How to Prepare for a Coming Emergency

Bug-Out-Bags are not just for Conspiracy Theorists, Survivalists, and Preppers. In fact, the following information is recommended by FEMA and the CDC here for everyone in the preparation of any emergency. Local emergencies may include earthquake, tornado, flood, fire, severe weather, power outage, pandemic, civil unrest and/or societal collapse… not to mention, the impending doom of the inevitable zombie apocalypse.

Being prepared can save the lives of you and your loved ones. Follow these guidelines from the FEMA website to make sure you are prepared:

Build a Kit

After an emergency, you may need to survive on your own for several days. Being prepared means having your own food, water and other supplies to last for several days. A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency.

Make sure your emergency kit is stocked with the items on the checklist below. Once you take a look at the basic items consider what unique needs your family might have, such as supplies for pets or seniors.

To assemble your kit store items in airtight plastic bags and put your entire disaster supplies kit in one or two easy-to-carry containers such as plastic bins or a duffel bag.

A basic emergency supply kit could include the following recommended items:

1. Water (one gallon per person per day for several days, for drinking and sanitation)
2. Food (at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food)
3. Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert
4. Flashlight
5. First aid kit
6. Extra batteries
7. Whistle (to signal for help)
8. Dust mask (to help filter contaminated air)
9. Plastic sheeting and duct tape (to shelter in place)
10. Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties (for personal sanitation)
11. Wrench or pliers (to turn off utilities)
12. Manual can opener (for food)
13. Local maps
14. Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery
15. Masks (for everyone ages 2 and above), soap, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes to disinfect surfaces
16. Prescription medications. About half of all Americans take a prescription medicine every day. An emergency can make it difficult for them to refill their prescription or to find an open pharmacy. Organize and protect your prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and vitamins to prepare for an emergency.
17. Non-prescription medications such as pain relievers, anti-diarrhea medication, antacids or laxatives
18. Prescription eyeglasses and contact lens solution
19. Infant formula, bottles, diapers, wipes and diaper rash cream
20. Pet food and extra water for your pet
21. Cash or traveler’s checks
22. Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records saved electronically or in a waterproof, portable container
23. Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person
24. Complete change of clothing appropriate for your climate and sturdy shoes
25. Fire extinguisher
26. Matches in a waterproof container
27. Feminine supplies and personal hygiene items
28. Mess kits, paper cups, plates, paper towels and plastic utensils
29. Paper and pencil
30. Books, games, puzzles or other activities for children

In addition to the above FEMA recommendations, we would also add:

31. cooking supplies such as a lightweight metal pot
32. a small shovel, baby wipes
33. a hatchet
34. a pup tent
35. two or more knives
36. shot gun
37. handgun(s)
38. and a significant amount of ammo.

And remember, if you don’t have or carry a weapon… someone with a weapon may just take your Bug-Out-Bag(s) and everything you would have used for you and your loved ones’ survival.

While there are literally thousands of other items you might add to this list for your own personal Bug-Out-Bag, things like alcohol and tobacco for trading, plastic bags, space blankets, slingshots, water-filtration straws, road flares, and the like, this list should provide for you a basic understanding of what you may need. You might begin with the list above until you have one Bug-Out-Bag for each member of your family and then add to it as you go.

Remember to research how to survive in nature, and remember also the Rule of Threes – that we can survive 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food.

So, whether you are anticipating:

1. a “natural disaster” brought to you by cloudseeding and weather manipulation in the name of Climate Change…
2. a manmade and patented viral outbreak created in a Wuhan lab and released from Event 201 in New York…
3. an engineered food shortage crisis designed to supply provisions only for those with vaccine passports…
4. a CenterPoint Energy price-gouging event that sends us all back to the dark ages…
5. a George Soros-funded, Weather-Underground-affiliated Antifa/BLM building-burning mass riot in the streets…
6. a CIA/NATO joint false-flag operation designed to destroy the last great superpower nation on Earth in order for the UN/One-World-Government to stake its claim on the globe…
7. or a zombie apocalypse in which everyone around you has believed everything their TV has told them to believe since “1984”…

…It is best to be ready for anything whether you are a conspiracy theorist, a survivalist, a prepper, or just someone who wants to protect your family from very real and potential threats of danger. Now go get yourself and your loved ones prepared for any emergency, and plan accordingly for your personal family needs.
