Disasters assault you at the most unexpected moments. They arrive without warning, leave the victims comfortless and lives shattered. There is no second chance in the midst of disaster, just total devastation.

Whether it is death, divorce, illness, fires, or acts of terrorism, the agony that is cause has a common aspect. It hurts!! So how do we survive so much pain?

In the initial stages you are overpowered by the anesthetizing state of shock and utter disbelief, where the fullness of the reality is unable to register. This is the body’s way of coping. If the fullness hit home immediately, no one would survive!

Then comes the roller coaster ride of a concoction of disbelief, anger, guilt and a whole range of sentiments, which has your world spiraling like a runaway jet.

This is the time you need you need to give yourself some small breathing space to attend to your wounds and wait for a small ray of the healing process to commence, through an unhindered expression of your grief. For even though you don’t believe it now, over time you will heal. The fact is life will continue and you will have no choice but to keep on going for where there is life there is hope. Yes, you may have lost an entire way of life, a loved one, or good friends, but you are still living. Your heart is still pumping and your body demands you take care of it.

Time and again disasters have proven to be periods of opportunity. Opportunity that shows up the community spirit, as has been seen by the response to the catastrophic bush fires that have desolated the southern part of Australia. Opportunities for the humblest individual in society to become a champion. Opportunities for people to extend a helping hand to others they have never even met. Opportunities to reveal a true expression of empathy towards the sufferers. Opportunities to let others reach out to you. Being of use to others is often the best and most healing road you can choose, even if it is only in the way of giving a comforting shoulder for someone to cry on.

It is often in times of disasters, you come face to face with your fears, in living three-d. Fears that plague you in the still small hours of the morning, when life is at its lowest point. Nightmares that are finally brought out into the open. However, you will usually find the reality easier to cope with that the haunting fears of \”What if..?\’\’

Disasters bring you to the realization that life is unpredictable and you are forced to deal with situations you did not anticipate. Disasters that turn you into refugees. People who must fashion a different way of life. People who know what it is to lose everything. No matter what you feel like, you simply can’t lie down and die when disaster disintegrates your life.

It is not an option to sit and indulge in a self-pity party. Feeling sorry for yourself hurts only you. Disasters are the time when you need to reach deep inside yourself, to reveal strengths you never imagined you had.

The key to surviving is that you have to become a realist and an optimist at the same time, as life-destroying circumstances change you forever. You will come out the other side a different person.

Disaster divides your life into before and after the tragedy. You will never look at even the simple things of life in the same way. Yet, the end of one thing is always the beginning of another, for it has been proven that human nature will rise, just as out of the ashes the phantom phoenix rises anew.

How then are you to live through the grief of disaster? You look back and learn the lessons from the past, but more importantly you look forward and take one small step. The tallest mountains in the world were conquered one tiny step at a time. You can do it too. You can take the next step, no matter how painful. Let the future and the big things take care of themselves. Just make the decision to survive through today.

From time to time we hear of catastrophic events and disasters in far away places, but the news gets more and more unsettling the closer these tragedies get in proximity to where we live, as well as their increasing frequency. We operate on a daily basis mostly without worry of any major changes in our living quarters or environment. It would in fact be counterproductive to become unnecessarily preoccupied with a pessimistic view of the future possibilities of disaster. By the same token, it is a big risk not making any advance preparation.

In this modern era our survival is weighted most heavily toward how we fare in the workplace and our propensity to bring home an adequate paycheck. We rely on society’s highly interdependent, evolved system of specialization. Drawing upon each of the various components as needed brings us enhanced utility with added convenience to boot.

As opposed to earlier civilizations, we exchange for and gather from an ever-increasing base of available goods and services that have the deceptive appearance of being infinite in supply. The modern term for participation and pursuit of the self-production and construction of necessities for life (food, clothing, and shelter) is “hobby.”

When disaster strikes, you have nobody to rely on but yourself, and your survival is no longer considered to be a “hobby.” Your forethought, preparation, and careful planning will dramatically increase your chances for survival. You will be thankful for your own advance consideration of a variety of possible future disasters. This may even include things such as unemployment or underemployment.

