Disaster Preparedness: Are you ready?

I realized last night that in case an earthquake or other disaster hits, I'm totally fucked, and so would my wife and kids.

I decided to start putting together disaster kits at home and in our fleet of vehicles in case shit happens (AKA ChickenFucker's relatives decide to start rioting again like in LA in 1992).

Are you ready in case shit goes down?

Do you have:
- Water and water-purification tabs
- Flashlights (with extra batteries)
- Freeze-dried food for at least 10 days
- First Aid Kit with medicines
- Knives, Guns, Grenades, etc. to fight zombies

and so would my wife and kids.

and so would my wife and kids.

HKSEO is right ya know. It sounds like tin foil hat stuff until it happens to you. My sister-in-law last year in Ayutthaya, Thailand. She went to bed worried about the heavy rain, woke up to water that was chest high in the street in front of her house. Her two cars flooded and totaled, no way to even leave the house. Little food or water stored. Fortunately her husband is a senior government official so got a boat sent over to evacuate her. She stayed with us for a month until the flood waters subsided. Other people took to the streets like this

Thousands of people trudged through waist deep water to find shelter and food for themselves and their pets. Many pets didn't make it. Don't forget pet food when you stock up bros.

The water was foul and filthy, full of sewage and dead animals, so lots of people got really sick. But you couldn't go to the hospital because they were under water, too.

Farmers and people in more rural areas are more self sufficient so they were ok for a while but the freakin' flood waters did not subside for months so a lot of people were desperate.

Just remember Ike and Katrina if you are tempted to think this kind of stuff is a third world problem. Or move to somewhere that never has natural disasters, wherever that might be I don't know.

Just bought some potassium iodide tabs: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Thyrosafe-Potassium-Iodide-Tablets-20-Count/dp/B004XXVV6W/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1339144192&sr=8-5]Amazon.com: Thyrosafe Potassium Iodide Tablets, 65 Mg, 20-Count: Health & Personal Care[/ame]

You can only take it for 10 days max.
1 box is good for an adult
1/2 a box is good for a child

Also, in reading the article posted earlier regarding Argentina's meltdown, I bought a headlamp.

Before IKE and Katrina, we had not had a bad hurricane in 20 years...you forget you ARE in a disaster zone. But thats not the point, there are other things that can happen.

Bad weather can hit ANYwhere. If a a solar flare happens today, that happened in like the 1940's or 50's...everything electrical that you have, would be fried. It would be a giant fuck up for a lot of people.

You don't have to buy a bunker, or be a doomsday prepper. I'm not, but I'm smart enough and been through enough to know that you should have some basic shit in your house.

Hell, ramen noodles are like .25 cents. Even a few cases of those, with some can beans and peas or corn or something would be a minimal. Just make sure you have a way to cook it if you had no power.

And then like I said, a few cases of water in your pantry and really...a nice little filter in case it got bad. That, should be the LEAST everyone has. Candles and hand pump flashlights, radios, plenty of batteries and shit like that you can slowly add over time.

The proof of how your assertion is stupid and clueless is the latest earthquake in North Italy 2 weeks ago (6.2 Richter). The last similar event was registered 500 years ago and that region was estimated the safest place to live by italian geologists. Just until 2 weeks ago.

Exactly,

I remember when I was young, NO BODY locked their doors....a lot of people left windows open for the breeze. Neighboorhoods were essentially viewing the neighborhood like we do disasters. They assumed, nothing has happened bad to us in our lifetime, so that must mean nothing ever will.

Mix in the knowledge of a few "Richard Ramirez, Jeffrey Dahmers and Son of Sams", and people started doing some minimal "Prep" for their houses. They locked the windows and doors, added alarms and a lot of people started buying guns for home protection.

My mom thought she was never going to be kidnapped, but you know what? When I was two, she WAS kidnapped by a guy posing as a police officer. She wasn't prepared either.....I mean, "How often do people pose as officers and kidnap women?"

How often are serial killers or burglars going to rob your house or kill you? Chances are, you may go your whole life without it happening to you. But you know the possibility exists so you prepare for it by locking your doors at night or buying a gun for the house. My mom carries a pistol underneath her car seat at all times now, especially when driving alone.

Why treat natural disasters any different? You know they exist, you know they happen...you know they can happen anywhere. Why not have some minimal survival prep? Its just common sense.

You don't have to go crazy, you don't have to buy gasmasks and automatic weapons....but having a few things set up for a few "what ifs" is just common sense.

In Sherman Texas, (north Texas near Tornado alley) I woke up in the middle of the night to a Tornado that hit, with the wind slamming my little sisters giant play house into our screen door. My step dad wasn't prepared for shit...we had not lived there long and were not used to how quickly and unexpectedly a Tornado could drop down without warning.

All the power was gone, it was loud and scary as fuck. Adrenaline made it hard to think....luckily, our neighbors across the street had a storm cellar for us to get into (and lucky for them, we woke them up...lol..they were old as hell and sleeping through the damn thing...I have NO idea how...it was so fucking loud).

