As the world has become more globalized, we have all become heavily dependent on a well-oiled, seamlessly functioning system to keep our busy lives afloat. We have become fully reliant on having well stocked stores close by to fulfill our basic necessities and meet our daily needs. A gap in this highly effective and efficient supply chain of food, water and electricity is but a major natural disaster away.
We have become too comfortable in our own reliance on this system, with many dismissing the need to prepare and store supplies required to keep their family protected in an emergency. The blackout of 2003, Hurricane Katrina and the recent tragic Earthquake in Haiti is a sign for all of us to make our own efforts to prepare for the worst so that in times of need, we have the ability to help others.
With the uncertainty of the consistency of environmental conditions due to climate change, the call to prepare is now greater than ever.
