To my familyyou are the reason I prepare.
Introduction
THERE IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY in our daily lives. After years of prosperity, the United States and much of the rest of the world entered the Great Recession in late 2008. Millions of American jobs were lost, and real estate prices tumbled like a house of cards. The ensuing foreclosures and bankruptcies continue to add to the ranks of the homeless.
Besides the financial crisis, on the daily news we witness natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires, as well as the man-made disasters of terrorism and war.
Like many people, I started getting the feeling of insecurity and unease on a daily basis. I felt worried about myself, my family, and the future. Yet I found myself at a loss as to what to do about it.
I needed to regain the feeling of security and hope, so I started to delve into the world of preparedness. I read government pamphlets and websites about emergency preparation and researched ways to survive. I found a lot of good information, but it was not always geared toward beginners like me, who live in the big city in apartments or small houses with no extra space, who must live within tight budgets, who do not have access to farmland or other faraway retreats, who have families and pets, and who hold full-time jobs and do not have a lot of extra free time.
As I read, I adapted what I learned to my individual situation. Now I know that I am not alone in my concerns by any means and that there are simple ways to prepare our homes and our families, one step at a time.
When we start feeling uncertain and insecure about our situation, we feel isolated and alone. We think our feelings are unique and no one would share our beliefs. To a certain extent, the majority of the population lives day-to-day without thought about what might happen should the system fail. Yet Ive found that a lot of like-minded individuals are also concerned about their families and do not want to rely on the government or the system in case of emergency, but they dont know where to start. I wrote this book to share information with those people.
Why Should We Prepare?
Most people have some form of insurance on their cars, health, homes, and lives. We pay premiums on a regular basis just in case something happens and we end up needing the coverage. No one hopes to get sick or have an accident, but we pay the fees anyway. In the same way, no one hopes for an emergency or disaster to happen, but we ought to prepare for one and in that way build a sense of security and control over our surroundings.
Myths about Preparing
There are several notions about preparing that turn out to be myths. The very mention of survival or preparedness can conjure negative mental images that have no basis in fact.
MYTH 1: Preparing Is Expensive Preparing does not need to cost a lot. You can start small and only purchase things within your budget. In fact, some preparations, such as food storage, can actually save you money.
MYTH 2: Preparing Takes Too Much Time Anything, including hobbies, surfing the web, or watching TV, can take too much time. Preparing is a worthwhile activity to which you can devote as much or as little time as you want. It all depends on your comfort level.
MYTH 3: You Need a Lot of Space for Storage Anyone can create storage space, whether in a small apartment or a house in the suburbs.
MYTH 4: You Need a Farm or a Retreat Location It would be nice if we could each lay claim to a faraway place we could run to, but most of us are not that fortunate. Instead, just prepare wherever you are, as best as you can. Any amount of preparation is better than none at all.
MYTH 5: Preparing Will Turn Me Into One of Those Crackpots Living in a Cabin in the Woods, Dressed in Military Gear and Threatening People with Explosives This image stems from movie stereotypes of survivalists, sociopathic loners like Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and right-wing militias that thrive on visions of far-fetched conspiracies to justify firearm fanaticism. The truth is, most preppers (a term for the new breed of survivalists now widely used by sources from Newsweek to Wikipedia) are normal everyday people who realize the system may not always be around to support them and so feel they need to provide for their own safety and security. In an era of ongoing financial crises, spectacular natural disasters, and technology run amok, imaginary conspiracies by shadowy government entities are really the least of our problems. So lets get real, shall we?
There are a lot of emergencies we can prepare for, ranging from events with a higher likelihood of occurring, such as unemployment or illness in the family, to natural disasters such as hurricanes or earthquakes to rare but extremely catastrophic events like a terrorist attack or pandemic. Whether youre making preparations for a short-term or long-term emergency, the initial steps toward those goals are the same.
Even if you are starting from the beginning, with no emergency supplies at all, once you get started with the prepping process, you will soon start seeing positive results. As you build on these simple steps, you will become more confident in your efforts and be rewarded with the confidence that you have done the best you can to protect your family from disaster.
CHAPTER ONE
Getting Started
WHEN I FIRST STARTED TO PREPARE, I felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information there is to learn. Im here to tell you it doesnt have to be complicated. You can start out slowly and work at your own pace. How much and how quickly you gather supplies or learn skills is purely up to you. There are no deadlines, and no one is going to judge you except yourself. You will be able to gauge your efforts by your own feelings about how secure you are starting to feel.

DE-CLUTTER YOUR HOME
You will need to free up some space to store your emergency preparedness supplies. An unused room or closet is a good place to start storing your inventory. Make sure the area is clean and easily accessible. If you live in a limited spacean apartment or small houseyou have an even more urgent need to pare down and de-clutter your space.
Before starting on your preparedness program, take a look around your home. Inventory what you have. How much food do you have in your pantry and refrigerator? How much water do you have in your house right now? What do you have stored in your closets? Are these spaces organized so you can easily find what you need?
Consider each item and how often you have used it. If you have items in the pantry and fridge that are expired, its time to toss them out. Check your closets and other storage areas and ask yourself which items you no longer use. Do you have books you have already read and probably wont read again? Movie DVDs you likely wont watch again? Keep in mind that even if you might want to read or watch them someday, thats what libraries and video rental stores are for. You can even turn them into cash by selling them to a used bookstore or video store, or donate them to charity and take the tax deduction. If you have any items that have not been used in more than a year, then it is time to consider getting rid of them.
