Emergency Preparedness isn't panic its an insurance policy. So if things do go sideways you have a cushion to help soften the blow. Again as I scroll through comments on a post reference current world events and emergency preparedness from government entities. The "everything is fine" "nothing ever happens" "its a plan to control the populous" crowd were out in force. I hope nothing will ever happen, but that is small minded. Something will happen, it may not be a large scale cyber attack or some SHTF situation; but storms happen and the power goes out. That's why WE prepare. WE prepare so there is a cushion when things go sideways. It doesn't really matter who or what started the "situation", foreign government, terrorist organization, false flag or mother nature. What matters is YOU have the necessary supplies, a plan, skills and knowledge. You are your own first responder, take accountability for your wellbeing. So in short, have the emergency preparedness cushion. Stay Safe
