Preparedness

Be prepared and live fully

Do not wait till it is a matter of sink or swim!

A little preparation may be worth your while, if not your life.

A Few Words On Preparedness

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no
survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to
survival.
- C.S.Lewis

Preparedness is not survival. Survival is already happening. You have survived or continued to live until today. You have done so probably within an infrastructure of your society.

When I talk about preparedness then, I refer to the preparation necessary to retain one's ability to live, where one's infrastructure, one's normal support system brakes down.

Often, when I talk to people, they have an idea of how this support system may fail. For example, they may think that an earthquake might come. They may have an idea how to handle the first 72 hours after such an event by preparing somewhat for this. This is not good preparedness in my view. What if a flood comes instead?

Good preparation is an ongoing process of refining an alternative support system that accomodates multiple varying scenarios and includes contingency- and backup planning. To this end I will present material here for you and your loved ones.

Furthermore, two people can do more than one, and a prepared group of individuals can really help each member out in the event of some disaster, and actually even during normal living. Thus, if you are interested to learn with me and become part of a group of prepared friends, please e-mail me, and I will get back to you when I am ready to form a team of helpers.

I hope, you will find this page helpful. Your kind comments and questions are welcome.
