Earthquake Preparedness - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Food Nutrition Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit


SCIENTISTS: GIGANTIC EARTHQUAKE
WOULD DEVASTATE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA


Dear friends,

After watching what just happened in China with
a large earthquake and tens of thousands of deaths
and casualties,
we need to pay attention to the signs of the times.

These things are warnings to us,
to people everywhere,
to PREPARE FOR NATURAL DISASTERS NOW.

Are you prepared to survive a massive earthquake in your home town?

Are you ready to help your neighbors who aren't going to be prepared?

Have you taken practical steps to prepare to
not only survive a massive earthquake or other natural disaster,
but actually overcome and help others overcome through it all?

Below is an article that just came out on FoxNews.com

I see it as a warning to everyone to get prepared now.
Don't put it off any longer.

Now is the time to have emergency supplies ready and on hand
for such a time as this.

Now is the time to store up some disaster nutrition and food
that will provide you with health and strength through trying times.

Now is the time to have a plan put in place regarding what you
and your family will do when the next massive disaster strikes.

Emergency Radios - Disaster Preparedness Nutrition Survival Food Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit

Emergency Radios for Natural Disasters and other Emergencies

Please take a few minutes and visit this link. You really need to do a little bit of research on the internet to find just the right kind of emergency radio for you and your family. This is one item you do NOT want to be without during a disaster, emergency, crisis, or national or regional emergency.

Corey Deitz shares the scoop on 7 different emergency radios, some of which are hand cranked.

I personally believe that every family should have some kind of emergency radio set aside for times of emergency, crisis, and disaster. I would recommend buying one that can be hand cranked that doesn't rely on batteries or electricity. It's better if you can find one that has several other functions on it such as a flashlight, solar panel, etc.

Check out this informative article on Emergency Radios by Corey Deitz.

Fuel Preparation - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Nutrition Survival Food Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit


SEVERAL WAYS TO STAY PREPARED FOR EMERGENCY DISASTER SITUATIONS

These are some very practical things that you can do on a daily or weekly basis in order to STAY PREPARED for times of emergency.

#1. Always Keep Your Gas Tank Above the Half Full Mark

I confess that I'm notorious for letting my gas tank get all the way to empty and even below the empty mark. I often let the warning light come on and then continue to drive for another 20-45 miles. I realize now that this is a very bad habit and not good for my engine. In addition, when an emergency arises, I will not be prepared for it.

Why is it important to keep your gas tank on the full side? The reason is that when a disaster strikes, the gas in your tank could become extremely valuable to you. You may need it to drive your family out of a dangerous area that is threatened by hurricanes or tornados, or you may need it to run your car for a week or two if the local or state government shut down gas stations or enforce a quarantine in your area.

#2. Always keep your heating oil tank and/or your propane gas tank at least half full.

If you do this, you will be much more able to endure a long power outage when freezing weather could be a threat to your life. During winter blizzards, ice storms, hurricanes, etc., the power can be out for days or even weeks. It's always wise to have extra heating fuel or gas on hand to live through those long cold days and nights when no service truck is even able to reach your house.

#3. Always keep the propane tank to your gas barbecue at least half full. We did this when we lived in California under the constant danger of earthquakes. Having an outdoor gas barbecue is a good back up way to cook your food if the electricity goes out for an extended time or if the gas is shut off because of the danger of fire after an earthquake.

#4. Always store plenty of fresh drinking water for yourself and your family. Water is probably the most important and most valuable asset you will have during and after a disaster. Safe healthy drinking water is the most important as you and your family will need to drink it. You'll also need plenty of water for cooking, cleaning, and washing purposes. See one of my earlier postings on the best kinds of containers to store your water in safely.

Strong Immune System - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Nutrition Survival Food Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit


Food for Thought that Could Save Your Life One Day Soon

If you're not taking care of your body today, in terms of what you are feeding it and in terms of exercise, what chance does your body have when a disaster or emergency strikes?

In other words, emergencies and disasters bring with them a lot of extra stress to your mind and to your body. Disasters are emotionally overwhelming because they suddenly and often without warning, alter or shatter our lives and daily routines. All of this puts an enormous amount of STRESS upon your mind, your emotions, and your physical body.

