When disaster strikes, do you have the skills to survive? Many people are unprepared when crises hit.
Learning key survival strategies now can save your life later. Here are a few suggestions:
- Focus first on securing clean water. Store a 30-day supply and have purification methods like filters and bleach. Locate natural sources as a backup.
- Stockpile non-perishable foods high in calories and nutrition. Canned goods, rice, beans, powdered milk, and freeze-dried meals are essentials.
- Get training and tools for self-defense. Know basic hand-to-hand combat. Keep weapons in a quick-access safe. Set up an alarm system. Secure doors and windows.
- Have a power plan. Store fuel for generators. Get solar-powered battery packs. Stockpile candles, flashlights, and batteries.
Of course, these are just the beginning when it comes to having a sound survival plan in place. And with the way things are going today, the last thing you want is to be left unprepared…
