Amazing Storm

I just thought I'd write today and admire the power of nature a bit.  I saw an awesome photo today, which led me to a video.

This is the photo:

Wow.  It makes me stop and think, at least.  How about you?

SBA (Small Business Administration) Disaster Assistance Program

Hello everyone,

Here's something you probably didn't know - in the wake of a disaster, the Small Business Administration (SBA) provides low-interest disaster loans to homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes, and private, nonprofit organizations.

It's not something that comes into play when you're surviving the disaster in the first place, but it just might be VERY helpful to have in your toolkit afterward.

Check out this short video for more information:


Have a nice day!

Bugging In?

Bug Out Bags may be optimized for travel, but when you choose to stay in and weather the storm locally, there are some extra concerns you need to be aware of.

For example - looters.  If your disaster situation goes on for long enough, there is a high likelihood of thieves and looters.  What is your plan for such a situation?

A lot of people don't REALLY want to think about it, but that won't make the problem go away.

And even if you've put effort into preparing for self-defense, the absolute SAFEST way is to deter the threat before violence starts.  So, is that possible?

In fact, there is an easy first step you can take - something that a survey of hundreds of burglars determined is the best deterrent, and would send any of them running.  And the one simple thing you need is - a loud air horn.

You can get this simple solution for as little as $20 (a $10 air horn is likely to not be as loud as you would want).

So there is your emergency preparedness and survival tip of the day - getting yourself a loud air horn is WAY more than worth the investment.

Well, best of luck and fortune to you all.
Until next time,
Daniel Wescott
