Long term survivability

In the event we are hit with something catastrophic, could you care for yourselves for even a month? What if Iran makes good her threats to hit the great satan? It doesn’t have to be an EMP. It could be small guerrilla tactics to take out pieces of our power grid. Or doing other such mayhem. 

5 or 10 people spread out across the nation all performing some type of destruction all at the coordinated same time. People here would be in fear. This would be difficult at any time but even more so in the colder months. Could you stay warm? Could you eat on a semi regular schedule? Could you procure good clean water? Could you dispose of your waste in a sanitary manner? In something sever could you dispose of your dead?

   

All these situations are problematic on their own but compounded together death will be very common. So how do I get here from yesterday’s post about being thankful for our blessings? 

Have you seen the news last night where an avian flu strain was made in the lab to be weaponized. (There is no other word for it) it was done in 2 labs, one in Europe and one in Wisconsin. The reports say that this would be easily transmittable and 60% of those infected would die.

Are you aware of isolation procedures or social distancing? I’m all for putting up food storage. We have used our storage many times in the past but this is more than putting up extra cans of beans or tuna. If you depend on prescription medications do you have any kind of a supply? Insurance often won’t cover more than three months’ worth. So can you pay cash for a longer term supply? Will your DR cooperate with writing out a years’ worth of something. 

These are almost all questions with very few answers. Hopefully I can use this post as an outline to cover some of these things in more detail. Or it could prompt you to find solutions on your own. If so I would hope you would share your thoughts.
