I'm serious. Because it IS serious there. If you have a car break down in the desert, waiting an hour or two for roadside help can put you into heat prostration. Ahhhh, the 1989 Earthquake in San Francisco! Yes, I lived there. Yes we were without electricity for more than a day or something. And not gas for awhile. Ahhhh, cold bracing showers! Because of the nature of earthquakes and power outages, I have my stuff in portables, not so much expecting to Bug Out as to be prepared to LIVE and get OUTTA the building which can have leaks. Ooooo, will we be talking... ordinances, too? Like watching "The Day After," having some personal protection when there might not be police about to come by to protect you, yours, and the supplies you have for your family....

Ooooo, will we be talking… ordinances, too? Like watching “The Day After,” having some personal protection when there might not be police about to come by to protect you, yours, and the supplies you have for your family….

I hope you will share more in the weeks and months ahead when it is relevant.

Say seven days... I will be discussing planning for exactly this in the days ahead, and then extending it to longer and bigger threats requiring more preparation...

Just read the blog for a little while and you can make an informed decision as to whether being even a little more prepared for an emergency situation might be a good idea. We all do depend on our electricity and our grocery stores very much... Rob Martin,
