No lens will let you look into the future and you can't rely on hunches to get you out of jam when something goes wrong.

I'll be running through all things preparedness here... plans, gear and products reviews, tips, and links to helpful agencies and resources for expanded information.

Fast Track Emeregency Preparedness 

Here are several tips to get you better prepared for emergencies and disasters

1. Start a family call tree
2. Keep a local and regional map in your car
3. Store important documents securely
4. Find two places to stay that are 50 miles away from home and three routes to each
5. Always think water and warmth when thinking about preparedness
6. Get an emergency weather radio for immediate notification of emergencies, including events that are not weather related
7. Give water a bit more thought
8. Store a bit of extra food, specialty food rations work great for storing in the trunk of your car (think hot/cold extremes)
9. Stop by cacheoutfitters.com and look into a family preparedness kit
10. Know your (toxic) neighbors, see justprepare.com for information on identifying local hazards
11. Register for CERT training in your area. The level of knowledge, commitment, and enthusiasm by good CERT instructors is amazing - take advantage if this
