Disaster Prep Guide: 18 Scenarios You Must Be Ready For

WEBVTT
00:00:02.424 --> 00:00:10.160
Imagine sirens piercing the night as disasters strike without mercy or the chilling silence of power grid failure.
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:28.707
At least six distinct 100-year flood events or rarer in the case of Chicago were documented in the US in 2025, occurring in Texas, West Virginia, Illinois, North Carolina and New Mexico, along with over 3,600 flash flood warnings issued by the National Weather Service.
00:00:28.707 --> 00:00:43.993
Disasters have ravaged America with delayed aid, leaving survivors like Delmas Williams, who said the water rose so quickly during Hurricane Helene that, in minutes, four feet of water stood in his home, prompting the family to be rescued in canoes.
00:00:43.993 --> 00:00:51.793
We've assembled a guide that details protective actions for 18 types of hazards, from active shooters to winter storms.
00:00:51.793 --> 00:00:54.947
We're helping you prepare for whatever life throws at you.
00:00:54.947 --> 00:00:57.832
This disaster-prepared this month, 2025.
00:00:57.832 --> 00:00:59.649
Through a three-part series.
00:00:59.932 --> 00:01:02.304
So let's get started, Hi friends.
00:01:02.304 --> 00:01:04.331
Welcome to the new normal Big Life podcast.
00:01:04.331 --> 00:01:06.403
Let's get started, Hi friends.
00:01:06.403 --> 00:01:07.367
Welcome to the New Normal Big Life podcast.
00:01:07.367 --> 00:01:16.903
We bring you natural news and stories about nature that we hope will inspire you to get outside and adventure, along with the step-by-step plan to help you practice what you've learned and create your own new normal and live the biggest life you can dream.
00:01:16.903 --> 00:01:19.569
I'm your host, Antoinette Lee, the wellness warrior.
00:01:19.569 --> 00:01:22.543
So let's dive in to today's important topic.
00:01:22.543 --> 00:01:32.852
Picture the terror of sirens blaring as winds howl and water surge, or the chilling silence of the power grid failure plunging your world into darkness.
00:01:33.459 --> 00:01:50.492
Since 2020, America has suffered over 115 billion dollar disasters a relentless barrage that has displaced millions and claimed countless lives, with supply chain woes and FEMA's ineffective response amplifying the agony by delaying essential aid.
00:01:50.492 --> 00:01:58.691
In North Carolina's 2024 Hurricane Helene floods, resident Andy Fife waded through chest-high waters to rescue neighbors recounting.
00:01:58.691 --> 00:02:00.742
The river rose so fast.
00:02:00.742 --> 00:02:02.087
It was like a wall of water.
00:02:02.087 --> 00:02:03.792
We lost everything in hours.
00:02:03.792 --> 00:02:04.820
It was like a wall of water.
00:02:04.820 --> 00:02:05.441
We lost everything in hours.
00:02:05.460 --> 00:02:18.151
Relief from FEMA often lagged, taking days or weeks as priorities focused on densely populated zones, leaving rural families fending for themselves amid contaminated water, social unrest and disease risks.
00:02:18.151 --> 00:02:33.861
Similarly, during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, survivor Allison Good endured six feet of flood water in her home, waiting a week for federal help.
00:02:33.861 --> 00:02:35.365
We were stranded on rooftops begging for water.
00:02:35.365 --> 00:02:35.786
The delay cost lives.
00:02:35.786 --> 00:02:51.711
Rebuilding owned homes averages two years for funding, approval ballooning to six to ten years for full recovery, while low-income renters face 4 to 6 percent rent hikes, evictions and scarce housing options, pushing many into prolonged homelessness.
00:02:51.711 --> 00:02:57.086
After a disaster In Colorado's 2020 Cameron Peak fire.
00:02:57.086 --> 00:02:59.252
Emily Fisher fled flames with her family.
00:02:59.252 --> 00:03:04.772
The sky was apocalyptic when we ran six miles with nothing but our lives.
00:03:04.772 --> 00:03:07.889
Trauma lingers years later, she said.