There is zero doubt that the time are changing. With recent hurricanes, economic meltdown, and Mr. Dick Bin Laden still on the loose, natural or man made disasters are now more a part of our lives than ever. You only need to watch FoxNews or CNN for an hour or two to become a little frightened about the possibility of the sky falling on our heads at anytime. There are so many (or too many) cogs in the wheels of our economic system that allow any minor disturbance to have a seriously detrimental affect on the supply chain of goods to our local grocery stores.

I have recently been reading many, many web sites and blogs that deal with hurricane survival, disaster survival, and survival preparedness. One aspect of preparing for a prolonged survival situation that has been commonly overlooked is how to deal with family, friends, and neighbors that have NOT prepared for the worst case scenario after the turd hits the fan. Remember, YOU were smart and prepared for a disaster with a comprehensive survival kit with a 3 months supply of food and water, maybe a gun or two, and a few must have luxury items because you realize that you just can’t rely on anyone but yourself when things get ugly (i.e. Hurricane Katrina).

This is where I would like to propose a few hypothetical questions.

While your next door neighbor went on a fancy and expensive vacation to Europe and didn’t heed the warning to prepare, would you share your survival rations?

Your best friend just purchased a new Corvette and is more worried about rims and tires than preparing a survival kit, would you share your survival supplies?

Your sister didn’t even stash a can of corn in her cupboards, but she knows you did because you have been telling her since before Y2K that you have been preparing for a disaster, would you share your gear?

A pack of hungry, desperate, and angry fellow citizens decide that your supplies are now theirs, would you defend your supplies by all means necessary?

We have been extremely fortunate in our lifetime to not have experienced a great shortage of basic staple goods and empty grocery shelves. But, we have never as a country faced the economic quicksand that we are drowning in today. Oh yeah, don’t forget Mother Nature, because she is the one that is really in charge. I’m still trying to define my answers to the questions proposed above, but it is worth a moment of time to consider both the questions and the potential answers.

If you are an educational professional and a crisis such as a fire, earthquake or tornado strikes, your instant consideration must be school survival.

Although the chances of such events occurring are extremely rare you must be educated and know what to do. Accordingly, below are 10 points you should be aware of which will keep your students safe during a disaster.

The tips below were based on a class of 30 kids. Be sure to adjust amounts given accordingly to fit your particular classroom.  It is wise to stock school survival equipment in an enclosed container or if able, a camping type toilet.  School survival supplies must be kept hidden in a safe place such as a janitor’s closet or teacher’s lounge.

1. Be sure that you are prepared with an adequate supply of food. You should keep at least four – 2400 calorie food bars for each child. This food should provide every person with enough energy to help them endure a classroom lockdown situation.  Be certain to purchase food bars that have a five year shelf duration. It is also a good idea to keep some sweets which can help the kids take their minds towards something enjoyable.

2. A sufficient, safe water reserve is vital, so be sure that each child has a water pouch in addition to water purification tablets in the event the rescue takes longer to arrive.

3. You will need a whistle of some type. Even though it is a very basic piece of equipment, it can save your life. If your classroom is cut off from the rest of the school, a mere signaling tool can get the attention of emergency personnel who are trying to locate your group.

4. Be sure to include a radio/flashlight and also a flashing light which could be used to alert assistance.  An emergency bright stick is an excellent example. The AM/FM tuner will provide a welcome distraction but it can keep you informed on directions and rescue information which could save your life.

5. You should always store plenty of sanitation supplies. Important things to store close-by include toilet tissue rolls and hygiene supplies. Also, keep chemical bags which can dispose of human waste. Making sure your safe area is disease and bacteria-free is incredibly important. You can see why it is a good idea to have a portable toilet which can also become a storage container.

6. For your hygiene needs, include some wet naps and a couple of small containers of hand sanitizer. A few air fresheners will not take up much room and will make life a little more bearable in these conditions.

7. A wilderness first aid kit is a must-have and will come in handy during a disaster if you get the best one.  It must be large enough for all of your children.

