It can begin to sound like a broken record. But it is one of the single best things you can do to protect your family no matter what comes down the proverbial pipe. But if you live in a hot and humid climate, such as the Gulf Coast regions and southeastern United States, you have special challenges to deal with. </p> <p><strong>The Good News </strong><br />In some respects, the challenges you will face are nothing compared to the benefits. Unlike the northern United States, you will be able to grow fresh food most of the year without much trouble. Once you find that perfect schedule of what to plant and when, you could get a steady stream of goodies with several harvest times. If you really want to be creative, you can even implement winter gardening to ensure that you have harvest times throughout the whole year. </p> <p>To maximize this benefit, keep your food as fresh as possible for as long as possible. You can do this, even in the heat, by creating a “cooler” made from two basic terra cotta pots, one larger than the other. Put the smaller pot in the larger one, fill the gap with sand, and saturate the sand with water. Then cover it with a cloth. To add additional insulation from the heat, bury the pot up to its rim. The evaporation of moisture from the wet sand will cool the air around the food and help keep it fresh. </p> <p>Only use this type of cooler for fresh fruits and veggies though, as grain, beans, and long-term food storage is damaged by moisture, as we will discuss next. </p> <p><strong>The Bad News </strong><br />Now for the downside of your chosen domicile. There are four enemies of food storage: light, heat, oxygen, and moisture. The southeastern parts of the United States have lots of all four. So your job, as a food storage aficionado, is to reduce these things as much as possible, wherever possible. </p> <p>The easiest one to deal with is light. Since you will also have to contend with heat and moisture, do yourself a favor and eliminate the light issue all together. Make sure your food stores are not out in the open, but instead neatly packed away in your root cellar, basement, or pantry cupboards. If none of these options are available, at a minimum, avoid putting your food near a lamp or window, and throw a blanket over it. </p> <p><strong>Seal It</strong><br />You can eliminate two threats in one by dehydrating your food, and then vacuum sealing it. The dehydration obviously takes care of most of the moisture, and the vacuum sucks all the air out of it. Invest in a good food grade system to process your food this way. Saving a little to buy a cheap vacuum sealer will hurt you in the long run if the quality is poor, since your food will be more likely to spoil and you would have lost your investment in the food. </p> <p>This works best for fruits and vegetables. You can vacuum seal beans, rice, and just about any other food too, though there may be better solutions for those types of foods. The downside of this method is that food does lose some of its nutritional value from dehydration, so you will not want to use this method exclusively. </p> <p><strong>Can It </strong><br />Traditional canning in mason jars is probably one of the best known food preservation techniques, and one that has been used successfully for a very long time. Pressure canners allow you to can a wider variety of food than traditional water bath canning, since it seals the food at a higher temperature. Of course, this has the same problem as dehydration, since some of the vitamins are destroyed through the process. </p> <p>There is another option for canning goods that does not have this problem, though it takes a little more forethought and planning. This method works especially well for grains and beans which you don’t want to cook ahead of time, and can preserve food for up to 30 years. You may want to use glass jars that you have saved from foods you eat every day. You can also visit your local restaurant to see if they have leftover food-grade plastic buckets, or purchase large food-grade barrels. Once you have your containers, you will also need O2 absorbers, and ideally, Mylar bags. </p> <p>Put the food in the jar, bucket, or barrel, add O2 absorbers, and seal airtight. This is one reason Mylar bags are helpful as you can use them to line the container, and then seal completely shut with a clam shell heat sealer. In a pinch, an iron (without steam) or flat iron like you use on your hair will work too for sealing the Mylar. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WSUPDY?ie=UTF8&tag=ofthgrne-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B003WSUPDY">Mylar bags, O2 absorbers</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ofthgrne-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B003WSUPDY" name="graphics2" align="BOTTOM" border="0" height="2" width="2" />, and a good food grade bucket or glass jar, you will eliminate the light, moisture, and oxygen all in one. Then you only have to contend with heat. </p> <p><strong>Freeze It</strong><br />The most obvious way to get rid of heat is to freeze your food stores. You will not need to remove the air, though it may still be helpful to vacuum seal food in order to prevent freezer burn. Light and moisture are non-issues as well. </p> <p>Despite all its benefits, freezing foods has several major drawbacks. First and foremost, freezers are not the cheapest form of square feet. Freezers are expensive to buy, and could break and need to be replaced. You also run the risk of the freezer accidentally being unplugged or turned off and the food spoiling. Finally, freezers require electricity, so a back-up power source would be needed, and you would not want to rely solely on anything electric for your food stores, even if you do have an off-grid power source. There are just too many things that could go wrong.<br />Of all the elements that damage food, heat tends to be the least of the evils. So as long as you are able to minimize oxygen, moisture, and light affecting your food storage, even in higher heat, you should be able to successfully store food for 3-5 years at least. </p> <p>That being said, there are lots of things that you can do to keep your food cool even in a hot climate.</p> <p>• Find the coolest room in your house – a shaded northeast corner is probably the first place you should look if you do not have a basement or root cellar.<br />• Ensure good air circulation and put in fans to cool the air of the space.<br />• Keep any lights off in the area unless they are absolutely needed.<br />• Use air conditioning in your home<br />• Install a geothermal system to optimize both your heating and your cooling</p> <p>No matter where you live, it is important to store food, and to store it in a way that you won’t lose your investment through mold, rot, botulism, or oxidation. Even if you start small with one glass jar and a few oxygen absorbers, or by purchasing a few extra canned goods, start somewhere so you will be that much closer to being ready no matter what the future holds! </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p>dollyghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08687396654469086682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079938801703623425.post-39593842141376194412011-01-20T08:22:00.000-08:002011-01-26T09:52:20.255-08:00THE FINAL DAYS OF THE DOLLAR<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 0.26in; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0.04in" lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="color:#2b2020;"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Common Sense should tell you the economy is going to collapse, please get prepared!!!</span><br /></span></p><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 0.26in; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0.04in" lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="color:#2b2020;"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 17pt;font-size:100%;" >Independent Living Presents </span></span></p><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 0.74in; MARGIN-TOP: 0.47in; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="center"><span style="color:#2b2020;"><span lang="en-US">THE FINAL DAYS </span></span><span style="color:#2b2020;"><span lang="en-US">OF</span></span><span style="color:#2b2020;"><span lang="en-US"> </span></span><span style="color:#2b2020;"><span lang="en-US">THE DOLLAR </span></span></p><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 0.74in; MARGIN-TOP: 0.47in; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in" align="center"><span style="color:#2b2020;"><span lang="en-US">1 0 Last-Minute<br /></span></span><span style="color:#2b2020;"><span lang="en-US">Preparations </span></span></p><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 0.61in; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.02in; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0.03in" lang="en-US" align="center"><span style="color:#2b2020;"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 33pt;font-size:100%;" >You Need to Make Now </span></span></p><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 0.35in; MARGIN: 0.81in 0.04in 0in 1.93in" lang="en-US" align="left"><span style="color:#2b2020;"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 23pt;font-size:100%;" >2010 Briefing </span></span></p><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 0.17in; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN-LEFT: 2.16in" align="left"><span style="color:#1f1412;"><span lang="en-US"><i>The Final D</i></span></span><span style="color:#1f1412;"><span lang="en-US"><i><u>ay</u></i></span></span><span style="color:#1f1412;"><span lang="en-US"><i><span style="TEXT-DECORATION: none">s </span></i></span></span><span style="color:#1f1412;"><span lang="en-US"><i><u>O[</u></i></span></span><span style="color:#1f1412;"><span lang="en-US"><i><span style="TEXT-DECORATION: none"> The Dollar </span></i></span></span></p><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 0in; FONT-STYLE: normal; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-DECORATION: none" lang="en-US"><br /></p><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 0.16in; FONT-STYLE: normal; MARGIN-TOP: 0.03in; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-DECORATION: none" lang="en-US"><span style="color:#1f1412;"></span></p><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 0.46in; FONT-STYLE: normal; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; TEXT-DECORATION: none" lang="en-US"><br /></p><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 0.18in; TEXT-INDENT: 0.48in; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.01in; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0.07in"><span style="color:#1f1412;"><span lang="en-US"><span style="FONT-STYLE: normal"><span style="TEXT-DECORATION: none">For 39 years the U.S. government has had an unlimited credit card, which has led to<br />insolvency.

