Thoughts On Disaster Survival Thoughts On Disaster Survival, by Mel in Texas I live in Texas so this is on my mind. But could be relative to anything... Thoughts On Disaster Survival 1. Have a bug-out kit ready at all times. 2. Renew supplies in your bug-out kit on a regular basis. 3. Plan on needing a LOT more supplies than you think. 4. In a real emergency, forget about last-minute purchases. 5. Make sure your vehicle will carry your essential supplies. 6. A big bug-out vehicle can be a handicap. 7. Make sure you have a bug-out place handy. 8. Provide entertainment for younger children. 9. Pack essentials first, then luxuries. 10. Don't plan on fuel being available en route. 11. Have enough money with you for at least two weeks. 12. Don't be sure that a disaster will be short-term. 13. Don't rely on government-run shelters if at all possible. 14. Warn your friends not to bring others with them!!! 15. Have account numbers, contact addresses and telephone numbers for all important persons and institutions. 16. Have portable weapons and ammo ready (close at hand.) Update 1 1. Route selection is very, very important. 2. The social implications of a disaster situation. (not �politically correct�, but dismiss at your peril) 3. Implications for security. 4. �Too many chiefs, not enough Indians" in New Orleans. 5. Long-term vision. 6. Personal emergency planning. 7. The "bank problem.� If yours is a local bank and all are under water, for example, checks are unverifiable (read: worthless) 8. Helping one's friends is likely to prove expensive. Update 2 1. People who were prepared were frequently mobbed/threatened by those who weren't. 2. When help gets there, you may get it whether you like it or not. 3. There seems to be a cumulative psychological effect upon survivors. 4. There is widespread frustration over the lack of communication and empathy by rescuers and local/State government. 5. Expect rescuers (including law enforcement) to enforce a distinctly un-Constitutional authority in a disaster situation. 6. Don't believe that rescuers are all knights in shining armor who will respect your property. Update 3 1. If you choose to help, you may be sucked into a bureaucratic and legal nightmare. 2. Law enforcement problems will often be "glossed over" and/or ignored by authorities. 3. Your personal and/or corporate supplies and facilities may be commandeered without warning, receipt or compensation. 4. If you look like you know what you're doing, you may be a target of those less prepared. (*IMPORTANT!*) 5. Those who thought themselves safe from the disaster were often not safe from refugees. 6. Self-reliance seems to draw suspicion upon you from the authorities. 7. Relief workers from other regions and States often don't know local laws. 8. Relief organizations have their own bureaucratic requirements that may conflict with your needs. Linky

Book, If someone has a vehicle mounted weapon, I wanna go with them. Short of perhaps an artillery piece? Exactly what is this person trying to say? Just curious.

Be where you are going and stay HIDDEN! That solves most of the problems, but remember the three Ss. If you have to ask, you are not prepared. Ask someone face to face, never on the net, wireless or landline! Got it!
