With so much economic, climate, political, and social uncertainty in the world, there is growing concern about how we would survive in the event of disasters. An economic disaster could destroy our way of life overnight, rendering our money worthless and preventing us from getting necessary supplies. Natural or man-made disasters could destroy our infrastructure and disrupt public services and utilities forcing us to rely solely on ourselves and our environment.

How would we live if we had no electricity, running water, gas, or – heaven forbid! – the Internet? We may not have gas to drive to the store, and in some cases, there may not be much in stores, if they are even open. Make sure you craft a disaster plan that will meet your family’s needs for the immediate future and for the long term.

Water and Sterilization

Water is critical to survival. In the event of a natural or manmade disaster, the municipal water supply might become contaminated for a few days or much longer. To make sure you have a clean, safe supply of water, it is a wise idea to stockpile some ahead of time. Save milk and soda bottles. Wash them out with soap and water, then disinfect them with a weak solution of 10 percent chlorine bleach to 90 percent water. Then, fill the jugs with clean tap water, cap them and store them. If the water supply continues to be a problem, you might need to collect and sanitize your own water.
