Prepare To Survive

Prepare to Survive

Over a year ago my husband, Matt, started learning wilderness survival.  He was laid off at the time so he had a lot of time for learning!  His interest in wilderness survival gradually turned into a desire to make sure that our family was prepared for any disaster that might occur in our area.  The more we researched and prepared our family, the more we realized that we need to share this information our family, friends, and anyone else who will listen; so a couple of months ago we started teaching an Emergency Preparedness workshop and just last week created a blog Prepare To Survive so that we can share more information with more people. 

So what about YOU?  Are you prepared to survive a tornado, earthquake, severe thunderstorm with major electrical outages?  Being prepared for emergencies is crucial at home, school, work, and in your community.  Disaster can strike quickly and without warning.  It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood, workplace, or school or can confine you to your home.  What would you do if basic services - water, gas, electricity or telephones - were cut off?  Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away.  The best way to make you and your family safer is to be prepared before the disaster strikes!