In order for your body to handle that stress, as well as your mind and emotions, you need to be prepared by cultivating a strong healthy body now based on optimal nutrition and plenty of exercise.

Think about it for a minute. How does a government prepare its citizen to deal with the incredible stresses of battle and war? They don't just draft a bunch of men and send them off to war. No, they first send them to basic training or "boot camp" in order to get them physically and mentally prepared for battle. In boot camp they shed excess weight, build strong muscles, get in top physical and mental shape, so that when they are eventually sent into battle, they are ready and their bodies and minds can handle the incredible stress that they will encounter and live under.

You and I need to think the same way about preparing for disasters. We need to enlist in the disaster preparedness army now, put ourselves through our own "boot camp" of health and nutrition training and physcial fitness, so that we are prepared physically and mentally to not only survive the coming disasters, but also overcome through them and be able to help a lot of other people who weren't prepared or who are weaker.

NOW is the time to get prepared. NOW is the time to change your diet. NOW is the time to start eating healthy nutrition. NOW is the time to claim health as your inheritance and create for yourself and your family a healthy and nutritious lifestyle. NOW is the time to get into shape and to stay in shape. NOW is the time to forsake the life of the "couch potato" and embrace the life of the disciplined new army recruit.

If you don't prepare NOW, then you won't be prepared when the disaster strikes. There will be no time to prepare once the crises hits. If you don't prepare NOW, your body will not be able to handle the stress and you will probably get very sick because your immunity level will be very weak from your undisciplined, unnutritious, and unhealthy lifestyle. You NEED to build a healthy immune system NOW. It doesn't just happen to you by itself; you have to work at it and feed your body what it really needs to be healthy and to fight off infection, illnesses, germs, viruses, etc.

DO NOT DELAY any longer! NOW IS THE TIME to prepare yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. Now is the time to build a strong healthy immune system by feeding your body all of the good organic whole food nutrition that you can put into it.

NOW is the time: the secret to surviving disasters is BEING PREPARED beforehand! Not next week, not next month, not next year, not when you have time, not when you think something bad is going to happen - but NOW.

Keep checking back with my postings as I will be providing you with a lot of more useful information and resources to help you get prepared now for the inevitable disasters on the horizon. You do NOT need to live in fear and anxiety - IF you are prepared.
BE PREPARED!

Healthy Water Storage - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Nutrition Survival Food Dehydrated Meal MRE Pack Supplies Kit


Health Question:
What kind of plastic bottles or containers

are best to store your drinking water in
for the next emergency or disaster?

My wife and I drink a lot of natural spring water every day. I'm sure you can imagine, as a result we go through a lot of water every week.

We get out drinking water from a friend's well, so once a week we have to drive over there and fill up our water bottles. In the beginning, we were reusing the light weight thin plastic bottles that we bought at Walmart with bottled water. Then we also started reusing the thicker Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice bottles. Finally, we got tired of filling up so many bottles, so we started using a large 5-gallon hard plastic bottle that you get when you sign up for home delivered bottled water.

Along this water bottle journey, I kept hearing bits and pieces about the dangers of and how certain toxic substances in the plastic will actually leach into the water itself causing various types of health problems.

Today I decided to do some research on this plastic bottle issue and I discovered some very helpful information that I'd like to share with you. There's quite a bit of information out there based on various scientific studies. However, I'm going to cut to the chase and only share the most critical information. In other words, I'm going to share with you which
to use and which to avoid.

One of the most important things for you and your family to store up for an emergency or disaster is good quality spring water. Equally important is the kind of container you use to store your water in.

THE WORST AND MOST UNHEALTHY PLASTIC BOTTLES TO AVOID

Most of these plastics come with a number and a name and an abbreviation for the name because they're difficult to say and to spell.

BEWARE of #7 POLYCARBONATE (Lexan) plastic bottles (including sippy cups and baby bottles). For a while people thought these bottles were safe, but recent research has proven that this plastic leaches Bisphenol A (BPA), which causes various health problems.

BEWARE of #1 PET (polyethylenene terephthalate) plastic bottles. Very unhealthy.

