If you are located in SC, NC or VA, TIME TO PREPARE IS GROWING SHORT.
In a disaster situation, you want to be a spectator, not a participant.
If you are a participant, you will either be a victim, or a survivor with an unpleasant story to tell.
Avoid being one of those individuals appearing on national news with matted hair and dirty clothes crying, "Where is FEMA?"
PREPAREDNESS CONSIDERATIONS:
The key categories you should consider are as follows:
- Food and Water
- First Aid
- Medications
- Power Needs
- Tools and Supplies
- Special Requirements (Baby, Elderly, Pets)
- Important Documents
- Cash
- Fuel
For several of these categories, you have two basic choices: Try to buy locally or shop online. For the later, Amazon is an excellent option and in some locations, there is still time for orders to be delivered, particularly with Prime service or overnight shipping.
