Hurricane Preparedness and Evacuation Tips

If you live in an area where there is a possibility of a hurricane coming onshore you need to know how to prepare for these storms. Unlike a tornado, these storms have enough warning time for the citizens in their path to prepare. The following tips will help you to prepare your family for the stormy days ahead.

Prepare an Evacuation Plan

The number one thing that you need to do before a hurricane strikes is have an evacuation plan ready. These plans are best made when there is not a storm threatening you.

• Plan where you will go in the event that the storm comes inland in your area.

• Decide who will be driving the vehicles that you are taking

• Decide which family members will be riding in which vehicles

• Make plans for carrying your pets with you

• Have emergency rations packed. Make one person responsible for packing the emergency rations in the vehicles.

• Have a check-list of things that need to be done before you evacuate so you can make sure you have everything you need

Packing Emergency Rations in Advance

It is a good idea that you keep a container packed with the emergency rations you would need during an evacuation. Pack these items in a container that is waterproof and has a good lid. Keep them in one place in the house and make sure everyone knows where they are located. Assign the job of placing these rations into the vehicle to one family member. Practice what you would do if ordered to evacuate so the person in charge of these rations can be familiar with their responsibility.

Things to pack in the box:

• A flashlight and batteries for the flashlight

• Enough water for everyone that will be evacuating to have drinking water for at least three days

• Non perishable food products. Pack enough for each person to have adequate food rations for three days

• Blankets and pillows

• Food for your pet

• At least three changes of clothing for each person

• Non prescription first aid medications like aspiring, Tylenol, allergy medications, bandages for minor cuts, antibiotic ointment, teething gel for infants, etc.

• Prescription medications for each person. The pharmacy will generally refill your prescriptions even if it is not time when a storm like this is threatening your area.

• Emergency cash

• Toiletries like shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, and feminine hygiene products.

• Your important documents like passports, deeds to land, titles to vehicles, birth certificates and professional licenses.

Strategic Relocation--Move To A Safer Place This Year!!

This is a book that we all need. A great resource for finding the perfect and safest place to move our families too. Over 400 pages full of usefull info.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION :
This is the long-awaited update of Mr. Skousen's classic book on relocation for security. Nearly 3/4 of this 3rd Edition is rewritten and it is expanded to 400 pages. In the process, the authors created all new graphics, charts and tables. There is also a new section on international retreat potential and 200 additional pages of analysis on every state and province of the US and Candada, complete with color maps.
The maps are chock full of detail, including private and public land use, satellite terrain features, military target areas, roads and graphic depictions of population density---one of our major threats to security in a crisis.

Despite the ongoing illusions of peace and prosperity, our world is getting less stable, not more. The economic foundations of the US and the world are all based on fiat money and are crumbling. Earthquakes, Hurricanes, War and terrorism are ever present threats, and the secondary effects of social unrest in large metropolitan areas will be disruptive and dangerous if there is a shortage of essential commodities that cause people to panic.

When you relocate or retire your prime concern should be long-term security, not recreation. Sometimes you can have both. This book is designed to help you relocate around serious threats and to develop contingency plans when you can't relocate due to work or family ties.

Strategic Relocation is more than just pointing out safe areas--simply because the safer the area, the harder it is, generally, to make a living and have access to the conveniences of life. For these reasons, relocation decisions are fairly complex, and Mr. Skousen walks you through all of the difficult choices and compromises that are inevitable in finding safety, without being totally isolated. This book has answers for nearly every situation.
Click here for the new Strategic Relocation DVDThe world is getting increasingly unstable. Debt levels are unsustainable, world financial markets are calling for constant bailouts, and the US is continuing to antagonize the Middle East with military intervention. Any number of these crises can lead to a break down in the social order of the high density urban areas of the United States. Could you survive without public utilities or supermarkets through a winter? Are there enough people around you that are prepared to band together and help one another during social unrest? More and more people are reevaluating their living arrangements to be prepared for prolonged disasters. But what if you have to stay in a big city for work? Have you developed some contingency plans? Are you located in a part of the city that will allow escape through the rural byways? Have you made a transportation plan? And, what can be done to secure your home now in case you can't get out in a crisis? Strategic Relocation has the answers. Alex Jones, founder of alternative new networks Infowars and Prison Planet, presents a full-length documentary/presentation with Joel Skousen, author of Strategic Relocation, North American Guide to Safe Places and The Secure Home, to discuss the long-term power threats facing Americans and how to relocate for safety and security. Joel and Alex examine the information within Strategic Relocation including the effects of natural disasters, nuclear war, long-term power failures, large-scale social unrest and police state tyranny. They consider the pros and cons of countries around the world but give particular emphasis to the state and provinces in the US and Canada. Joel also describes cost-effective ways of securing a residence to protect yourself and your preparations. Whether you are looking to expatriate off-shore or build a dream house away from the serious threats facing us, you'll find answers in this fact-filled interview and companion to the wide-selling book, Strategic Relocation.

Cooking Without Power


So you've stocked up on all the food you'll need after the end of the world as we know it. You've got wheat, flour, dried foods, canned foods, all kinds of food. But if the worst case scenario happens, will you still have power? There might be power in some areas, but always assume there won't be where you are. And if there isn't, how are you going to cook all that food?

