Extreme Survival

Having to survive under extreme conditions could be a result of many things. The one thing we want to focus on is terrorism. Since September 11, we have lived under the constant threat of terrorism. Although not much has happened, it certainly has made us more aware of what goes on around us. Many Americans have fallen back into their daily rituals and feel that it won’t or can’t happen to them. We strongly feel that this is avoiding a real possibility. The 3000+ people in the World Trade Center did not expect to die. Something you may want to keep in mind is that these terrorists have no time schedule. They will make their move when it is least expected.

So what do you do to prepare? First consider your location. Watch the news and decide if you are in a high-target area. Places such as New York and Los Angeles fit this description. If you are in a high-target area, you will need to do more in the way of preparation.

Make sure you know what you have on hand for an extreme emergency. Keep an inventory, and update it regularly. Food and water are the most important, followed by shelter, temperature comfort, and appropriate clothing. Be ready to leave town if it is necessary.

Have a plan for your family. Set up a central location where you all can meet in the event of an emergency. Quickly assess whether you have to leave town, or if you can safely stay at home and wait it out.
