What is Personal Preparedness ?

 

Webster's defines preparedness as the state of being prepared.  Prepare is to be ready beforehand for some purpose, use or activity.  To plan in advance.

 

Personal Preparedness is to be ready for what life throws at you.  This website addresses preparedness for calamity, disasters, pandemic,  social and government collapse.  These can be caused by natural or man made sources.  Many religions admonish us to be prepared.  It is even the Boy Scout Motto. 

 

Federal and State governments are now admonishing the public to be prepared.  Governments realize  there are insufficient resources to provide for all the people in the event of catastrophe.  Each of us has to make the decision of how prepared each of us will be. 

 

Can you prepare for all contingencies?  No.  But you have a brain and can adapt.  If you have at least taken on basic preparation.  Personal preparedness starts with a decision.  A decision to take the first step.  It is a journey, not a destination.  There is much to learn and a long way to travel.  It is like eating an elephant.  It must be done one bite at a time.  Start with the basics.  When those are mastered, move on to the next level.  Work with your friends and neighbors to help them prepare.  The more of us that are prepared, the lesser the suffering that will occur when the inevitable happens.