FREE!Dear Fellow Patriot,<br /><p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />Modern American life has become a chapter out of the Book of Daniel,with the ruling elite feasting on what is left of the American empire, blaspheming the traditional faith of our fathers and oblivious to the writing on the wall that spells out the end of a century of American prosperity and security.<br /><br />I fear that our rulers, just like King Belshazzar, have gorged themselves on power and wealth. And while seeing the signs they find them unintelligible as those of us upon whose backs the excess has been made possible see the truth as plain as day.<br /><br />My name is Bill Heid and for years I’ve been concerned about the direction our country is headed. During the Cold War we recognized the great evil of Communism and sacrificed to meet and defeat that enemy, but since the fall of the USSR our nation has drifted further and further from the Christian foundations of our society, embracing debauchery and decadence that rivals the worst societal conditions since Noah ’time.</p><p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />In the last decade we’ve experienced the worst attack on US soil in nearly 200 years, a catastrophic hurricane in New Orleans which displaced millions of people and revealed a dark underbelly to American society. This natural disaster resulted ultimately in riots, looting and assaults. It also exposed a bureaucratic, impotent government that could only fight over who was responsible. </p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="CENTER">“<b>One ‘not-guilty’ verdict led to riots in L.A. and a hurricane</b><b> turned New Orleans into third world anarchy…<br /></b><br /></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">what’s in store for your community?”</p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;">Then the credit crisis came, the stock market crash, and the gradual but unmistakable takeover of the economy by the federal government. While most Americans voted for a Messianic candidate for President who proclaimed that he was the one “we’ve all been waiting for”, the crisis grew to the point where true unemployment is at 15% 20% and our debt to income ratio is worse than during the darkest days of the Great Depression.<br /><br />Now word is leaking out that we’re on the verge of a catastrophic global food shortage that experts are saying could result in mass starvation, war and societal collapse and our own government is covering it up, proclaiming that harvests will be at record levels this year while their own data show inventories nearing critically low levels.<br /><br />I can’t help but remember how the Soviet news services continued to publish the most absurd stories about the strength of the Communist system and the robust nature of industry and agriculture while everyone in the world saw it collapsing and knew better. Perhaps the difference between then and now is even the </p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;">Politburo was aware it was all a fraud while our own rulers seem to actually believe they are above the laws of God and nature and can do anything.</p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p><p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyEbVTnEr5U37jCQRsUE_6XuTWEUMeGhAz_cdWs6eshJoC1Q_Tai4QPOrQfnz4Ka82H6N_DGJsMSV0o4ChufdzuyRxIv4roN2Kplvy8fLCa1uFxiw0QaBRi86ubtUJjFJ58NPsgwkMh_W3/s1600/gardening.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 132px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyEbVTnEr5U37jCQRsUE_6XuTWEUMeGhAz_cdWs6eshJoC1Q_Tai4QPOrQfnz4Ka82H6N_DGJsMSV0o4ChufdzuyRxIv4roN2Kplvy8fLCa1uFxiw0QaBRi86ubtUJjFJ58NPsgwkMh_W3/s200/gardening.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527696861591342962" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <i><b>"Getting off the grid means knowing how to raise your own nutrient dense food."</b></i></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p><p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;">“<i><b>Could you survive for a few days...or weeks without electricity or a trip to the grocery store?</b></i></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;">”It’s clear to me, and I suspect to you as well, that we’re on the verge of a dramatic shift in civilization. I’m afraid the unthinkable is now possible-if not probable-and like Joseph interpreting the dreams for Pharaoh, we must be the ones to recognize the signs and prepare.<br /><br />Just imagine if the next al Qaeda attack isn’t a plane full of jet fuel crashing into a skyscraper, but a missile hundreds of miles over the US carrying an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) weapon that when detonated would literally fry every electrical circuit in the country. Such a weapon is not even hypothetical; our own government has confirmed that China, North Korea and others already have this ability and it may fall into the hands of terrorists. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich spoke about this when he commented, “A single bomb that could send the entire country back into the dark ages... and it’s not just about not being able to turn on the TV or check email... without electricity the gas station can’t pump gas, grocery stores can’t refrigerate food, hospitals can’t save lives, ATMs can’t provide cash... and life as we have known it for decades comes to an end.” </p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>How would your family survive if the shelves at the grocery store are empty, there’s no gas to put in the car and every computer and phone for hundreds of miles is dead?</b></i></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><p style="margin-right: 1.16in; margin-bottom: 0in;">The threat to our lifestyle doesn’t just come from tech-savvy terrorists or a rogue nation… in our hospitals, clinics, schools and offices lurks an equally threatening enemy; drug-resistant superbugs that have been made increasingly potent over the years by over-prescription of antibiotics and can destroy your immune system and leave you in a coma before even the best Doctors can figure out what you have.<br /><br />Whether the next superbug comes from a terrorist lab, a sick illegal who came here to make a buck, or a foreign visitor who is unwittingly carrying a silent killer, the government isn’t prepared for a true epidemic, and whether all those ‘camps’ that have been setup around the country are to quarantine the sick or safeguard the healthy survivors, their handling of a true epidemic is likely to be arrogant and foolhardy, if not dangerous.<br /><br />And yet, whenever a natural, alternative medicine is discovered that promises potential to relieve suffering or cure naturally, the government-big pharma partnership crushes it under foot, even criminalizing the growth or possession of time-tested natural medicines. The unfortunate truth is they are more interested in taxing and regulating medicine than allowing the population to look after their own safety. </p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;">“<i><b>I hate to burst your bubble, but if you’re looking to the next election to ‘fix things’, you’re in for a terrible surprise;whoever wins the next election might affect how fast things deteriorate, but the terrible outcome is certain.”</b></i></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;">If you’re thinking that the surprise election of Republican Scott Brown to the Senate from Massachusetts means ObamaCare is dead and the country is safe again, think again. Scott Brown will be one of the most liberal Republican votes in the Senate and he’s unlikely to stop a freight train that has decades of momentum and baggage built up since FDR put us on the path to socialism under the guise of ending the first Great Depression.<br /></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />One way or another, government will find a way to control our access to health care and manage who gets what and when, and once in place no future Republican or conservative President or Congress will have the courage to undo the damage. The vast welfare state we have today was started by FDR as a temporary measure, expanded by LBJ temporarily, and now threatens to consume the entire federal budget, which is already at 1/5th the total economy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">And while the threats to the power grid and our health care are grave, the threat to our very existence grows daily as our food supply borders on collapse.</span><br /></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />Around the world economists and analysts are warning that catastrophic crop failures, the use of food for alternative energy products (like ethanol), and the booming population and urbanization in Asia have brought food supplies to record lows. To make matters worse, here in the US 98% of us are now dependent on just 2% of the population for our food, and most of us are hundreds of miles from the food source, meaning that the slightest disruption in the supply chain will leave cupboards bare and bellies empty.</p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc859Uu1zHxqgbOnHA4xDNuN9H44O64cNLO9FlTfri-6Yls2GLbUxcn6l2YrqWX19MKqGmDhLjExb7fPcESiYUmMTPzEaMhtep50B03oujauNX8TToFPJduKKZ4WC2771lExr7ml637aFM/s1600/canning.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc859Uu1zHxqgbOnHA4xDNuN9H44O64cNLO9FlTfri-6Yls2GLbUxcn6l2YrqWX19MKqGmDhLjExb7fPcESiYUmMTPzEaMhtep50B03oujauNX8TToFPJduKKZ4WC2771lExr7ml637aFM/s200/canning.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527694553899644338" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="CENTER"><i><b>One of the best ways to get off the grid is to </b></i></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="CENTER"><i><b>learn how to put away food for future emergencies.</b></i></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />But in Washington, times have never been better.

