My Preparedness List

This book lists possible items you will need in case a disaster or crisis occurs. It is actually two lists: one is alphabetized and the other is categorized. Many of these items listed you already have. Some of these you will never get or use. I have found that there are two frustrating things with preparing. One is forgetting something, like toilet paper or matches and the other is finding a store to buy what you need. This book not only has two lists of preparedness items but also a link to a website with the same lists containing over 1200 source links for most of the items. This will not only help you find and get your necessary items it will also save you time and money. You can quickly have your supplies/gear shipped to your home. Many of these links are informative how to eBooks and DVD’s to equip you with knowledge and skills. Knowledge and skills weigh less than gear and is already safely stored. Having gear is no guarantee you will survive. If you are caught away from your supplies/gear you can still survive if you have the knowledge and skills too.
This book also has a chapter on the EMP/CME disaster threat that looms over this country. If an EMP/CME event ever takes place the power grid will fail. Without electricity modern conveniences will fail. There will be no power to even pump drinking water. There will be no time left to prepare then. For example within three days, without a riot, there will be no food left on the shelves of grocery stores. This book contains a link to the 208 page government report describing the effects of an EMP on the nation if you want to read a detailed list of infrastructure failures due to an EMP/CME. This chapter includes an essay on preparedness as well.
