Most beginning "preppers" don't know where to begin when preparing for a disaster in their area. Do they run out and buy food? Water? Maybe flashlights, generators or tools? Feeling overwhelmed they become apathetic and decide the "Red Cross will take care of me in the event of an emergency." Somewhat true, but only WHEN and IF they can. Sometimes, that can mean days! So where do you begin?
Prepare for where you live.
Here is an example. I live in Coastal California, therefore, I need to prepare for earthquake, tsunami, possible flooding and fire. I also live within 20 miles of a nuclear plant, so I really need to know what to do for that emergency as well.
Preparing for an emergency of any kind will be similar. You will need to have, at the minimum, a 3 day supply of the basics; food, drinkable water and basic first aid supplies. Even better would be to make a point to store a weeks worth.
Before you say I don't have the money or space to do that, I hope you will continue to read my Blog. Over the next several months, I will give you some daily ideas that anyone can implement to become better prepared.
