25 Surefire Ways To Keep In Touch With Your Beloved During A Catastrophe



We all like to think of our perfect lives as safe and secure. We will always get up, go to work, take care of our families, and enjoy our lives. Nothing bad is ever going to happen to us, and nothing out of our control is going to strike.

This is the mindset of many people, and while you don’t want to slip into a state of paranoia, it is important to understand that life may not always be the bed of roses that it is right now. You may not always be out of harm’s way, and you may not always be in control.

Disasters happen, and there are things that come out of the blue and take the world by surprise. You are living your life like you always have one second, then the next everything is completely different than you ever thought possible.

What are you going to do if this happens? How are you going to stay in touch with your friends and family? Do your loved ones know what to do if they are in this kind of situation?

And that’s where this book comes in. In it, you are going to learn how to communicate and stay in touch during any kind of disaster – every time.

The only way to ensure that your family and loved ones are going to be safe is to set a plan in place, and stick to the plan no matter what. Make sure you and your loved ones all know how to communicate with each other if there is a disaster, and that you have set in place a safety system that everyone can follow.

You don’t want to think about all the what ifs that could happen, but you will certainly rest better at night knowing that your family and loved ones are safe and secure under the system you have put in place.



  • Learn how to keep in touch during a disaster

  • Teach your loved ones what to do and where to go in an emergency

  • Practice what you have put in place and prepare for anything

  • And much, much more!

EMP Attack Survival Items: The Ultimate Guide On How To Build A Highly Effective Survival Kit That Will Allow You To Survive An EMP Attack was a free kindle book at the time of this post. This book will discuss how to build your own personal EMP attack survival kit. An EMP attack would, without question, be one of the most devastating types of disasters that could impact the United States. The power grid would collapse instantly. The vast majority of vehicles would no longer work. The supply chain would stop. There would be no more utilities, forms of long distance communication, or running water. The economy will completely and utterly collapse. All the stores in your town will become looted. Your electronics, including your smart phone and your laptop, will cease working immediately as well. Within just a few months, tens if not hundreds of millions would die from starvation, dehydration, suicide, disease, or murder. To make matters worse, the United States government has virtually no contingency plan on how to deal with an EMP attack. This means that the recovery period would take years. During that time, you will be completely on your own. Your life will never be the same again. If our enemies would ever want to deal a truly destructive and overwhelming blow to the United States, an EMP attack would be the way they would do it. To survive such a catastrophic event, you must have your own personal survival kit ready to go.

This book will discuss how to build your own personal EMP survival kit in the following categories: -Food and Water -Powerless Tools -Weapons -First Aid -Personal Hygiene -Fire and Shelter -Communication -Bartering Items In addition, this book will provide recommendations on specific makes and models of gear in the above categories. By the end of this book, you will have complete knowledge of everything you need to have in your EMP survival kit, so you can begin putting it together immediately.

Tiny Storage For Bug-Out Bag!

 
This is super easy to do and it gives you tiny storage for your bug-out bag for spices, pills, pins, anything that you can think of that will fit in them. They fit in your bug-out bag great. Do not take up any room at all.
 
You need 2 plastic bottles that have lids. I used water bottles for this one.
 
Cut just under the top of the one bottle and glue it into the one bottle cap. Use a strong glue, like super glue,  etc. You will have the screw part for the other lid. Can open and close easily and tightly.
 
This takes only a couple of minutes to make. I cut off a few of them and had my son making them for me.

What Disaster Scenarios Are You Preparing For?


The idea of preparedness goes many ways– from people who will hide under their beds when disaster strikes all the way to people who are able to be almost entirely self sufficient for many years.
If you are reading this blog then you're probably somewhere in between.
 A good way to help you focus on your preparedness needs and to get really prepared is to know what types of disasters could happen to you and then to decide which ones could truly happen to you. A good way to get those ideas is to grab a notebook and make a list! Once you have that list in front of you, preparing is easy because you are focused on a specific event rather than just the vague concept of preparedness. Let’s take a look at the range of disasters for you to consider.
Personal disasters – These include things like losing your job, getting told that your hours are being cut, getting injured on work and going on disability , having a change in your family 
Natural disasters – These can include any of the following events: hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, forest fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, crippling ice/ snow storm, etc.
Extreme weather events – These events include both mega storms like Hurricane Sandy as well as long term weather events – like extreme drought that brings on really severe water restrictions and affects food crops/ prices as farmland wilts.
 Nuclear events –  From the reactor disaster in Japan recently to the possibility of a rogue nation launching a nuclear weapon, possible EMP attacks, dirty bombs, etc., the idea of a nuclear event is again on peoples minds.
 Terrorist attacks – These can happen anywhere as their purpose is to instill terror. If terrorism grows, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the targets change from high value ones like NYC to anyplace they can cause a terror event where a large number of people congregate – shopping, sporting events, schools, etc. – just to spread the idea of fear and lack of safety no matter where you live.
Biological events – Whether natural or man made, the is always a chance of an epidemic or pandemic occurring. A particular virulent flu variant or a manufactured biological weapon are both very real possibilities.
Economic collapse –  Will it cause hyperinflation, wiping out your savings overnight? Will it cause the stock market to crash, wiping out your 401K? A bank run? Supply shortages as no one wants to trade with us because of the instability of our currency? Runaway fuel prices? You get the idea.
 Collapse of civilization – This is the mega event that could be caused by a new world war or massive natural event like a super volcanic eruption or large asteroid impact event. As you can see, there are many types of events that could potentially affect your future. By taking a look at the list, you can decide which are likely and make definite preparedness plans for them.
Other events that we see as more remote but possible include an economic collapse on a larger scale, a long term drought (which happens fairly frequently here – but never super severe), and a potential nuclear event as there are nuclear reactors within 100 miles and if they ever get damaged and the wind blows the right way… it would not be optimal.
So for us, we are fully prepared income interruptions by having a secure (and fully rotated) food and water supply to last the duration. We also have an emergency cash reserve to make sure we can make up any shortfalls for a long period of time.
Make your own list of events that you believe could impact your lives. Then prioritize them in terms of duration. Once you have them prioritized, figure out what you would need to survive the shortest duration event and then gather that set of supplies. Once you feel you are prepared for this event, you can start working on longer term preparedness.
Preparedness is a process and a journey that is best started by taking baby steps. Develop that small preparedness plan and then execute it. Then build on that for the next level of preparedness, etc. and soon you will be able to make it to the far side of just about any disaster than can hit your family.