Luckily, it didn't destroy our house....but living in a place like that...we should of had more stuff prepared. We should of had a plan. We were running around, chaotic, unsure of what to do...in a strobe light. It was lightening so fast, that it was like a constant strobe light...really weird.

It was a horrible time to START thinking of what to do, 3 am, half a sleep, scared to death, with wind banging objects against our house and a strobe light of lightening...THATS when we started planning. Thats dumb, after that...we sat down at a table, and we went over scenarios...talked to neighbors and had plans AHEAD of time.
 
HKSEO I'm not sure if you're being serious or not so I'm not even going to respond to your stuff bit by bit. You sound like a 70 year old crippled quadriplegic. Are you seriously as pathetic and helpless as your posts make you sound?

If I was involved in a serious disaster where the end was nowhere in sight, I would use my satellite phone (oh sorry you don't have one?), call my brother who happens to be a helicopter pilot, and have him pick my ass up. I'd be back to sipping mojitos by the pool within 24 hours while helpless fools like HKSEO are "stuck" in their house sitting around waiting to be looted/robbed/murdered.

Ohhhhh...so now you went from from being "prepared" with all of your cash and guns, ready to buy supplies from broke looters or by stealing from the raping and pillaging "bad guys" that you and your band of cowboy friends killed for food......you went from that....to using your "satellite phone" to call your, "just so happened to be a helicopter pilot" brother, who either owns a helicopter or can find a place that is retarded enough to rent him one so he can dangerously fly into a hurricane or disaster zone to save his "mojito sipping brother".

And I'm the one who sounds helpless? lol Yeah, your johnny, the hero survivor man, with your satellite phone and your brother (who may or may not be a fictional character, in your tale of "would be survival")

I'm 29, have a wife and two kids... have taught and trained Jiu-Jitsu for the last 5 years. I hunt, camp, hike, kayak and fight for hobbies...what the fuck about that sounds like a helpless 70 year old?

I the man who takes care of my family. You're the delusional one who sounds like a fag, depending on other people to save you while you sip on mojitos.

You keep throwing out different scenarios - I addressed each one.

Since you're obviously having a hard time following the thread, I'll spell it out for you one last time ...

1. In the case of a minor situation with minor inconveniences, my cash will buy me whatever I may need that I don't have handy. Fact.

2. In a major catastrophe such as Ike or Katrina I would use my satellite phone to call someone to get my ass out of there. I happen to have a brother and other friends who are pilots who could pick me up anywhere, any time. I'd have to hang out for 24 hours tops while I waited for my ride out. Fact.

(Don't have a brother who is a pilot? Use your brain and make some calls and figure out a way to have someone pick your ass up, or make other arrangements that will ensure your safety and comfort.)

3. In a doomsday/WW3/zombie type situation all bets are off and I would do anything necessary to ensure my safety and the safety of those I care about. That would probably include banding together with other like minded people and killing bad guys to take their shit. Fact.

And I'm the one who sounds helpless? ... You're the delusional one who sounds like a fag, depending on other people to save you while you sip on mojitos.

Yeah your posts do make you sound utterly helpless. YOU are the one talking about being stuck in your own house, not being able to walk outside, and having to wait weeks for someone to come and save you. These are all your words, not mine. So yeah, you basically do sound like a little pussy.
 
3 3 3 3 Rule to Survival

3 minutes without air, 3 hours without core body temp, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food.

Figure out how to address each and you should be fine... i guess the weapons thing depends on where you live. :)
 
Thats not a bad idea. Cheap and good to know you have somewhere, especially watching what happened to Japan. Whats the shelf life?

Shelf life is 72 months.

I'm 29, have a wife and two kids...

Holy shit, I too am 29 with a wife and two kids. Nothing can be explained.

I just LOL'ed at the last post about the guy calling his helicopter pilot with his satellite phone. Charles Darwin, baby!

Fact. You typically don't know when a "Minor or Major" inconvenience is going to happen. This CAN depend on where you live. I can obviously tell when a hurricaine is coming, but you can't tell where its going to hit. Hurricaine Rita came after Katrina...and everybody evacuated.

I was in the car for 17 hours, to get about hour away from the coast. You know what happened? The hurricaine turned, and missed our house and hit more north. So I evacuated for nothing. Even worse, some people evacuated their houses to avoid the hurricaine, and the hurricaine HIT where they evacuated to.

THEN, after Rita just made everyone evacuate....and it missed us only to hit where people evacuated to....hurricaine IKE came...and so a lot of people didn't sit in their cars for 17 hours...they stayed home. Not because they were helpless...because its a mindless hurricane....and not everyone has pilots for brothers, with fleets of helicopters to come pick them up.

So people stayed home....the hurricane hit, and you had to survive. Responsible people, had generators water and canned food. Other people died, because they thought they would be able to buy what they needed when the time came, like you...the problem is that 1000 thousand other idiots do the same thing, then everything is wiped out and there was not enough food and water to go around, or to buy.