BEWARE of #3 PVC (polyvinyl chloride; aka vinyl) plastic bottles. Very unhealthy.

BEWARE of #6 POLYSTYRENE plastic bottles. You don't want this in contact with your water, drinks, or food. Very unhealthy.

THE BEST AND SAFEST MATERIALS FOR PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES (and FOOD STORAGE)

#5 PP - PolyPropylene.

#2 HDPE - High Density Polyethylene

#4 LDPE - Low Density Polyethylene


You can go on line and do a search for companies that make water bottles with these safe materials.

OTHER WATER STORAGE AND CARRYING SUGGESTIONS

GLASS - Is a very healthy and safe material for storing your water in. Just make sure you don't take it with you when you travel for obvious reasons.

STAINLESS STEEL - This is another good option, especially for traveling, camping, biking, skiing, etc. I would recommend a product I found called Klean Kanteen.

Finally, when buying water storage containers, be sure to buy bottles that have wide mouth openings so that you can do a much better job cleaning them periodically. When you have a bottle with a narrow opening, it's nearly impossible to clean it thoroughly, and you end up with bacteria growing inside the container that you can't get rid of.


I encourage you to shop on-line for the best quality water storage containers to store your natural spring water in for that eventual emergency or disaster. Avoid the wrong kinds of plastic and look for the best kind that don't leach BPA into your water. Surprisingly, many health food stores still carry the unhealthy kinds of plastic bottles such as polycarbonate.

Remember: the secret to surviving disasters is BEING PREPARED beforehand! Not next week, not next month, not next year, not when you have time, not when you think something bad is going to happen - but NOW.

Keep checking back with my postings as I will be providing you with a lot of more useful information and resources to help you get prepared now for the inevitable disasters on the horizon. You do NOT need to live in fear and anxiety - IF you are prepared to survive and overcome through whatever disasters strike next.
BE PREPARED!

Be Prepared - Emergency Disaster Preparedness Survival Kit Dehydrated Food Meal Pack MRE Supplies

ARE YOU PREPARED TO SURVIVE THE NEXT DISASTER?

I was a Boy Scout growing up, and I'll never forget our  MOTTO:

"BE PREPARED!"

When I think of all of the natural disasters and other disasters that have struck America in the last 10 years, I can't help wonder how many people's lives could have been saved - IF they had been prepared before disaster struck.

As a nation, the American people over the past 10 years have experienced terrorist attacks, hurricanes, floods, fires, tornados, earthquakes, civil unrest, martial law, and war. How many people have died in these disasters that could have been saved - IF they had been prepared?

The purpose of this blog site is to HELP PEOPLE GET PREPARED TO SURVIVE THE COMING DISASTERS that are only going to intensify over the next several years.

I WANT TO HELP YOU BE PREPARED TO SURVIVE what's coming next, and for you to be able to help others during the coming emergencies.

Let me ask you a few key questions:

1. Do you have enough food stored away for you and your family for 6 months?

2. Do you have long shelf-life dehydrated fruits and vegetables stored away as well?

3. Do you have enough natural spring water stored away for 6 weeks in safe containers and do you have a high-quality water purifying system that doesn't use electricity?

4. Do you have a way to heat water and to cook food that doesn't use electricity?

5. Do you have a survival kit that includes things like first aid kit, flashlight, batteries, extra warm clothes, sleeping bags and blankets, toilet paper, towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes, soap, bug spray, hats, compass, radio, flares, matches, cups & plates & utensils, and anything else you would need to live outdoors with your family for three weeks?

These are just a few of the questions that I have that will get you thinking about how prepared you are for the coming emergencies and disasters. If you don't have these basic things stored away in your garage or basement, then you're really not prepared for what's coming.

Remember: the secret to surviving disasters is BEING PREPARED - beforehand, meaning NOW! Not next week, not next month, not next year, not when you have time, not when you think something bad is going to happen - but NOW.

Keep checking back with my postings as I will be providing you with more useful information and resources to help you get prepared now for the inevitable disasters on the horizon. You do not need to live in fear and anxiety - IF you're prepared to survive and overcome through whatever disasters strike next. BE PREPARED!
