on October 1st to be ready for winter and
April 1st to be ready for the spring storm season.
- Batteries have a shelf life too!
- Complete survival kits can be purchased from the trusted suppliers
listed below.
- Discuss your plan with family and friends
Here are some great links for explanations of the typical types
of disasters and what YOU can do to prepare for them.
In September of
2009 the Department of Homeland Security released this
report on the Homeland Security Advisory System.
Are you curious about what the Federal Government says about
Homeland Security? Read the
National Strategy for Homeland Security report.