(Don't have a brother who is a pilot? Use your brain and make some calls and figure out a way to have someone pick your ass up,

Oh....is it that simple? Gee whiz...why didn't 3 million other Americans figure that shit out. You see, there is a little monkey wrench in your cute little plan, that doesn't include millions of crazy people all trying to figure shit out at the last minute too....and all trying to drive...or have people drive and come get them on limited driving space.

It doesn't work that way, I've been through it. You've obviously not, so please stop giving people retarded advice.

...or make other arrangements that will ensure your safety and comfort.

Yeah, thats what I've been fucking saying the whole time, can you not read, or are you intentionally being obtuse? I said....always have some basic prep....so if an emergency happens...you can survive until its over...someone comes and helps you (even if its in a helicopter)...or to last you as you travel to where help is. What exactly is it about that advice, that you disagree with?

3. In a doomsday/WW3/zombie type situation all bets are off and I would do anything necessary to ensure my safety and the safety of those I care about. That would probably include banding together with other like minded people and killing bad guys to take their shit. Fact.

You're missing the point. FACT. This isn't the movies, and almost nobody will have food long...because most people, like you...don't prepare. There are no bands of people running around with a bunch of food to steal from.

If they are running around trying to steal food..its because they dont have any. And apparently neither do you, so the only people you can get food from....is the people that prepared. And t hey will probably have guns too. So you'll have to murder THEM and steal THEIR food. Which makes YOU the bad guy.

Yeah your posts do make you sound utterly helpless. YOU are the one talking about being stuck in your own house, not being able to walk outside, and having to wait weeks for someone to come and save you. These are all your words, not mine. So yeah, you basically do sound like a little pussy.

Yeah, we were stuck in our house because we didn't know where the fucking hurricaine was going to hit...and there was LINES of HOURS and HOURS of traffic jams outside.

The previous hurricane MISSED our house...and hit where other people evacuated TO. I wasn't a pussy, nor was I helpless...I just wasn't fucking Storm from the X-men...able to control the weather or predict where giant hurricanes hit.

A lot of people died, lost their houses and had their lives ruined..not because they were pussies or helpless. You're a fucking idiot, go fuck yourself.

Don't talk to me anymore about shit you have no clue about. Go sip your fuckin mojito's and wish about having more time to learn how to fight.

How about 3 3 3 3 3, 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without core body temp, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food, 3 different ways to kill the asshole with a satellite phone trying to steal it. lol
 
If you guys are stockpiling food and water and don't even have a satellite phone I don't know what to tell you other than good luck!

Yes, because during a hurricane calling your family on a satellite phone to stop by the local grocery store to get you some Twinkies and Redbull is going to be extremely helpful.

Perhaps you can call your buddy the helicopter pilot and have him land on your street to take you to safety, right?

"Wait Charlie, don't take off yet! I forgot my Macbook Pro and my fleshlight!"

Wait, maybe I'll use the satellite phone to call 911! That's it!
"Hey po-po, there be some cracka asses tryin' to steal mah shit. Help me niggas!"

HAHAHAHA.. Yeah, doOds an idiot. First, all he needs is "cash and guns" now he has satellite phones and helicopters. I guess he never thought that maybe his brother can't get to the helicopter in time, or maybe the helicopter can't fly to where he is...or maybe HE is in the disaster and can't drive to the airport to GET the helicopter...or maybe, like most disasters...there are traffic jams..and his brother cant get to the airport. Or MAYBE like other disasters...all the helicopters are already rented because other people are trying to get the fuck out of dodge....that...or any other millions of other things that can go wrong.

Brother picking you up for a Sunday fly, is a lot different than needing to instantly pick you up when all hell is breaking lose.

He should of just came in here and said he agreed that people need to be prepared and then say, "I have a satellite phone, and a brother who can fly a helicopter to possibly pick him up. Then he could say, maybe I should prepare for water and food UNTIL he can get to me...or maybe a little more in CASE he can't.

But no, he had to go douche bag, asshole route.
 
...on a side note, another "Zombie Attack".

New Zombie Attack: Louisiana Man Carl Jacquneaux Bites Chunk of Victim's Face Off


"A Louisiana man is in custody after allegedly biting the face off of another man. This latest "zombie" crime is at least the fourth reported cannibalistic incident since a Florida man stripped naked and chewed 80% of the face off a homeless victim.
Law Enforcement officials in Scott, Lousiana, confirmed that Car Jacquneaux, 43, attacked an unnamed victim and, using his teeth, tore parts of the man’s face off.
“During the attack, the suspect bit a chunk of the victim’s face,” said assistant police chief Kert Thomas. “He was clearly under the influence of some kind of drug.”

Apparently everyone is saying its “bath salts”, its pretty freaky that there is something out there that is even capable of making the brain act that way.

The fact that something can be introduced to the brain, and make a normal person lose fear and natural thought process…then become violent and delusional and want to eat people. How fucking crazy is that?
