      Prepping for Disaster - Bill Shepherd

      Are You Prepared? For almost anything?

      You know you need to be prepared. But maybe you don’t know where to start? Maybe you consider yourself an expert prepper already. Maybe you’re just a beginner. No matter how long you’ve been prepping, we all make mistakes. It’s natural. It’s human. But there are ways you can learn from others and avoid the same mistakes that we all make.

      With this book, you’ll learn how to be prepared for almost any event and how to survive for as long as you need to!

      If you are interested in learning how to protect your family from any and all of the inevitable disasters that could potentially happen, this book is your first step to learning how to prepare for any emergency situation.

      Don’t wait - Get started today!

      Introduction

      We’ve all seen in on the news, from all over the world. An earthquake. A hurricane. An overthrow of the government. Armed citizens in the streets. Looting. Rioting. The list of bad things that can happen on any given day is almost endless. So what can you do?

      Millions of Americans are now looking to prepare themselves for what the world has to throw at them. As crazy as it sounds, this isn’t such a bad idea because, in today’s world, you can never truly know what is waiting around the next corner.

      It may be a scary thought for some but the world is a scary place and while most of us will remain relatively safe, many will not. Unfortunately there are disasters and they come with their own hidden dangers. However, being prepared for those dangers could potentially be the difference between living and dying.

      Maybe you’ve already started prepping. Maybe you know you need to start, but you don’t know where to start. If so, then this book is exactly what you need to begin your prepping journey and be truly ready to face anything that comes your way. Prepping doesn’t have to mean living in an underground bunker full of bottled water, canned foods, and every weapon you can get your hands on. Prepping comes in all shapes and sizes and can be tailored for what you and your family really need. Prepping means different things to different people, and that’s exactly the way you should approach it.

      You may believe you’re prepared for anything but are you really prepared? Let’s get started.

      Chapter One: Why Do You Need To Prepare For Emergencies And Natural Disasters?

      Natural disasters and global emergencies aren’t as rare as we think. Each year, there are thousands of disasters across the world and while most remain fairly minor, they still can be very deadly. Every disaster has its own pitfalls and those affected find themselves unprepared for the events. We see it on the news most nights, but we always think it couldn’t happen to us. This is where we are wrong, and this is where prepping begins.

      A weather storm may be predicted but you can’t truly know the devastation it will cause; it’s the same with a terror attack. An attack might be deadly but you can’t predict or know how it will impact on your life or safety. Unfortunately, no one can predict what will happen even with the fancy security systems and weather forecast stations. Mother Nature is too unpredictable and, sometimes, everything comes down to human error. It might seem hopeless if you stop thinking there. But there are things you can do, steps you can take, to greatly increase your security and make sure that you and your family survive and thrive, no matter the situation.

      In the end, being prepared for any eventuality allows you and those around you to take real steps to survive any horrors that might come your way as best as you possibly can.

      Is Prepping Really Necessary?

      This is a question that a lot of people ask, and a lot of preppers find themselves having to answer. Prepping is something very few people understand simply because they think it’s a morbid or unnatural thought however, that is far from the truth. Preparing for disasters or government breakdown can be one of the smartest moves anyone can make today, simply because you’re preparing for the worst.

      This isn’t about you looking for something awful to happen but rather, it’s about preparing yourself and your family for anything, should a terrible tragedy occur. Disasters come in many forms, from tornadoes to terrorism and they occur at the least likely of times. Your home might appear safe but once disaster strikes, will it remain a safe haven?

      No one wants to believe that anything bad will ever happen to them and their loved ones. Especially not when there is so much security out there. But, in a blink of an eye, the best security defenses can be torn down and left exposed. Thousands, if not millions, of people all around the world are not prepared for even the most minor of disasters, never mind the major ones. Sometimes, the minor disasters can cause the most problems and yet, most believe they’re safe, when in reality, they are exposed to the worst elements possible.

      Being unprepared is almost like ringing the dinner bell in a shark-feeding pen; you wouldn’t want to be there when they come to feed. Being unprepared is simply asking for trouble. Prepping for disaster can appear to be an unnecessary and unhealthy obsession but no matter who you are or where you live, you must be fully prepared for any disaster that hits.

      What Would Your First Thoughts Be When Tragedy Hits?

      Take a moment to think about what your first thoughts or actions would be if and when a terrible disaster struck. Would you try to shore up the defenses in your home if you saw a local flood warning on TV or would you be scrambling for supplies and fighting through the crowds at the supermarket for the last bag of chips and bottled water? Would you leave your home when a terrorist attack happened in the State or would you seek shelter when a hurricane was heading your way?

      The very first actions you take in a matter of seconds could determine your fate. No one thinks one hundred percent clearly at first when they hear about a minor flood or terror attack but being prepared allows you to get the shock out the way and get down to action. You will have things rehearsed and, though you will still be surprised or in shock, you will quickly revert to what you know, what you have trained for, and what you have taught yourself.

      Your first instincts always will center on protecting the people and things that matter to you the most. However, sometimes, the warnings come too late and all you have is a few moments to decide your next move. When you’re unprepared, you tend to make all of the wrong decisions because you spend most of the time packing up unnecessary belongings or calling around searching for help when you should just get out.

      It is these simple precious seconds that could change the course of your life.

      Everyone needs to be prepared so that if there is ever a time when they must survive without electricity or having drinking water, they know how to carry on and survive. Being prepared isn’t something so-called crazy ‘end-of-the-world’ preachers are doing; everyday 9-5 people work to prepare fall-out shelters and are even ready to leave their home in a minute’s notice.

      Yes, it’s very scary to think the worst can happen but the way you react will change everything and if you’re unprepared, it’s a nightmare.

      Relying On Government Assistance Might Not Be a Possibility

      Government responses during emergencies can be phenomenally good, but, as we saw with Hurricane Katrina, it comes much too late in some instances. This isn’t designed to scare you because while the government has an excellent response time, it doesn’t guarantee you food shelter or safety. Simply put: you can’t rely on the government to take care of you in a disaster situation.

      Major disasters cause a great deal of problems for the government, both on a local level and on a federal level. Roads can become inaccessible and resources might be very tight. The unfortunate truth is that while the government pulls out every stop possible to help those affected by whatever tragedy strikes, there can be time delays and lack of communication, resulting in problems for us average citizens.

      Any rescue worker will understand how difficult it is to reach everyone in danger and you must understand that too, because you cannot solely rely on the government to help you. They may be able to provide additional shelter for you as well as food and water but when will that be? It could be days or possibly even weeks before you receive help and that could be too late. Do you really want to leave your survival in the hands of someone else?

      The fault doesn’t lie with the government or with the local police, fire and ambulance service; it’s just an unfortunate trap that accompanies tragedy. You have to remember, thousands may be waiting for help but there may not be enough resources for everyone. This is why you must be prepared to take care of yourself and your loved ones. If you don’t, who will?

      However, crisis’
