Preparedness
There’s been a lot of talk lately in the local media about being prepared. It seems the intense storms of winters past as well as recent American adventures in global warming disasters has motivated both the public and private sector to encourage people to be better prepared. The time frame being bandied about is 72 hours. You should be able to survive without services for 3 days.
Depending on the extent of that I think we should be okay. I once survived 10 days in the woods after all. Although there is some areas I suppose we could do better in.
The kits people are advised to have are mostly made up of what I would call household items: flashlight, batteries, radio, bandages, food, and water. Additional bonus items include emergency rain ponchos, blankets, and candles. We have all that, just to varying degrees and not in a kit.
