prepper wake up call sudden emergencies tsunamai earthquake tornado evacuation bug out plan hi it's
AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper did you ever have a prepper wake-up call well we had one here
yesterday in Alaska you know you try to plan for all of the risks emergencies that could happen
what are the events and the risks that most likely happen where you live are there hurricanes
tornadoes winter storms floods forest fires earthquakes all kinds of natural disasters
could happen yesterday there was an earthquake in Alaska it was quite a ways away from where I live
but I all of a sudden the electronics went off and we were under a tsunami warning
that a tsunami was heading this way and everybody needed to get at least 100 feet above sea level
or two miles inland and so these are the kind of emergency disaster events you just never know
you need to take a wake-up call that at any moment your life could be in danger you need
to be prepared for anything that comes along I was not expecting a tsunami warning while I was having
lunch but these are the kind of natural disasters emergencies that can happen what can we do as
preppers to make sure that we have the emergency prepping supplies we need first of all make sure
that you have a full pantry long term food storage and bottled water stored water on hand
make sure that you have a bug out bag and that you've included things for your children that
you've included a bug out plan for your pets don't forget the vulnerable family members plan to stay
as safe as possible in your home check that you have smoke alarms that are functioning make sure
you have a carbon monoxide detector do you have fire extinguishers are they still fresh and loaded
check the gauge on them if you have upper floors make sure that you have a fire escape ladder
what if you have a loss of technology do you have written recipes that you even know how to use your
food storage do you have tools so that you can fix and repair things that are needed do you have
water filters so that you could purify any water that was contaminated water coming into your home
isn't necessarily always safe to drink there are problems that can occur that the water flowing
into your home you could go under a boil alert or you just run out and then you have to find a
secondary location where you have to collect water and then you'll need to filter it to make sure
that you're safe the number one cause of disease in third world countries is drinking contaminated
water you don't want to take any chance that you become sick during an already emergency situation
what if you have to leave in a hurry do you know where you're going how you'll get there
do you have a paper map is your car full of gas do you have some cash on hand
what if you're separated from your loved ones do you have a meeting place that you know
how you could find each other and communicate even if cell phones and power are not working
don't be complacent be ready to take the next step and be prepared to be in charge of yourself
no matter what the situation is document the contents of your home
for your insurance purposes because we just don't know what could happen
so take this as a wake-up call you don't want to wait until your electronics are going off
with alarms and you are being told to evacuate there's an emergency because you just never
know what can happen but if we're prepared and we've thought about what the risks are
then we don't panic we can put into place the plans that we've made so we can make the best
of whatever situation comes our way luckily we're all safe here thank you lord if you liked my video