8. The AM/FM radio was brought up before as an entertainment device but I would also advise including a couple of packs of playing cards and games for children. It is much better if everyone is kept occupied instead of worrying about the negative.

9. Be sure that there are at least 2 people awake at all times to hear emergency workers who are attempting to make contact or for other signs.

10. As the teacher, school survival depends a great deal on how you react, so remain composed under all circumstances and this model will calm your class.

School survival bags are vital to have available at all times.  Being equipped as a teacher or school administrator is the main factor in safeguarding the lives of the ones we love the most.

Emergency preparedness is a noble endeavor, one that every individual should be engaged in. But, in order to make it an efficient pursuit, it shouldn’t be performed haphazardly. Many people start out with good intentions, but are misguided in their preparedness and food storage activities. They have a great goal in mind (i.e., being ready for the worst should a disaster or emergency occur), but there is no method to their madness. After they have randomly accumulated some of the necessities for any possible perceived threats, they are not then sure if they have all they need, and if they have allocated their resources properly. Of course almost anything is better than nothing, but there should be some prioritization beginning with preparation for a short-term disaster survival scenario all the way through to a “doomsday” predicament. Not everything can be prepared for because it is impossible to accurately predict the future, but it is certainly better to be over- than under prepared, and the best approach is to build a rock-solid emergency preparedness foundation and add to it in the proper sequence.

The proposed sequence is as follows: the first thing that everyone should store in case of emergency is a 72 hour emergency kit. A 72 hour emergency kit is an easy-to-carry and easily accessible package that contains items such as three days of water (most important) and non-perishable food items (preferably ready-to-eat goods), personal toiletry/hygiene items, first aid kit and medications, flashlight and batteries, blankets and sleeping bag, a radio, pocket knife, etc. 72 hours is the time frame that it will likely take to restore the usual services that are interrupted after a major disaster. You should plan on being self-sufficient for at least these three days.

The next level up in the readiness pyramid is a three-month supply of food storage that would include items that you ordinarily eat and can be rotated easily, eliminating any waste. These are such things as canned goods that fit easily into your food pantry or an extra closet, as well as frozen foods (meat, preserves, and vegetables).

MRE’s (meals ready-to-eat), freeze-dried foods, and dehydrated foods are the next step up in prioritization. These food storage items store for long periods of time in a climate-controlled environment, usually between 10 to 30 plus years.

Dry-pack storage items such as wheat, white rice, and beans move us even further up the readiness pyramid. These items are very nutrient dense, and take more work to prepare meals with, but are extremely versatile and can be included in too many recipes to count. They are very good staples for your diet. Other dry-pack items include powdered milk, powdered eggs and powdered butter, bullion (chicken and beef), flour, pasta noodles, etc.

After having considered food preparation adequately, it is time to move up the readiness pyramid to the level containing extra clothing and footwear. Remember you must consider the climate in which you live and the change (or not) in seasons. If you live in a region that has harsh winters, be certain to have adequate coats, sweaters, thermal underwear, warm clothing, gloves, boots, and blankets.

The next level up the pyramid is firearms and ammunition. First and foremost these serve as tools for killing game animals for meat should this become necessary. Secondly, these may serve as protection in the event of a disorderly societal breakdown (rioting, looting, etc.) where you may need to protect your family from harm.

Camping equipment basics such as tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, camping stoves/Dutch ovens, fishing pole and tackle, a Leatherman, matches, a lantern, and porta-potties will all make you much more confident in your abilities to survive in the outdoors if you need to move even further up the readiness pyramid, and have to evacuate your home for whatever reason for a period of time.

A person may survive indefinitely without a shower, but not comfortably. That is why this category of personal hygiene items is nearer the top of the readiness pyramid, but still very much a valid and useful part of it. The specific items you should include here are soap, shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste, a razor and shaving cream, deodorant, feminine napkins, and diapers.

Finally, once you have completed your collection of each of the preceding layers and levels (and not before), top off the readiness pyramid with an emergency fund. This should cover as much as three to six months of living expenses, and then be supplemented with gold and especially silver (poor man’s gold) bullion.

