Disaster & Survival Preparedness

I've considered this idea for many years and I think I'm going to do it. The world seems a bit less certain these days, and a section of the forum dedicated to getting our ducks in a row for natural disasters and emergencies of all kind would be beneficial. Generators, radios, emergency lighting, kits to keep in cars and other types of kits- wilderness survival and shelter-in-place kits, for example. Tools, shelters, winter clothing, footwear- all the things to help cope with the extreme and the unexpected. Formulating contingency plans for various types of emergencies, and on and on.

The room will go into the Main section, in between The Essential Edge and The Gallery. Tomorrow or the next day.

I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up instead of the room just appearing suddenly

I'll be reading it! Thank you.

The contributions will, of course, come from the members, and I'll have some of my own contributions.

Awesome idea, Boss!

Great idea! Thanks.

Thumbs up. A great idea and very important.

Excellent addition. Looking forward to it.

That will be very useful, thank you.

Love it. I'll participate.

Awesome idea!!! I miss the Zombiesquad forum that used to exist!!!

I'm interested in following it.

I look forward to reading and learning from it. Thank you para and fellow members.

Great plan

Sounds good.

Looking forward to it.

Didn’t even realize you had created this, and just posted a rambling on why I think the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Thanks Para, appreciate the space.

Great! Looking forward to invaluable info.

Great idea, Para!

With all the good info and other resources which the members here provide, that is a most excellent idea - especially is insight is given as region specific (ie., does anyone in Georgia really need to know about earthquake preparedness?)

Great idea! I hope the member who wrote about his hurricane Sandy experiences posts in this new room. I learned a lot from his experiences.
