Emergency Preparedness - Family Survival Course

Economic and Natural Disaster - Are You Prepared?

Most Americans face different challenges on a daily basis. Many people are called upon to face the challenge of surviving an economic or life threatening crisis on any given day. Being prepared can mean the difference between your survival or your death. Most have NO PLAN on emergency preparedness and are not "prepper minded".   Surveys reported on various news agencies determined that most, over 90 percent, of Americans are ill prepared financially and are without an emergency preparedness plan or the proper stocked supplies necessary to survive a crisis time window.   What makes the difference between success and failure during a crisis? Why do some succeed where others fail? How does someone wind up in the group that will succeed and survive? Having a plan, a course of action, is your best bet.

Family Survival Course

Having a guide, a road map to help you, is a primary factor in being prepared to execute all the necessary steps to survive and potentially thrive in trying times. It's easy once you learn and apply each of the steps before you begin. It starts with a mindset.  A plan. Then action.

Again, being prepared can mean the difference between your survival or your death. Are you willing to put together an emergency preparedness plan and follow it?  If you're serious, then you will want to understand what is important and what is a waste of time. Simply put, you should improve your knowledge first, then build your plan.  The Family Survival Course is the best plan of action out there.  I'm writing this article because of the impact this course has had on my life.  It has literally changed my life, how I think, and how I'm preparing for the inevitable economic crisis on the very near horizon.  Watch this life changing video, and if it isn't for you, don't proceed with it.  It's not for everybody.  It's for the planners, the pro-actives, parents with young families to protect who are prepper-minded.  And for some, who aren't news savvy, and aren't up to date with what's going on in our economy, our Congress, and the future of the U.S. dollar, this will be a life changing WAKE UP CALL.   The Family Survival Course, it changed my life, how I'm moving forward.   

For those who choose not to go with the Family Survival Course, I've listed below five helpful steps that you can implement in your life to increase your likelihood of succeeding during a crisis:

1. Take an inventory of your current food supply. Why do you need to do that? You need enough food to sustain you and your family for up to 6 months. The average person consumes roughly 2,000 calories per day. That is a safe target to shoot for. Any more and you are just wasting time and money.  Wise Company Food Kits are a good source for food supply (search this on Amazon).  You will need to supplement this food with multi-vitamins and mineral supplements, if you're in a long term scenario.

2. Make sure you have enough water or a source for water to provide at least a gallon per day to each family member. You need water to survive. You cannot survive without clean, purified water for more than 3 days. Good hygiene is also important to stay healthy, so additional water for cleansing needs to be added.

3. Alternative power sources. The reason behind this is you will need to power some lights, a cell phone and maybe a space heater. You may be without power for a long time. Keeping some sort of power capability is important. One more reason why this is advisable is if you are in a cold part of the country, staying warm will be essential for your survival.  Portable generators for more demanding power sources, and solar powered back up battery and chargers are good for cell phones, iPods and most USB powered devices.  

4. Have an alternative cooking source. You will want to be able to cook your food and boil water to cook and disinfect it. If you are storing freeze dried or dehydrated foods you will need to be able to boil water to clean it.

5. Have alternative shelter. Your home may be unlivable or unsafe to stay in. Angry mobs could potentially be going home to home looking for food and supplies. Having an alternative shelter in the mountains like land or a bunker may provide you this safe haven.  

To generate the best results with your emergency preparedness plan, you need to think of all possibilities, look at the resources you have to work with and put together a plan that is customized for you and your family.  The Family Survival Course can walk you through this, and prepare you for any future crisis.  Again, this course has changed my life, and I have more confidence now that I have a plan for my family.