A disaster can strike in seconds sometimes with no warning what so ever and leave whole communities without power, running water or even shelter. You must be prepared to survive. The best way to prepare yourself is to have the necessary equipment and supplies to ensure you and your family are provided with the necessities of life.

Survival equipment is really a form of life insurance. You never know when a disaster will strike and you need to be prepared before not after such an event. You should also try to ensure your neighbors; family and friends are prepared with their own survival gear otherwise be prepared to share yours. If others won’t take their survival needs seriously then buy them kits for Christmas, birthdays and even wedding presents.

Your survival kit should contain at the very least matches, fish hooks, fishing line, a string saw, a small knife, bouillon cube type

dehydrated soup stock, sugar, salt, antibiotics, antiseptics, aspirin, bandages, aluminum foil, a magnetic compass, a small mirror, a magnifying glass, and antihistamine. In a larger kit, you will need food and fresh water to survive at least for two weeks. Avoid foods that have to be cooked unless you have a portable cooker or barbecue.

In the case of floods or earthquakes your home may be destroyed or unsafe to live in so you will need shelter and warmth. Waterproof backpacking tarps can be tied to trees with rope and used as a shelter. For clothing, remember that wool insulates when wet and comfortable waterproof footwear is worth its weight in gold.

You need to know how to use your survival equipment, experience in the use of emergency survival gear will help you to choose what to include in your emergency survival gear kit. You should know some first aid basics and have a copy of a first aid manual.

As well as knowing how to use your survival gear everyone in your house must know where it is. You should keep an inventory along with use by dates and replace items as they become aged or pass their use by date. Store and record the date on items to indicate when it should be replaced or buy extra food when you can and rotate items.

You need to take a survival kit everywhere you go. In your car you should have a portable kit that contains some high energy foods, Sports bars, hard candy, MREs (meals, ready to eat), tropical chocolate bars, beef jerky, and nuts all work well. Basic first aid items, a flashlight and spare batteries as well as a map of the area. A couple bottles of fresh drinking water are must have items.

In some countries it is law to have a survival kit. Even in those countries where it isn’t you still need to be prepared. A good

survival kit will only set you back a few hundred dollars and this is a cost you’ll be happy you paid if one day that disaster strikes and you kit saves the life of a loved family member.

Learning to survive doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. In fact it can be an interesting family activity that all can participate in.

Even very young members of the family need to be survival aware because if anything happens to their caregivers they may be left to fend for themselves. Don’t leave it till its too late get prepared to survive now.

Being prepared for disaster survival is easier than many people think. If you can prepare for possible emergencies or disasters ahead of time you can eliminate or minimize any impact on your life. You can live in any state or country and you will have something that could impact you so there is no excuse for not being prepared.

Think about what your local disaster potential could be. Maybe it’s hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, flooding, blizzards or even a chemical plant explosion. There are numerous things that can go wrong or happen. You would be benefiting you and your family by coming up with a plan you can implement and putting aside extra supplies to get you by in case something does happen.

Do you worry about being called a prepper or survivalist and are holding back on putting stuff away for emergencies? Do not let that stop you; you will be the one that is squared away while they are waiting for FEMA to come to the rescue. Being prepared has been gaining in acceptance over the last few years so it is now more common place. It does not matter if you live out in the country or an apartment in a city, you can prepare for emergencies.

If you are not sure how to go about preparing you can research online and will find a multitude of information. Find a site that appeals to you and learn all you can. It does not have to be expensive buying extra food and water, a little every week or so will add up. As you add more, organize it so it is out of the way yet easily accessible to you.

Importance

Water should be one of your top priorities in a survival situation as a lack of water causes dehydration, lethargy, dizziness, headaches, confusion, and ultimately death.  Even mild dehydration makes a survival situation even more difficult as it reduces endurance and impairs concentration.

Water is essential to life as more than 75% of your body is composed of fluids.