And yet the signs have been there for years and are only now becoming apparent to a growing group of ‘mainstream’ observers who would have mocked anyone for suggesting that our very way of life is at risk.<br /><br />But the facts are what they are... and a secular group of men and women from both sides of the aisle who reject any concept of law as coming from the Bible, along with their bankster partners in big business are determined to suck every penny out of us before bankrupting the nation, devaluing the dollar, nationalizing private business and imposing martial law.</p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;">“<i><b>History is replete with examples of the catastrophe brought on<br />by corrupt and unlawful governments who use a crisis and a<br />nation’s weakness to gain total control, from the Babylonians<br />to the Roman Emperors and in our own time the communists</b></i><br /><i><b>in China and Russia and the fascists in Germany”</b></i></p><br /><p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;">If you’re thinking this is impossible, just look at 1930s Germany, a country with a strong Democratic government who was bankrupted by debt and elected a charismatic politician who promised the impossible, which began with the nationalization of industry, the devaluation of the currency and eventually total national destruction.<br /></p> <p style="margin-right: 1.47in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />Our own rulers have a worldview no less radical and dangerous than the dictators of the past, and they will stop at nothing to implement their agenda.

One of the reasons for this show's success is that there is an adventurer in all of us and since we all cannot be in a survival situation we like to live vicariously through the people on the show. </p> <p>But don't make the mistake of thinking that being in a survival situation would be fun. Wilderness Survival is not a game, there is no reward challenges, and there is no immunity. How do you think you would fare in a survival situation? Could you build a shelter? Could you light a fire without matches? Could you forage for food and purify water? In real life you don't have luxury items, you don't get tarps and matches and camping supplies. In real life you may not have any tools except your own two hands. If you were stranded in the wilderness would you end up a survivor? </p> <p>Don't worry about those questions. Instead take action and educate yourself on survival techniques. Nature is unforgiving and you must be prepared to fight to stay alive. The contents of this website are taken from actual US Army training manuals, this is the same material used to train the best army in the world. You will not find a more complete resource on Wilderness Survival.

He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. </b></span></span> </p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>Barack Obama is my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it. </b></span></span> </p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>-- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression? </b></span></span> </p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>-- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around." </b></span></span> </p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>-- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government. </b></span></span> </p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>-- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security. </b></span></span> </p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>-- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means. </b></span></span> </p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>-- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. </b></span></span> </p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system. </b></span></span> </p> <p><span><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>Here is Glenn Beck explaining the Cloward & Piven Strategy.

This morning, NIA released a video preview of what hyperinflation will look like in the U.S. This extremely important must see video is now available on NIA's video page at: <a href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=1041573637&msgid=1977742&act=697I&c=422754&destination=http%3A%2F%2Finflation.us%2Fvideos.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://inflation.us/videos.html</a><br /><object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BIVVL43qPXY&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BIVVL43qPXY&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object><br /></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;">NIA's six-minute video released July 13th, 2010 (third video down) goes into detail about an event that took place just outside of Boston, Massachusetts in May of this year. This story was widely ignored by the nationwide mainstream media, but NIA believes it was one of the most important news events of the first half of 2010. Although this particular crisis in Boston was due to decaying infrastructure, NIA believes a currency crisis will lead to the same type of panic on a nationwide basis.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;">NIA hopes that this video serves as a wake-up call for Americans to take the necessary steps to prepare for hyperinflation and become educated about the U.S. economy. In Zimbabwe during hyperinflation, Zimbabweans were forced to transact in gold and silver. It's only a matter of time before the U.S. dollar becomes worthless and the only Americans with wealth will be those who own gold and silver.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;">Citizens of Boston were able to survive their recent crisis with the help of the National Guard, but the National Guard won't be there for Americans during hyperinflation. 40.2 million Americans are currently living off of food stamps, but food stamps won't have any purchasing power during hyperinflation. The United States' day of reckoning is ahead. We cannot go on living with record budget deficits and accelerating national debt growth forever.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;">Just yesterday it was announced that for the first time ever, a major credit ratings agency has given China a higher credit rating than the U.S. While most credit ratings agencies including Moody's, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings still rate U.S. debt as AAA, NIA believes the real credit rating of the U.S. should be junk. The only way one could possibly justify a U.S. credit rating of AAA is by taking into account the Federal Reserve's ability to monetize our debt through inflation. However, printing money to pay off debt is a lot worse than defaulting on it. Inflation is very deceptive, it destroys the value of savings while transferring wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;">The U.S. has a budget deficit just from Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid alone. NIA urges President Obama to implement dramatic cuts to these entitlement programs immediately, while simultaneously reducing the size of government across the board. Time is growing short for Obama to rein in government spending. The longer Obama waits to reverse course, the harder it will be for the U.S. to recover from the calamity that is about to unfold.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><a

threat in two ways. It undermines our capacity to act in our own interests, and it does constrain us where constraint may be undesirable. And it also sends a message of weakness internationally. I mean, it is very troubling to me that we are losing the ability ... to chart our own destiny."</span></p> <span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:12pt;" >I can't say often that I

These include such basic food items as grains (wheat, rice, corn, or other cereal grains), nonfat dried milk, dried fish, legumes (beans and peas), sugar salt, oils and water. Store a year's supply of garden seeds to plant and to supplement the diet. Where garden space is limited a multiple vitamin pill for daily use by each person may be stored as a safety measure. However vitamin pills deteriorate so must be replaced within two to four years. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">For country dwellers fresh taro or sweet potato, live pigs, chickens, fish might be considered as basic items in areas where it is difficult to store food, Regular use of whole grains is vital to build a digestive tolerance for roughage. Basic storage should also include fuel, bedding, clothing and medical supplies. In addition a grinder electric and hand powered for preparing flour if wheat is stored, recipes for using stored foods, and other such items are necessary.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-4106735-10363188" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.nitro-pak.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><br /><img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-4106735-10363188" alt="Nitro-Pak Ultimate Pak Freeze-Dried Food" border="0" height="60" width="234" /></a><br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;"><b>Emergency Storage:</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Each family or individual should have portable containers with emergency supplies such as the following: water, food requiring no refrigeration or cooking (graham crackers, canned fruits, canned meats), medications and critical medical histories required by family members, change of clothing, including two pairs of stockings, sanitary supplies, first aid booklet and equipment, candles, matches, ax, shovel, can opener, and blanket. The container should be placed where it can be picked up at a moments notice. