... “Research on the preparedness of individual households tells us that the dismal projections of personal preparedness recorded in survey after survey over the last two decades suggests probably even less preparedness than reported.” In 2014, a FEMA survey found that nearly half of Americans say preparedness is “not on their radar” at all, and only 14% claim that it’s an essential part of their lives....
FEMA has the same problem we do. Everyone I talk to agrees that preparedness is a good idea. And they all say that someday they'll get around to doing it.
I try to tell people to start small. The next time they need flashlight batteries, buy the large econ0my pack and store the extra ones away. Need a can of beef stew? But two instead. You're not spending a whole lot more, and you're getting started on your preparedness program.
How many of them are actually doing that? I don't know, but I suspect I'm not doing much better than FEMA is.
Onward and upward,