In this modern age of TV dinners, frozen pizzas, canned soups and Hamburger Helper, many people never learned how to cook a meal the old-fashioned way. The majority of city-dwellers are dependent on microwaves, electric stoves, and toasters. But what will they do if the power goes out for an extended period? There are several options:

Grill. This is the first and most obvious option. Hopefully you've stocked up on plenty of coal and/or propane. But if you don't have a grill or are out of coal and propane...

Camping Stove. Acquiring one of these should be a top priority. Coleman makes a great 2 burner stove that you can find on amazon.com. These, too, should always be used outdoors. Make sure you have plenty of Coleman fuel!

Fireplace. Try roasting hot dogs and other solid foods on sticks in your fireplace. You can also wrap potatoes and other vegetables in foil and leave them in the fireplace to cook.

Campfire. Who doesn't love cooking over a campfire? But you don't want to just roast hot dogs and marshmallows. With a good camp grill you'll be able to cook just about anything.

Dutch Oven. This is a cast iron pot that you hang over a fire. It's ideal for making soups, stews, and hot drinks. A 4-quart Dutch oven is less than $50. To hang it over the fire, you'll need a fireplace crane or a campfire tripod.

Sterno stove. These are good for heating up drinks, canned foods such as chili, Spaghettios and soup. The best thing about them is they're portable, weighing less than a pound. I would get a good Sterno stove kit and some extra canned heat. Tip: Try putting your Sterno stove in a fire pit with a few handfuls of charcoal. This way you can grill while using very little charcoal.

Kerosene heater. These are usually used for heating rooms, but are also a great way to boil beans, pasta and other foods or make hot drinks. If the top is flat, just set a pot of water on top. A good kerosene heater can cost over $100, but it's a great thing to add to your survival supplies, especially if you live in a cold climate.

A few warnings:

Grills should always be used outdoors and a safe distance from your home or shelter. The carbon monoxide can be deadly and a few stray sparks is all it takes to start a fire. Same goes for camp stoves.

If you use a fireplace, make sure the flue is open and unobstructed. Don't use treated wood for a cooking fire.

Never use gasoline to get a fire going.

Make sure fires are controlled with metal or rocks surrounding them.

Never leave a fire (not even a candle) without an adult to keep an eye on it.

Happy cooking!

Top 3 Benefits of Living Off the Grid

First let us find out what "off the grid" living means. Living off the grid simply means removing all dependency on fossil fuel and turning to cleaner sources of energy. We are all aware of what is happening to our environment. The effects of global warming can now be felt all over the world. Extreme catastrophes are now being attributed to global warming and other environmental deterioration that we are experiencing right now. Tsunamis, earthquakes, typhoons and hurricanes according to experts have been more frequent and more devastating these past decades than ever before. Governments all over the world have been exerting efforts to keep everyone informed through their own Climate Change Committee.

Today, there are people who have recognized the bad effects of global warming and have already chosen not just to sit around and listen but to do something as well. These people have already chosen to live off the grid. No fossil fuels. No electricity from independent power sources or even water supplied in their homes using artificial electric sources. What they use are power generated from renewable energy. Renewable energy is energy generated from clean sources like sun, water and wind. Sounds difficult? Not at all! You may think it but the truth is there are actually a lot of benefits that can be derived from living off the grid.

The Environment is safer

By choosing to change from fossil fuel to renewable energy you are contributing in making the environment a safer world to live in. Renewable energy like solar power and wind energy as well as hydro-power are all energy sources that can be harnessed naturally. There are no harmful by-products and you can continually use these energies without harming or polluting the environment.

Fossil fuel when used emit harmful by products that are thrown in different forms in the environment. When burned, fossil fuels emit harmful nitrates such as nitrogen oxide which returns to the earth creating acid rain and others. These byproducts are the reasons for global warming. Living off the grid, when learned and practiced my many others will have a huge impact on our environment. It might even stop global warming right off its track. Experts believe that with proper information campaign people will start to see this one great benefit of living off the grid.

Reduced To Zero Energy Expense

When you are just starting to live off the grid you may think you are spending more than by just staying on conventional power sources. But the truth is you are investing to something worthwhile, safer and cheaper in the long run. Buying solar panels or preparing your house to be totally dependent on hydro-power can be a bit expensive at first because of all the preparations you are going to do. But you will feel the benefits of not having monthly electric, water and gas bills after some time. What you will install will actually be used for a very long time.

You're Contribution And Influence To Others

There are now many people who have chosen to live off the grid. But they are not that many to have a huge impact on the environment. If you start living off the grid you will now have influence on your family, friends, relatives, acquaintances and many others. Because it is fairly new to us there are still a lot of misconceptions about living off the grid. But if you yourself will be an experts by actually getting into it then these people within your circle will already have somebody to actually teach them or tell them facts about living off the grid.

Living off the grid might be something new to us. It might sound even farfetched to be totally independent from fossil fuels. But we can see that it can be done and it is already being done by a considerable number of people today. This is something we can do for our environment. And as we can see the benefits of living off the grid are worth trying.