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;"><b>Expanded Storage:</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">This type of storage would include goods and other daily essentials to supply total nutritional needs and allow for variety and personal preferences in diet and living. This would include items normally used each day, such as baking powder, soda and spices. Many foods that are adaptable for long-term storage, such as grains and legumes, lack certain essential nutrients; therefore they need to be supplemented with fruits and vegetables to supply adequate amounts of vitamins A and C (dark amounts of vitamins or orange fruits and vegetables and citrus fruits). These items may be stored in root cellars or they may be bottled, canned pickled, dehydrated or freeze-dried. Smoked, canned. Or freeze-dried meat and fish supply additional nutrients. Because these foods have limited storage life, they should be used and replaced regularly. Special provision should be made for infants or small children in the family. Soaps and cleaning supplies are also essential.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;"><b>Water Storage:</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Some water reserve should also be considered. The approximate requirement per person on a two-week basis is fourteen gallons (seven gallons for drinking and seven gallons for other uses). Storage may be in plastic bottles, to which sodium hypochlorite (bleach) may be added if the purity of the water is in doubt (generally ½ tsp per five gallons if the water is clear and one teaspoon per 5 gallons if the water is cloudy. Sterilized water may also be stored. To sterilize, boil water one to three minutes and pour into hot sterilized jars with sterilize lids or process bottles of water in a water bath – twenty minutes for a quart jar and twenty-five minutes for a two quart jar.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Because it is impractical to store a year's supply of water in most places, it may be wise to store water-purifying agents.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;"><b>First Aid Supplies:</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Basic emergency home storage should include first aid supplies. Store first aid supplies together in a metal, wood, straw, or plastic container with a rightly fitted cover. Supplies may be kept organized by dividing the box into compartments. Although you should check with your doctor for any specific medicines and supplies that your family might require for an emergency, the following items are standard first aid supplies.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Adhesive tape</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">ammonia</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">antibiotic ointment</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Bicarbonate of soda</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Calamine lotion ( for sunburn and insect)</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Diarrhea remedy</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Elastic bandages</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Gauze bandages</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Hot water bottle Hydrogen peroxide </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Ipecaca syrup (induces vomiting)</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Knife</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Matches</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Measuring Cup</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Medicine dropper</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Needles</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Paper bags</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Razor blades</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Rubbing Alcohol</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Safety pins </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Scissors</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Soap</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Thermometer</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Triangular bandages</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Tweezers</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">First Aid and instruction book</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Medications prescribed by physician</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">First aid kits and supplies should be checked and replenished regularly. Old or contaminated supplies are unsafe and should be replaced. Tubes or plastic bottles eliminate breakage. All supplies should be labeled and organized for fast use. Another important emergency precaution is to have tetanus immunizations regularly. At least every ten years. When deep or dirty woulds occur, a booster shot is recommended.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;"><b>Clothing:</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Sufficient durable clothing should be included in a home storage program to meet the family's requirements for at least a year. This clothing should accommodate seasonal needs. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">Where possible and practical, it is wise also to store fabric, thread, needles, and other sewing items. The provident consumer takes advantage of sales of material suitable for clothing tha the family may require and will store these purchaes until needed. A family can also save money be keeping a supply of clean used clothing that can be used in making needed clothes. A reserve of bedding should also be included.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;"><b>Fuel and Light: </b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">If possible a reserve of fuel (oil, wood etc.) should be a part of the storage plan at least enough for cooking purposes. Various supplementary heating and cooking units – some portable – are available. The best types can be used in an emergency both for the preparation of goods and for warmth.<br /></span></p><p><a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/o8121wktqks7C98EFBD798BEB9GC" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.nitro-pak.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><br /><img src="http://www.ftjcfx.com/5o122qmqeki3854AB793547A75C8" alt="Nitro-Pak--The Emergency Preparedness Leader" border="0" /></a><br /></p> <p><span style="font-size:xx-large;"><b>Summary of Storage:</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;"><b>Basic</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:medium;">1.

Please let me know.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Powdered Milk & Cheese</span><br /><br />Nonfat dry milk/dairy 75 lbs. Per person<br />Nonfat dry milk (Instant and Non-Instant)<br />Dry Powdered /Cheese, Bottled Cheese<br />Rice Milk, Soy Milk or other milk substitutes<br /><br />Powdered milk may be purchased in both instant and regular forms. There is no nutritional difference between the two forms and the storage life is equivalent. Buy “extra” grade “low heat” powder. It should have been dried using a “low heat spray process.” It should ideally also have been fortified with vitamins A and D.<br /><br />Dry Milk should be stored in a tightly covered container and stored in a cool, dry and dark location up off the floor. Dry Milk must be rotated even if you package and store it correctly. Dry milk will store well at 40 degrees F. for 12-24 months. Dry milk will store longer when packed in vacuum or nitrogen.<br /><br />Other dairy products which may be stored include: canned evaporated milk, canned baby formula, powdered baby formula, cream substitutes, cheese spread, brick cheese, powdered cheese, margarine, butter, powdered butter, dried eggs.<br /><br /><strong>Powdered milk can be used in many ways to add extra nutrition to foods:</strong><br /><table style="width: 559px; height: 299px;" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><br /><td valign="top" width="29%">Ground Meats</td><br /><td valign="top" width="70%">Use ½ to ¾ cup instant nonfat milk to each pound of meat</td><br /></tr><tr><br /><td valign="top" width="29%">Cooked Cereals</td><br /><td valign="top" width="70%">Before cooking mix an equal amount of instant nonfat dry mild with the cereal.

(The non-instant works best for this purpose.)<br /><br />Some hints for making powdered milk taste better are first of all to let it chill for several hours before drinking. You can mix half and half with whole milk to make your milk go further and lower the fat. You can also try adding 1 ½ tsp of sugar or 1 tsp of Vanilla to enhance the flavor.<br /><br /><strong>CONVERTING INSTANT AND NON-INSTANT RECIPES</strong><br /><table width="53%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><br /><td valign="top" width="45%">INSTANT</td><br /><td valign="top" width="54%">NON-INSTANT</td></tr><tr><br /><td valign="top" width="45%">¼ Cup</td><br /><td valign="top" width="54%">2T PLUS 2 tsp</td><br /></tr><tr><br /><td valign="top" width="45%">1/3 Cup</td><br /><td valign="top" width="54%">3 ½ T</td><br /></tr><tr><br /><td valign="top" width="45%">½ Cup</td><br /><td valign="top" width="54%">1/3 Cup</td><br /></tr><tr><br /><td valign="top" width="45%">2/3 /Cup</td><br /><td valign="top" width="54%">½ Cup less 1 T</td><br /></tr><tr><br /><td valign="top" width="45%">¾ Cup</td><br /><td valign="top" width="54%">½ Cup</td><br /></tr><tr><br /><td valign="top" width="45%">1 Cup</td><br /><td valign="top" width="54%">5/8 Cup Rounded</td><br /></tr></tbody></table><br /><strong>Home Make Yogurt</strong><br /><br />Beat 2 ½ cups non-instant powdered milk (or4 1/3 cup instant) into 2 cups tepid water.

If you have a yogurt maker, follow the manufactures directions. If not, pour into 4 pint bottles and set into a deep pan filled with warm water (100 to 120 degrees). The water should cover the jars up to their necks. Keep warm for at least 3 hours and then check the thickness of the product. It may take longer, especially if your start was not too fresh. If the temperature is to high or to low, this well also make the milk slower in setting. When thick, refrigerate.<br /><br />Yogurt may be flavored with fresh, canned dried or stained fruit. You may also use jams, honey and vanilla, maple syrup, molasses, Tang, etc. for flavoring. Any flavoring should always be added after the yogurt is set.