00:03:07.889 --> 00:03:12.229
These harrowing accounts reveal a stark truth.
00:03:12.229 --> 00:03:17.812
Government aid isn't guaranteed or immediate and your insurance company may fail you.
00:03:18.561 --> 00:03:30.820
During my 11 years in the Army as an air assault qualified expert, field medic, infection control and disease prevention officer and other medical and dental leadership roles, I was tasked with supporting FEMA relief efforts.
00:03:30.820 --> 00:03:36.233
I also worked on a FEMA project as a technology contractor after my military service.
00:03:36.233 --> 00:03:42.853
My experience with FEMA taught me to never rely on this agency to save me and my family.
00:03:42.853 --> 00:03:52.924
Before we cover the next topic in this episode, I want to introduce you to the adventure sports lifestyle with what I call a micro story about an adventure that I've had.
00:03:52.924 --> 00:03:58.063
The adventure sports lifestyle and my deep connection to nature is essential to my good health.
00:03:58.063 --> 00:03:59.486
So here's the story.
00:04:01.210 --> 00:04:19.706
So many people think they want to live in a camper van, an RV, a tiny home or a cabin, like I do in the woods, but many never consider the skills, the tools, the logistics and the problem-solving skills you need to survive in very rural places where getting to a shopping center is a journey.
00:04:19.706 --> 00:04:26.180
There's no police department and first responders warn that it might take more than an hour to get to you in an emergency.
00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:37.446
There is one public service when you're very rural Road maintenance and you could be stranded by snow, without power during winter storms we are routinely.
00:04:37.446 --> 00:04:48.875
My advice is, if you're thinking about moving rural, you need to start developing the skills you'll need to survive in remote locations before taking the plunge.
00:04:48.875 --> 00:04:51.800
We thought we were very prepared.
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:59.975
We previously lived on the edge of town in a small town in northern Colorado, where the dirt road met the paved road.
00:04:59.975 --> 00:05:01.826
We were super outdoorsy.
00:05:01.826 --> 00:05:03.807
We camped for weeks at a time.
00:05:03.807 --> 00:05:04.807
We were super outdoorsy.
00:05:04.807 --> 00:05:06.369
We camped for weeks at a time.
00:05:06.369 --> 00:05:22.855
We do high intensity adventure sports like whitewater kayaking, and we know that we are in remote places where survival is left up to us, because in some cases even a helicopter can't get to you.
00:05:22.855 --> 00:05:33.168
And still, there was a lot we were not ready for and had to learn on the fly when we move into our cabin two years ago.
00:05:33.168 --> 00:05:37.783
So I don't want to discourage you from taking the plunge.
00:05:37.783 --> 00:05:54.963
In fact, I hope this inspires you to cautiously enter living the adventure sports lifestyle full-time, like we do, either alone with a friend or the people you love most, but do it very carefully and prepare, prepare, prepare in advance.
00:05:55.343 --> 00:05:58.372
Now back to the show where we're talking about disaster preparedness.
00:05:58.372 --> 00:06:06.959
Here are the issues with relying on FEMA.
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:19.831
When I was working with FEMA as a Army specialist on my first assignment and in later years as an Army Staff Sergeant I want to give a shout out to the Staff Sergeant Mafia.
00:06:19.831 --> 00:06:26.812
You know what I mean FEMA never had adequate supplies available to support the number of people impacted.
00:06:26.812 --> 00:06:35.702
Relief support practices rely on having power and access to technology, which are non-existent or in short supply.
00:06:35.702 --> 00:06:53.324
During a disaster, More people need help than there are helpers, and FEMA often gets in the way of volunteer organizations that are more agile and efficient at providing search and rescue and disaster relief, and there's no guarantee that FEMA will provide relief in your area.
00:06:55.086 --> 00:07:01.103
So, finally, the most disturbing event I witnessed was how FEMA used military support.
00:07:01.103 --> 00:07:06.233
I thought I would provide rescue and recovery, medical and dental aid.
