Just after Valentines Day 2011, a 33-year-old woman was assaulted and robbed outside the downtown post office in a small Oregon college town before 7 a.m. She was grabbed from behind as she was getting into her vehicle and struck on the head several times with a blunt object before being knocked to the ground. The attacker then proceeded to steal her purse and other personal items.

The woman took several minutes before she was able to call 9-1-1. She was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Her purse was later located in bushes close to the post office. Several other items were not recovered by the police. The unidentified male attacker was described as a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face and rotten teeth. He was last seen running north through the streets and he remained at large the evening of the attack.

How many of us have gone to the post office in the early morning hours prior to going to work? A scenario like this could happen to anyone, especially if youre not prepared or expecting danger in the most unlikely of places. This woman did not expect to get bashed in the head while pulling the keys out of her purse. She was probably doing what she has done hundreds of times before and expected nothing out of the ordinary to happen to her.

What could she have done differently? Could she have gone later in the day? Was it still dark out that morning? Was she alone in the parking lot? What else did she have in her purse? Did she have anything to ward off an attacker? What could she have had in her purse that she could carry every day that could have possibly prevented this from happening? These are the questions you should consider when you are by yourself in public places, both familiar and unfamiliar.

When it comes to being prepared, your environment doesnt matter. Emergencies can happen anywherein a rural or urban area, in a relatively safe, gated community, and in shopping centers. There have been reports of people being abducted in every type of environmentrich, poor, in daylight, after dark, at dusk, and at dawn. You have to be prepared, even in what you perceive to be the most secure of environments. Those who fail to prepare will not have a fighting chance to survive an emergency.

Purses are usually used to carry a wallet, phone, personal care items, and makeup. It might also include a tablet or laptop and phone charger. Obviously, the larger the purse, the more you can fit in it. Ive often commented on womens purses that could be used as weapons because they are so heavy and could easily be swung against an attacker. Why not add a few items to your purse that could potentially save your life and get you out alive if faced with a survival situation?
