How Well Are you Prepared In Case of Immediate Disaster?
First of all I have what I call my survival room. Besides all the usual home canned food in my pantry, I keep food on hand in that room. Canned meat, fish, vegetables and potatoes, carrots and onions stored in a cool place. I keep a Coleman camp stove and a few canisters of propane on hand. Kerosene lamps are always ready, just in case the batteries go dead in the flashlights.
Drinking water is kept in 5-gallon water containers. I also keep on hand a good supply of colloidal silver just in case I need to purify the water. Colloidal silver can be used to de-contaminate vegetables as well. It also serves a an antibiotic. I make my own, fresh every week.
A kerosene heater will be used if the electricity goes out. Also there is a wood stove in the sauna that would serve the purpose of heating and cooking. It has been done before. Sleeping bags and quilts are in the closet ready at a moments notice. I keep powdered milk in large container in case the emergency is long term. I change the water once a month to keep it fresh for drinking. The propane and kerosene supply is always stocked.
Nowadays a person has to be prepared for most anything. My family could survive with what we have on hand for a good four to five months without going to a store. I stock up on coffee, sugar, flour, wheat berries, canned milk and dry milk. If someone takes medicine they should try to keep a 90-day supply. Gasoline for the generator is also necessary, if you have a generator.
These are just a few of the steps I have been keeping in place for years. I am sure you can come up with more. It depends on your lifestyle and what is truly important.
