A Perception On Preparing

Chapter 6, Should I stay or should I go?

This is a question that can only be answered by analyzing the variables in front of you, in any relationship, employment, or disastrous event. How you live your everyday life, should coincide with how you will take action in the event of a natural or unnatural event. It is good to have a set of guidelines you will follow, depending on the conditions of any emergency situation. These guidelines should be discussed with every member of your family, so that you are all on the same page and working as a team, instead of working against each other. In an emergency, there is no time for argument.

Assess any situation just as you would assess how bad an injury is, whether you can treat it or need stitches or a cast. It’s a graph of sorts to refer to. If this happens, I do this. It should be something you practice mentally and physically, so that you are prepared when something occurs, or you have to make a serious life decision. Say there has been a large earthquake, and you live in a coastal area. Your plan may say “get to higher ground immediately”. If there is a storm coming in, you may tie furniture down or bring it inside. It’s all preparation for a set of circumstance, within an event that has happened or is going to happen.

What you do in an event, depends on your judgment of how serious it is, where you are safer, or even your decision on whether you want to survive or not. Yes, you may decide that you really don’t want to live in a world after nuclear war, or build a new house and life at your age after everything you have acquired over the years is destroyed. You may have to set your decisions based on a disability, limiting your ability to survive certain events, and spiritually accept death. That’s a real possibility. I don’t judge people by their own personal beliefs. I merely offer what I can, and allow free people to decide their own future, based on their own individual beliefs and decisions. I believe that a test of a person’s spiritually is in how they accept reality or create their own. For me, mental and spiritual preparedness goes hand in hand with physical preparedness and honed skills of survival.

STAYING HOME/SHELTERING IN PLACE

If you are staying at home in an emergency of any type, you have to consider some variables and have a plan that can be altered as variables change, and even move into Bug-out Mode, where you leave in a hurry if you have to. You may have survived an earthquake, with your house intact, but a fire breaks out, or a dam breaks above your town. Variables can change fast, and you have to be at a state of preparedness that allows you to move faster. That is, if you want to survive. It’s your choice.