Water -
- supplies oxygen and nutrients to the cells
- helps rid the body of wastes
- serves as a natural air conditioning system
- is necessary for the digestion and absorption of food
- helps maintain proper muscle tone

Requirements
Given normal conditions (at sea level, room temperature, and favorable humidity) the longest you can survive without water intake is 3 days. Your body loses fluid as a result of heat, stress, cold, and/or exertion and this water must be replaced to maintain life.
You need an absolute minimum of 2 liters a day to maintain efficient life as we lose 2-3 liters per day under normal conditions. With colder or warmer temperatures or with exercise, intake need increases. These extra factors may push the requirement to 1-2 gallons or more per day per person.

When thinking about water in a survival environment, there are three important areas that need to be thought about and prepared for – Obtaining, Cleaning, and Storing.

Obtaining/Finding
In my survival e-book I recommend that you keep at least 5 gallons per person in your home. Go buy it at your local grocery store and stick it in a closet. Easy.  You might need that water for drinking as well as cooking and hygiene should a situation arise where your city/county water supply is disrupted.

If the disruption lasts longer than your stocked up supply does, you will obviously still need to obtain water.
A little water will be stored in your pipes and your hot water heater. Once that is exhausted it will be time to go outside. I am not a wilderness survival expert, but here are some basic ideas should the need for water procurement last indefinitely:

- have a map and know location of streams or other bodies of water and figure out where it would be possible to fill a container at the given source
- create a system for collecting rain water/dew – can be as easy as setting up a series of trashbags where water can gather
- when looking for a source of water outside remember that in general you can go downhill to find water

Cleaning (Purifying and Filtering)
Just having water is not enough, it must be potable (clean and drinkable). Only 1% of the earth’s water is available as a source of drinking in its current state.

Do you know how to purify water? If not, pick up some materials that can help you. You never know when having the ability to clean your water might make the difference between surviving and not.

Boiling Water
Boiling water can be great for cleaning water gathered from natural sources. It is good because it will remove common bacteria. It is important to note that it will not remove foreign contaminants like radiation or heavy metals. A major limitation of boiling is that it requires energy. It a situation where energy is scarce, boiling may not be the easiest option.
In most places most of the time drinking rain water, dew, or clean melted snow without treatment is OK to do. An exception is when it has not rained/snowed for a long time as that water is bringing down all the bad stuff out of the air with it.

Water Filters/Purifiers
Considering that I am mostly talking about at home survival, I consider water filters more important than purifiers. Purifiers come in handy more in wilderness survival situations.
Filters are quick, can process a significant amount of water, and will also clean water. Purifiers often just kill the bad guys in the water.
Purifiers do have the advantage of being compact and easily carried. If you do plan on using purifying, chlorine is commonly suggested as a way to treat water in an emergency. Household chlorine bleach can do the trick in a jiffy.

If you pick up a couple of water cleaning products, you will not need to worry about about being able to clean your water. However, if it comes down to it, drink unpurified water because dehydration and its negative effects are guaranteed.

Storing
With all this water you have found and cleaned, you need to be able to store it.

When you are buying your minimum 5 gallons per person of water, consider commercial gallon bottles as they are cheap, easy to store, and last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.  Tap water or purified bottle water is generally good for 6 months to a year if kept away from light. Note: When storing tap water do not use old milk jugs, instead use bottles that water or soda came in.  Prepackaged water can last for several years.

If you see the storm/disaster situation coming and need larger short term storage you can:
- double up a trash bag and fill up
- fill up your bathtub – probably not drinking quality water without purification or filtering, but can be used for all other water needs
- fill up a survival-ready water container

Remember that water is heavy should you need to move it. Water weights about 2 pounds per quart or 8 pounds per gallon.

FYI
Again, this information is mainly based for home survival, but just in case – never drink sea water! It takes twice as much water to process it as you get from it so it will simply speed up the dehydration process.
Never drink urine even if filtered.
If you have little to no water, do not eat unless you have food that has a high water content like certain fruits or vegetables. It seems weird, but digestion requires water and you can go longer without food than water. An easy rule to follow is that you should not eat unless you have 2 quarts available for drinking.

There you go. You now have the knowledge. Start preparing today to have enough water no matter what is thrown at you.
