…You smell smoke in the air. The ground begins to roll under foot. The skies have opened with a hundred-year rain. How high will the water crest? Will the hill behind you slide into your home?
Now is when it occurs to you to wish you had done your pre-planning and set up your home so that you would have everything you would need in an EMERGENCY.
In the terrible beginning moments as you confront the EMERGENCY, you may find there is no one to help you, you can’t find anything you need, what you have is broken, inadequate, or you can‟t get to your supplies.
When you plan, always consider the worst possibility: No water, power, gas, roads, or communication! And worst of all, it’s dark outside.
The following pages have been prepared to start you thinking about your needs, your family‟s needs, your animal’s needs, the needs of your property, and also your neighbors‟ needs. Many questions are asked. You must find most of the answers for your particular conditions.
You should focus on developing the resources necessary for an EMERGENCY - things that you will need for at least 72 hours, as well as for the possibility of an EXTENDED EMERGENCY that could go on for weeks, or even months.
These two publications will help you prepare for your emergency if the time should come.
