Create an emergency preparedness plan.
The first thing in preparing for emergencies is to understand the types of emergencies would likely happen in the area you live. For example the area I live we are susceptible to floods and wildfires. And the human caused ones like terrorizing, or shooting. Which I suspect will get worse because the state government is sending people to my town for rehab “rehabilitation” programs from prison because we are out of the way, thinking people will not re-offend.
We need to have a way to stay informed. Having a 2-way radio with plenty of batteries.
Building an emergency kit is also important. Water, non perishable foods, flashlights, batteries, first aid kit, medications, copies of important document, cash, hugging supplies, multi tools, or knives, hygiene supplies, where to charge cell phones, like solar or power banks. It’s important to have contact information written down and a meeting place in case you get separated.
We all hope we won’t need an emergency preparedness plan, but it is essential to protect yourselves and your family. It’s important to have an organized plan.
