When It’s Time To Sustain Yourself
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008
Any day now, there’s going to be a really big earthquake in California. There will also be floods in Mississippi, tornadoes in Kansas, tsunamis in Alaska and volcanoes in Hawaii. Any day now there may also be (at least since 2001) explosions in public places, biological and/or chemical threats, and maybe even a nuclear blast.
Are you ready?: “Are You Ready” is the title of a 206 page guide prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Although it is generally published in book form, www.ready.gov contains PDF versions of this particular survival guide and more. The site offers information for just about everyone, including pets. Indeed, the “likelihood that you and your animals will survive an emergency such as a fire or flood, tornado or terrorist attach depends largely on emergency planning done today.” (more…)
