Mega Disaster Survival Guide

Now that many of the dire predictions for the present day have been corroborated -- both by scientific studies and actual mega-disasters -- this might be a good time to hunker down for the bumpy ride ahead.

GET A KIT. MAKE A PLAN. BE INFORMED.

You should always have an emergency kit ready in case of any disaster. Always make sure you have a plan for your family and be informed via radio or TV or internet. If power is out, make sure you have a battery radio or crank radio.

WHAT YOU NEED TO PREPARE

After a major disaster the usual services we take for granted, such as running water, refrigeration, and telephones, may be unavailable.

Wild Edible Plants

It is vital that you can identify the wild edible plants that you intend to utilize. Some edible plants have deadly poisonous look-alikes.

Are You Ready?

You may need to survive on your own after a disaster. This means having your own food, water, and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least three days.

My personal opinion is to have at least a 6 month supply of food for each family member. Click link below for more information.