Yogurt, cheese, sour cream, cultured buttermilk are all ancient methods of dealing with abundance. Milk spoils quickly at room temperature, but if certain bacteria colonize it, it becomes something new and useful Over time people learned how to encourage the bacterial colonization in different directions so that a humble pail of milk could yield yogurt or sour cream or farm cheese.<br /><br />But why should you as a city dweller with a nice fridge, learn to culture milk? First of all it's good for you. When milk is cultured it becomes much more digestible because the live cultures break down lactose. Cultured products most famously yogurt, also colonize with good bacteria repairing damage done by courses of antibiotics and bad diet and helping to control yeast populations. What would we do without sour cream, yogurt smoothies and buttermilk for pancakes? Being able to make your own allows you to control quality and quality, avoid trips to the store and excess packaging.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Making Yogurt</span><br /><br />Yogurt is a fermented milk product made tasty by a culture of Lactobacillus Bulgaricus (or Acidophiles) and Streptococcus Thermophilus and its health benefits are widely acknowledged if it has active cultures. To make yogurt you need to gather:<br /><br /> * One quart of milk. (Whole milk makes the creamiest yogurt, but you can use whatever you want.)<br /> * One tablespoon of live yogurt as a starter. For this first batch you need live yogurt either from a friend or from store-bought yogurt. If you buy it be sure the container reads “contains live cultures.” Some yogurt is pasteurized which kills the cultures, but you can usually find live yogurt even in an ordinary supermarket. You can also order exotic yogurt cultures online if you are a real yogurt connoisseur.<br /> * Quart jar<br /> * Small, insulated cooler<br /> * Thermometer<br /><br />To begin you should sterilize everything that will come into contact with the final product. Keep your hands and work surfaces clean.<br /><br />Pour the milk in a pot with a thick bottom or use a double boiler to prevent burning. Heat the milk up to 180 degrees. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Don't bring it to a full boil. Then remove it from the heat and let it cool to 110 While you wait for it to cool heat up your quart jar and your cooler by pouring hot water into them.<br /><br />When the milk is down to 110 (this is a touchable temperature, like a bot bath) stir in just one tablespoon of live yogurt to inoculate the milk. More is not necessarily better. Use just the one tablespoon.<br /><br />Pour the cultured milk into the hot jar, cap it and put the hot jar in the hot cooler. Fill the rest of the cooler with 110 water and maybe also jars of 110 degree water (literally hot water bottles!) Let it sit for 8-12 hours, checking the temperature of the water periodically and adding fresh hot water if necessary. Check on it after some time has passed. The yogurt should be thick and have a tangy flavor. If not, it needs a boost. Add one more spoonful of starter and heat up the cooler again by filling it with hot water. Keep this water around 110 degrees. The lactobacillus needs a hot place to breed. Let it sit again for several hours, and with luck it should firm up. If it doesn't maybe your culture is no good.<br /><br />Your yogurt will keep for a long time in the fridge though it will get more and more sour as it gets older. Use some of your last batch of yogurt to make your next batch. AS long as it isn't covered in mold you know the cultures are still there.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Making Labaneth, or Yogurt Cheese</span><br /><br />If you drain the water from yogurt you end up with a tangy spreadable cheese along the lines of cream cheese. This cheese is made anywhere people eat yogurt and goes by many names but we call it by its Lebanese name, Labaneh.<br /><br />Take a big piece of cheesecloth and use it to line a strainer or colander of some sort. Pour in your yogurt. It shrinks down so if you want one cup of cheese use two cups of yogurt. Tie up the ends of the cheesecloth of make a bundle. Set the strainer with the bundle in it over a bowl that will catch the liquid that drains off. Put it in the fridge, and let it drain overnight or all day while you're at work.<br /><br />When the cheese is drained it will be a little tangier than cream cheese but similar in texture. Fattier yogurt makes creamier cheese. You can flavor this cheese with herbs or fruit to make an excellent bagel spread. Or you can make a classics Labaneh sandwich by spreading it on bread or pita studding it with olives spicing it up with thyme and /or mint and garnishing with tomato slices.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">By the Whey</span> – That liquid that drains off is called whey and it is rich in protein. You can add it to smoothies or use it in the place of water in just about any recipe. It will keep in the fridge about as long as milk will keep.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-4106735-10800974" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.efoodsdirect.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><br /><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-4106735-10800974" width="340" height="120" alt="Time for fun in the sun!" border="0"/></a>dollyghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08687396654469086682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079938801703623425.post-87550588159137212392010-09-27T19:34:00.000-07:002010-09-27T19:47:07.006-07:00Prepare Your Home and Family For Natural Disasters<span style="font-weight:bold;">Prepare Your Home and Family For Natural Disasters</span><br /><br />The world today has changed massively in multitude of ways. The most noticeable among these changes is the evident environmental degradation. Global warming has gravely affected weather conditions. There have been numerous reports of wildfires caused by extreme heat, devastating typhoons, storms, hurricanes and earthquakes. Millions of lives have been taken over by these natural disasters. Preparing your home and family is crucial so you can be shunned away from experiencing grave casualties.<br /><br />Nothing beats preparedness and you can take on this task in several measures. Firstly, you have to make time in being updated with current news. Regularly tune into radio and television news casts at least once a day. Subscribe to a local newspaper. Search the internet for recent reports of any catastrophe nearby your location.<br /><br /><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://www.dpbolvw.net/9f104yEA-136DA23GPUYRYTUX?target=_blank&mouseover=N"></script><br /><br />The next thing you have to do is to prepare emergency kits. Each kit should contain supplies that can last for at least a week. Your supplies should include the following:<br /><br />- set of clothes – long and short sleeve shirts, shorts, pants, underwear, socks and good walking shoes. Note that you have to prepare clothes according to the type of potential disaster in your area. For example, include a jacket, muffler, ear muffs and gloves if your area is prone to winter storms.<br /><br />- no-cook foods or non-perishable items like energy bars, meat jerky, dried fruits and nuts<br /><br />- gallons of water<br /><br />- medicines, bandages, ointment and cleaning solution for treating minor cuts and wounds<br /><br />- toiletries like soap and tissue<br /><br />- Swiss knife<br /><br />- flashlight, batteries, lighter or water resistant matches, glow sticks<br /><br />- sleeping bag or huge taffeta cloth<br /><br />- money – make sure that you have enough cash in small bills, preferably.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/1l77gv30v2INKJPQMOIKJNPLJRL" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.nitro-pak.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><br /><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/15106drvjpn8DA9FGCE8A9DFB9HB" alt="AAA Explorer Road Kit" border="0"/></a><br /><br />Place one bag in your car and somewhere accessible inside your home so that anywhere you might get stuck, you will have supplies. If you have kids, make sure that they also have an emergency backpack kept in their school. Remember to also pack copies of any identification documents. If you have pets, you also have to make sure that they will have enough food, water and medicine. Include their items in your kits. In addition, place their pet carrier nearby the emergency bag.<br /><br />You should also ensure that your car is always in great shape. Make sure that you have a properly vulcanized spare tire, spare battery, water for the radiator and sufficient gas supply.<br /><br />In order to protect your important documents, keep them in fireproof and waterproof lock box. Place this near the emergency kit so in case the unfortunate strikes, you can grab all the necessary items in one go. You should also make copies of these papers. Secure it in another location. It would be preferable if you multiple copies so you can secure it in several locations such as the bank, home of your parents, relatives or friends and in your office.<br /><br />You must also take the time to discuss within your family about safe routes whenever the unexpected happens. It would even be a fun time for you to create “Emergency Route Maps.” Roughly sketch the directions and post this in common areas such as the kitchen, living room and hall way. Specifically instruct the kids on how to respond to disasters. Always remind them that they have to keep calm.<br /><br />And lastly, to further avert tragedies from happening in your home, ensure that all features and facilities are in well working order. Check if there are exposed electrical wires or damaged wood structures. Constantly tell everyone to remove plugs when no one is around your home.<br /><br />Guaranteeing your family and home can be protected even if the worst calamities would strike your location is truly priceless.dollyghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08687396654469086682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079938801703623425.post-62805839377250818902010-09-27T13:02:00.000-07:002010-09-27T13:10:31.184-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWBdvHD9iehGZYv8XPVZobQcohmMfEZOZw-r2X9eoFKfefJrn7AVHpZiYBIg6gyfx5MwJvaZztKJRKKfVgIKTA2qIs-Zh8GGuprs5kHxny63Ox7BFHoLRnziQVHHjqELrHWA_htOwsSndc/s1600/powerlines4.