Do You Possess The Means To Survive A Bombing?

By Danyel Mackowiak

Living in comfort for a long time doesn't mean you will not have to handle a calamity in the future. Living under a rock and believing that nothing ghastly will ever occur will not only make it harder for your family to cope during a disaster situation, it will also keep you from truly planning for the disaster. A large percentage of the populace is not keen on discovering survival techniques for the reason that they think a war that could drive them from their homes will never come about again.

The Evolution of War Throughout the Ages

You don't need to go as far as to learn about advanced military strategies, although military skills are valuable if war breaks out. But you can start by being interested about disaster management and disaster management. Nowadays, it's not just about warding off enemies trying to knock down homes; war in modern times is all about nuclear bombs. If there's a bomb threat, you won't be able to go to the shop fast enough to get all the supplies you need to stay alive inside a shelter.

Everyone Could Make use of Survival Training

Many people think that only those in the armed forces ought to learn the basics of assembling survival bags and zip guns. They think that during an emergency, the military will send troupes to accompany them from their homes to emergency shelters away from the city. It does not work that way. You may have to trek on foot to look for a safe place where you can settle until you can go to a much safer area. In a disaster situation, a "safe place" does not necessarily mean a comfortable area. Usually, it's an emergency shelter constructed to accommodate a large cluster of evacuees. You won't have access to comfortable chairs for a few days until the disaster blows over.

Survival Bags for Each Family Member

If you didn't plan an evacuation earlier, this could mean you do not have any idea what you should be doing. Being ill-prepared to handle disaster, you will not be able to bring anything but the clothes on your back to the shelter. What you can do now is to prepare an emergency bag that you can take with you anyplace at the drop of a hat. You can also start familiarizing yourself with the concepts of stick combat just in case you have to protect your family against predators and criminals. Plan for what you need to stay alive until the rescuers haul you out from the crisis area. Don't forget to pack flares or anything that you can use to signal for help. Being prepared is better than being remorseful that you did not prepare anything.