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 285px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWBdvHD9iehGZYv8XPVZobQcohmMfEZOZw-r2X9eoFKfefJrn7AVHpZiYBIg6gyfx5MwJvaZztKJRKKfVgIKTA2qIs-Zh8GGuprs5kHxny63Ox7BFHoLRnziQVHHjqELrHWA_htOwsSndc/s320/powerlines4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521687019213108850" /></a><br /><br />WorldNetDaily<br /><br /> <br /><br />House planned defense against 'malicious acts' using shock wave<br /><br /><br />Posted: August 07, 2010<br />12:30 am Eastern<br /><br /><br /> <br />By Bob Unruh<br />© 2010 WorldNetDaily<br /><br /> <br /><br />The U.S. Senate has dropped a House-approved plan that would prepare the United States to defend itself from an attack from any electromagnetic pulse source – whether it would be from a natural solar flare or the detonation of a space-located nuclear weapon by enemies intent on destroying America's infrastructure, according to a representative who has raised alarms over EMP.<br /><br /><br /><br />U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md., said it is "unfortunate."<br /><br />"While one part of the federal government was warning us of possible solar electromagnetic-pulse damage to our electric grid, a key Senate commission approved a bill to ignore this threat," he said.<br /><br />Do you want to keep up on the EMP threat? Subscribe to the publication that broke the story in 2004 – Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.<br /><br />"It's particularly ironic since the Senate amended a bill, H.R. 5026, approved unanimously by the House that would specifically protect the grid against solar EMP and other physical threats," he said.<br /> <br /><br />WND has reported for years on the devastating danger from an EMP attack that could be launched by a second-rate missile system against America.<br /><br />The concern is that any nuclear detonation that could be launched into the atmosphere anywhere from 25 to 250 miles above the United States could decimate the nation's electric grid, essentially transporting it instantly back to an era of mechanical machines and agriculture.<br /><br />One estimate just months ago suggested an effective EMP attack could leave 9 out of 10 Americans dead.<br /><br />Bartlett explained that the danger also comes from naturally occurring EMP signals from sources such as a solar storm.<br /><br />Just in the past few days, the Space Weather Prediction Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued several alerts concerning a sun flare that happened. The alert forecast a "Coronal Mass Ejection" from the sun would impact the earth.<br /><br />Then, a short time later, Fox News reported the storm caused "a fantastic light show in North America" and the NOAA estimated the impact ranged from minor to moderate.<br /><br />"The National Academies of Sciences predicted in a 2008 report that a solar geomagnetic storm as severe as the Carrington event that occurred in 1859 could inflict $1 trillion to $2 trillion [damage] and take 4-10 years to recover from. That compares with the $300 billion impact of Hurricane Katrina," Bartlett noted.<br /><br />Another report from NASA estimated such a cosmic "superstorm" could cause as much damage as "20 Katrinas."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-4106735-10363188" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.nitro-pak.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><br /><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-4106735-10363188" width="234" height="60" alt="Nitro-Pak Ultimate Pak Freeze-Dried Food" border="0"/></a><br /><br />Whether the damage would come from a natural solar event or a nuclear bomb detonated in the atmosphere over America, the results could be the same for power distributors, telecommunications companies, satellite and aviation-sector companies – a virtual shutdown.<br /><br />The results for Americans would be a collapse in the delivery system for food, fuel, information and communications.<br /><br />Bartlett noted EMP from a severe solar geomagnetic storm in 1989 shut down the electric grid in Quebec, and he cited a 2008 study from NASA that found the storm caused $2 billion in damage.<br /><br />Among its many other impacts, it destroyed a transformer at a nuclear plant in New Jersey, Bartlett's report said.<br /><br />Even so, Bartlett said, yesterday the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee decided to dump the House plan, H.R. 5026, which directed "the Secretary to establish a program to develop technical expertise in the protection of systems for the generation, transmission and distribution of electric energy against either geomagnetic storms or malicious acts using electronic communications or electromagnetic pulse."<br /><br />Instead, adopted was a Senate plan, S. 1462, which instead promotes "clean energy."<br /><br />"H.R. 5026 had been approved unanimously by the House on June 9, 2010, and previously by the House Energy and Commerce Committee 47-0. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee's version of H.R. 5026 doesn't include physical threats to the grid such as electromagnetic pulse," Bartlett reported.<br /><br />"It's a big IF, but IF the Senate approves EITHER an energy bill OR a cybersecurity bill that includes grid-security provisions, there could be a conference to reconcile differences between the Senate and the House version of H.R. 5026," he said.<br /><br />The Senate's substitution for the House security provision is "to provide financial support for deploying clean-energy technologies."<br /><br />It also requires the assembly of "a renewable-energy credit-trading program and an energy-efficiency credit-trading program, under which utilities will submit credits to comply. ..."<br /><br />The House plan concerned itself with "emergency measure" to protect the reliability of the nation's grid.<br /><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-4106735-10800974" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.efoodsdirect.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><br /><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-4106735-10800974" width="340" height="120" alt="Time for fun in the sun!" border="0"/></a><br /><br />WND reported previously when Bartlett warned such an attack virtually is inevitable.<br /><br />At that time, he said, while cyber-attacks are a concern, a "really robust [nuclear] EMP lay-down means microelectronics across the country would be shut down [and] you have no power ... there's one event that we will not avoid, and that is a solar electromagnetic interference, solar storm. If we have a big one like the one that occurred back in 1859, that would shut down the whole grid for quite a long while. … It would cost about $100 million to protect much of the grid, but if the grid went down, it would cost us between $1 trillion and $2 trillion in damages, and the loss of life could be horrendous if in fact you were without electricity for months at a time."<br /><br />William R. Graham, chairman of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack and the former national science adviser to President Reagan, had testified before the Congress and issued an alarming report on "one of a small number of threats that can hold our society at risk of catastrophic consequences."<br /><br />He identified vulnerabilities in the nation's critical infrastructures that "are essential to both our civilian and military capabilities."<br /><br />Not taking the steps necessary to reduce the threat "can both invite and reward attack," Graham told the members of Congress at the time.<br /><br />EMP is a pulse of energy that can be produced from nonnuclear sources, such as electromagnetic bombs. Some experts claim an electromagnetic-pulse shock wave can be produced by a device small enough to fit in a briefcase. But the most threatening and terrifying type of EMP attack could come following a blast from a nuclear weapon 25 to 250 miles above the Earth's surface. Like a swift stroke of lightning, EMP could immediately disrupt and damage all electronic systems and America's electrical infrastructure. A detonation over the middle of the continental U.S. "has the capability to produce significant damage to critical infrastructures that support the fabric of U.S. society and the ability of the United States and Western nations to project influence and military power," said Graham.<br /><br />"Several potential adversaries have the capability to attack the United States with a high-altitude nuclear-weapon-generated electromagnetic pulse, and others appear to be pursuing efforts to obtain that capability," said Graham. "A determined adversary can achieve an EMP attack capability without having a high level of sophistication. For example, an adversary would not have to have long-range ballistic missiles to conduct an EMP attack against the United States. Such an attack could be launched from a freighter off the U.S. coast using a short- or medium-range missile to loft a nuclear warhead to high altitude. Terrorists sponsored by a rogue state could attempt to execute such an attack without revealing the identity of the perpetrators. Iran, the world's leading sponsor of international terrorism, has practiced launching a mobile ballistic missile from a vessel in the Caspian Sea. Iran has also tested high-altitude explosions of the Shahab-III, a test mode consistent with EMP attack, and described the tests as successful. Iranian military writings explicitly discuss a nuclear EMP attack that would gravely harm the United States. While the commission does not know the intention of Iran in conducting these activities, we are disturbed by the capability that emerges when we connect the dots."<br /><br />An EMP assault could prove devastating because of the unprecedented cascading failures of major infrastructures that could result. Because of America's heavy reliance on electricity and electronics, the impact would be far worse than on a country less advanced technologically. Graham and the commission see the potential for failure in the financial system, the system of distribution for food and water, medical care and trade and production.<br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br />Related offers:Do you want to keep up on the EMP threat?

They also learned how to plan for evacuation and reunite with family members who might not be home at the time disaster strikes. Each person attending received a copy of the Disaster and Emergency Preparedness Handbook, published by the Churches of Scientology Disaster Response San Diego chapter.<br /><br />The seminar also included a presentation by the Department of Animal Control and Humane Society on how to care for pets and ensure their safety in times of emergency.<br /><br />David Meyer, President of the Church of Scientology of San Diego, acknowledged the community-wide effort to bring vital information to local citizens. “When we all work together we can improve the quality of life for all, just as we did during the 2007 San Diego fire storms,” he said. “Our Founder, L. Ron Hubbard, gave the Volunteer Ministers the motto ‘Something can be done about it.’ We are very pleased to be part of this initiative.”<br /><br />For more information on the Churches of Scientology Disaster Response, visit the Scientology Volunteer Ministers web site at http://www.volunteerministers.org.<br /><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-4106735-10800974" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.efoodsdirect.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><br /><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-4106735-10800974" width="340" height="120" alt="Time for fun in the sun!" border="0"/></a><br />Related Disaster Preparedness Articlesdollyghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08687396654469086682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079938801703623425.post-41820521354459015142010-09-27T12:57:00.000-07:002010-09-27T13:00:17.744-07:00Don't Neglect Emergency Preparedness Supplies For Your Car<br /><br />You know you need to put together an emergency preparedness kit but where do you start? How about a kit for your car to start off with. This way you at least have something to work with and you can build from there. You should make sure your spare tire is in good shape and has air in it, many times the spare will loose air over time leaving you with an under inflated danger.<br /><br />Get a good flashlight so you can see if your changing a tire at night or you just need to look around. In addition to your spare get one of those canisters you can fill your flat tire with. This could be used if you are somewhere you don't want to spend time changing your tire at. Insert the cans contents into your flat and it should be enough to get you somewhere safer.<br /><br />Definitely add a first-aid kit to your car. You can start with the basics like band-aids, ointments and such. Have some water bottles that you can keep in the car along with some snack food in case you are stranded somewhere. If it's winter and it's freezing add more blankets to your vehicle and spare jackets, leave these in the car till the weather warms up again. You don't want to break down along the roadside and freeze waiting for help.<br /><br />Just think about your surroundings and where you mostly drive and do your preparations with that thought. You can never have too much stuff on hand when you are supplying your vehicle. If it was a backpack you have limited space to deal with.<br /> <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/m3117js0ys-FKHGMNJLFHGKMIGOI" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.nitro-pak.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><br /><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/kd116fz2rxvGLIHNOKMGIHLNJHPJ" alt="AAA Explorer Road Kit" border="0"/></a><br /><br />Related Emergency Preparedness Articlesdollyghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08687396654469086682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079938801703623425.post-36203750580765734882010-09-27T12:38:00.000-07:002010-09-27T12:42:49.134-07:00Food Storage Companies are Entering Network Marketing<br /><br />Although almost every kind of products are available through network marketing (MLM or multi-level marketing), there are some newcomers to the industry these days aside from the many cosmetics, vitamins, nutritional drinks, travel, long distance phone service, and other types of companies which already exist. Emergency preparedness and food storage companies have joined the area of MLM.<br /><br /><br />Network marketing or MLM allows people to own their own business for a nominal start up fee as compared to regular brick and mortar businesses. It also provides a compensation plan which pays the person for bringing others into the business to share in the work and the profits. The people in several lines downward or sideways may bring cash earnings to the person who brought them into the business. They earn money from the efforts of others instead of only on their own work.<br /><br /><br />During these bad economic times when many people throughout the world are suffering and with the natural disasters which are striking whole communities, people are seeing the value of emergency preparedness and food storage. As grocery store shelves become quickly depleted when a natural calamity hits, it becomes apparent that families would do well to be prepared with some basic essentials.<br /><br /><br />Some organizations and churches have long admonished their members to prepare themselves for emergencies and disasters. Indeed, the motto of the Boy Scouts of America is: "Be Prepared."<br /><br /><br />The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which has received quite a lot of press in the past several years because of all the natural disasters such as Katrina which have hit the United States, recommends that people have enough food, water, and first aid for three days. If a natural disaster strikes, it usually takes at least three days before government and charitable aid is able to help sufficiently.<br /><br /><br />The bad economy has caused people to lose jobs and paychecks for long periods of time. Getting government or charitable help is not always easy or quick. Having a supply of food on hand (or food storage) can help alleviate the pain and suffering which can come. Companies which provide this service are now available in network marketing. Plans can be made through them to build up a food supply for emergencies by a small investment each month from the food budget. They are helping people to be prepared for whatever comes.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-4106735-10800974" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.efoodsdirect.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><br /><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-4106735-10800974" width="340" height="120" alt="Time for fun in the sun!" border="0"/></a>dollyghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08687396654469086682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079938801703623425.post-35363306417426038792010-09-27T11:52:00.000-07:002010-09-27T12:12:40.255-07:00When Relief Operations OverwhelmedThe principal challenge in any emergency following a natural disaster comprises providing immediate relief support to the worst affected populations. In practically all of the cases, the vulnerable groups disproportionately affected by natural disasters are the women and children. Lest we forget, the elderly were not spared and suffered equally in these situations. Humanitarian assistance hence has to focus on attending to the greatest needs including food, water, sanitation, and public health. Inordinate delays will exacerbate the crisis, propelling such situations into another full grown disaster. A fresh review of the experiential lessons learned in recent natural calamities will put this subject in a better disaster management perspective. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/i1103ft1zt0GLIHNOKMGIHOMONIK" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.efoodsdirect.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><br /><img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/3e81o26v0zKPMLRSOQKMLSQSRMO" alt="Start YOUR Food Savings Account" border="0"/></a><br /><br />The series of disasters in Asia over the past six months underscored the need for greater preparedness. In many instances, when nature vents its fury, it cuts a disastrous path across borders, leaving catastrophic devastation in countries affected. 26th September 2009 saw tropical storm Ketsana tore through Philippines, killing at least 292 people and affecting another three million. Ketsana barreled through Philippines to Vietnam, Cambodia, and also Laos, leaving in its wake damage and destruction including the death toll. In Vietnam more than 170,000 homes were flooded while in the Quang Nam province 6,300 houses were destroyed. The impact on the world’s second largest rice exporter can best be illustrated through scenes of thousands of farm animals dead and almost 50,000 hectares damaged. <br /> <br />Then on 29th September the Pacific islands of Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga were battered by a tsunami. Earthquakes struck the city of Padang, Western Sumatra with at least 1,100 people killed. Philippines again received another blow with the arrival of typhoon Parma in October. Relief efforts were thus stretched with field operations spread out at different areas/countries requiring almost simultaneous emergency humanitarian assistance. <br /><br />At the peak of the Ketsana emergency response in the Philippines, the UN World Food Program had to rapidly expand its relief operations to provide one million people with food and other vital supplies. In the Philippines’ experience, Ketsana caught rescuers and emergency response team off-guard. With the typhoon rushing in on a weekend, emergency response grounded to a slow pace, and coordination being stuck since government offices were closed. To top it all, emergency and relief workers were trapped in their own homes. <br /> <br />With much of the suburban areas remained waterlogged logistical problems delayed relief efforts. Access for delivery of assistance was impeded with much of eastern manila immersed in knee-deep mud and out of reach. Faced with the logistical problems, relief items dwindled fast within just three days of the floods. Food and water supplies were inadequate. As such many people have to endure hunger and pain waiting for humanitarian assistance. At the evacuation centers there were scenes of long lines of hungry and tired flood survivors. Manila’s health infrastructure were substantially destroyed, the full magnitude of the disaster simply overwhelmed emergency response capabilities. A general appeal went out to the private medical and health services to assist survivors especially the children cope with post traumatic stress. Beleaguered by the enormity of the calamity the situation forced Philippines President Gloria Arroyo to appeal for international assistance on 28th September. <br /><br />The challenges were enormous. After Ketsana’s onslaught, the resulting floods, the worst in decades shattered many infrastructural facilities. Toilets at emergency centers overflowed, water supply and power still knocked out, and piles of rotting rubbish abound. The capital Manila and the suburbs were under threat from disease outbreaks. In one of the worst hit areas, only three battered portable toilets were installed for more than 3,000 flood survivors. Administrators of some schools turned into emergency centres had to padlock bathrooms since the toilets had clogged posing hazards to occupants sleeping on the grounds with only cardboard matting. (i) <br /><br />Just two days after Ketsana pummeled the northern island of Luzon and Metro Manila, rescuers and relief workers were pushed to the limit. Maintaining basic standard of sanitation remains challenging. As flood waters recede, piles of rubbish and debris appeared everywhere. <br /> <br /> By then almost half a million were affected and 116,000 already moved to 200 evacuation centers. The ensuing floods wiped out entire villages, particularly the poor communities in the low-lying areas along river banks and tributaries. In all, more than 2.5 million people were affected. The numbers alone were mind boggling. As the days went by, those evacuated increased to 700,000 people and the number of evacuation centres went up to 700 scattered around Manila. <br />Health officials reported about 80 per cent of Manila’s health infrastructure was destroyed. Even many of the state hospitals were forced to evacuate. Threats from water borne diseases including diarrhea reached alarming levels.(ii) <br /> <br />The consequent devastation and loss of life in the Philippines from typhoon Ketsana portends of future events influenced by extreme weather disasters brought about by climate change. The sheer magnitude of the disaster and its intensity were obviously overwhelming. To undertake the massive relief operations, the Philippines government appealed for international humanitarian assistance. (iii) “With more than 20 typhoons hitting the country every year whatever progress is made in handling disasters get eroded in the cyclical onslaughts. It’s not for the lack of both preparation and mitigation measures, yet the subsequent rounds of disasters still leave a major impact. The destruction and high death tolls persist. For the survivors, they felt it was like they are back to zero". (iv)<br /> <br />The barrage of natural disasters that hit the Asian Pacific region, and the cross border impact of these disasters posed a grim reminder that emergency preparedness cannot withstand intense wide-ranging devastation without efforts involving full collaboration, cooperation and coordination of regional stakeholders. <br /><br />References:- <br /><br />(i) IRIN.

During an earthquake, one can feel vibration of the ground, noise which progressively grows louder, swaying sensation etc. Most injuries and deaths from earthquake are due to falling objects and debris, especially near the entry and exit points. Knowing how an earthquake can affect you and planning to deal with it beforehand can greatly reduce the chances of injury and death.<br /><br />Emergency preparedness for an earthquake involves discussing with your family about steps to take when an earthquake occurs. When people are filled with panic and fear during an earthquake, they tend to act in an improper way. Planning to deal with an earthquake before it occurs can enable your family to act in the best possible way when the earthquake strikes.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Here are the top 10 emergency preparedness tips for an earthquak</span>e:<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Know the safe spots in your home:</span> Safe spots are those places where there is a minimal chance of an object and debris falling from above. Some examples of safe spots are hallways, archways, room corners, spots under <span style="font-weight:bold;">heavy</span> tables, desks etc. Beside a bed or couch. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Practice Safety Drills With Your Family:</span> Safety drills are the actions one has to take during an earthquake. Some of the safety drills you can practice with your family are - getting under heavy table or desk; crouch beside a bed or couch; covering one's face with arms; staying clear of places where objects can fall; standing or crouching in safe spots, corners, and strongly supported doorways.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Evacuation Plans:</span> An evacuation plan enables your family to escape during the first signs of emergency. You can discuss and come up with a sketch of an evacuation plan for your house. You can also include a second evacuation plan. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Repair:</span> Leaky gas connections, improper electrical wiring and defective utility services can be hazardous during emergency. So, make sure you repair such problems in your home by seeking professional help. Anchor the appliances, fixtures: <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Anchor</span> the appliances such as refrigerator, gas equipment, furnace, water heater etc. firmly to the wall. Overhead lightning fixtures should also be anchored. This will minimize the falling of objects during an earthquake. Put Heavy Objects in Lower shelves: Heavy objects, breakables such as china, glass etc. should be placed in lower shelves. This will prevent them from falling and causing injuries during an earthquake. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Make a list of important information</span>: Write down important such as important telephone numbers, vehicle numbers, medications list, bank account numbers etc. and put them in a secure place. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Make a priority List:</span> Make a priority list which details the actions to be done when an earthquake strikes. Your list can include important things to carry such as food, utilities etc., turning off utilities, locking doors, using fire extinguisher etc. Store Important Documents: Store important documents such as insurance policies, education certificates, birth certificates, wills etc. in a fire-proof safe. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Ensure your home has stable foundation:</span> Make sure your home has a strong foundation.

Generally, contingency planning is defined as "an anticipatory emergency preparation to be followed in an anticipated or eventual disaster, based on risk assessment, availability of human and material resources, community preparedness, local and international response capability, etc". That definition sets the framework as we put on our thinking hats on. As we brace ourselves for the oncoming monsoon rains and the potential for floods again, the question at the back of our minds will be - how do we set up for the worst? Jointly and severally, all the stakeholders involved with disaster management need to come up with a contingency plan on how to deal with and minimize the risks of these natural disasters to lives and properties. <br /><br />Contingency planning sessions could construct mitigating measures to control damage on development through such natural calamities. Lessons learned in preceding disaster response operations could provide the basic guidelines in ensuring present contingency plans are on the desirable track. Following completion of the contingency plan, as soon as disaster strikes, the event triggers operation of the contingency plan itself which has been formulated with agreed upon common strategy. (i) Over the years, there has been a paradigm shift in disaster management from disaster response to disaster risk reduction, reflected in the proactive action prior to the arrival of the calamity. In developing contingency plans, worst case scenarios are worked on to meet needs for planning ahead for calamity risk reduction.<br /><br />Red Cross and Red Crescent societies through their mandate and humanitarian assistance principles are periodically drawn into managing severe emergencies including natural disasters. In ensuring organizational readiness and that adequate arrangements are made in anticipation of an emergency, the common management tool comprise response and contingency planning. Well thought out planning could greatly assist in ensuring rapid and effective delivery of resource needs of whatever disasters wherever that may be.<br /><br /> <br />In order to realize a satisfactory level of preparedness for timely and effective response to a natural disaster, disaster response plan entails identifying disaster risks, vulnerabilities, impact, organizational resources and capacities. It further involves determining roles and responsibilities, and formulating policies and procedures and planning activities. This is at the broader perspective and it allows identifying gaps and needs. Contingency planning focus more on addressing the responses and actions geared for specific disaster scenarios. (ii) <br /><br /><br />Since contingency planning deals with individual specific events which are known risks at the local, national or regional levels, formulation necessitate the involvement of stakeholders at the associated levels. Contingency plans mesh well with operations management in terms of handling anticipated resource requirements, available resources, and shortfalls or gaps.<br /> <br />With extreme weather disasters becoming the emerging feature this decade, and the horrific experience of Typhoon Morakot (Philippines, Taiwan) and the Istanbul flash floods still fresh in our minds, any flood risks alert should not be taken with a pinch of salt. Preparedness warrants that expecting the worst i.E. Flood prone areas expected to have higher that normal risk of flooding in different places and at greater magnitude than previous experience. Scenarios developed for the possible natural disaster will indicate the potential impact of such event. Flooding, for instance, often destroys houses and other properties resulting in the displacement of the flood affected population. Hence contingency planning could anticipate both food and non-food relief provision to alleviate human suffering resulting from the displacements. Those displaced suffer loss of household belongings and assets to the floods. Contingency plans look into emergency shelter requirements with the objective of protecting those affected from avoidable risks and vulnerabilities from the elements.(iv)<br /><br />References:<br /><br />(i) PDCC Kalinga approves disaster contingency plan. 12 Jun 2009.