00:07:06.233 --> 00:07:16.507
Instead, we essentially had to give away supplies meant for our army soldiers, because we couldn't bear to watch residents suffer with no supplies available locally.
00:07:16.507 --> 00:07:19.233
We also never provided aid.
00:07:19.233 --> 00:07:21.444
Instead, we provided security.
00:07:21.444 --> 00:07:27.884
Essentially, we were tasked with keeping poor people out of wealthier neighborhoods and business districts.
00:07:27.884 --> 00:07:49.949
This occurred during every storm relief effort that I supported throughout my 11 years of service, and we all learned that Hurricane Katrina survivors and their families who were air quotes lucky enough to receive a FEMA trailer to live in after the storm, developed rare cancers because the trailers contained off-gassing of toxic chemicals.
00:07:51.132 --> 00:07:56.165
Knowing this would you trust your family's safety, security and health to this system?
00:07:56.165 --> 00:08:00.242
This is why I encourage you to plan to be self-reliant.
00:08:00.242 --> 00:08:23.927
Since beginning my journey into short-term and long-term self-reliance in 2018, I've survived three wildfires surrounding the Colorado community where we used to live, three blizzards that damaged our home and left us in the dark for a week at a time in the Midwest, and survived two flood seasons while living in a very rural community with no public services.
00:08:23.927 --> 00:08:32.056
While living in a very rural community with no public services, I'm going to teach you much of what my family and I use to keep ourselves safe during an emergency and while adventuring.
00:08:32.056 --> 00:08:42.990
The one assignment where FEMA excelled is that it's created a thorough guide detailing alerts and protective actions to act swiftly when seconds count.
00:08:42.990 --> 00:08:59.743
Building on self-reliance from books like the Amish Ways, the Prepper's Survival Bible and no Grid Survival Projects, this three-part series dives into these tactics, blending expert advice with my real-world experience other people's stories.
00:09:00.043 --> 00:09:03.952
To urge you to prepare now or risk everything.
00:09:03.952 --> 00:09:07.774
To urge you to prepare now or risk everything.
00:09:07.774 --> 00:09:13.019
Fema's protective actions will cover 18 hazards.
00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:15.951
So here we go.
00:09:15.951 --> 00:09:21.322
Alerts will come to you as advisories.
00:09:21.322 --> 00:09:25.657
For example, which, if you get an alert that says advisory, that means it's providing you with early awareness.
00:09:25.657 --> 00:09:27.346
If you get an alert that says advisory, that means it's providing you with early awareness.
00:09:27.346 --> 00:09:32.894
If you get an alert that says watches, that means there's a possible threat.
00:09:32.894 --> 00:09:38.649
When you receive a warning, it means a threat of danger is imminent.
00:09:38.649 --> 00:09:41.294
Ignoring them can be fatal.
00:09:41.294 --> 00:09:50.181
Them can be fatal.
00:09:50.181 --> 00:09:52.005
When we have an advisory, we start preparing certain things that are perishable.
00:09:52.005 --> 00:10:10.471
Like you can only store water that we get from our well and put through a purification system into five gallon containers for a period of time before you need to dump it, which we use to water trees around our property and refill your containers.
00:10:10.471 --> 00:10:18.173
So there are certain actions you'll need to take and we'll cover this in Part 2 of Disaster Preparedness.
00:10:19.520 --> 00:10:24.139
Stats show that these 18 occurrences are not rare.
00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:29.565
They're increasingly common, demanding immediate response and preparedness to survive.
00:10:29.565 --> 00:10:33.131
So number one is active shooter Likelihood.
00:10:33.131 --> 00:10:42.179
This is not in order of the possibility that it will happen, just in order of the way that I listed it in my document.
00:10:42.179 --> 00:10:45.090
In fact, I think I might have done it alphabetically.
00:10:45.090 --> 00:10:53.200
So active shooter the likelihood is high in public spaces, with more than 50 incidents yearly.
00:10:53.200 --> 00:11:07.962
The concern is sudden violence causing mass casualties, and what you need to do to protect yourself or the protective actions is run away if possible, hide if not possible to run, fight as a last resort.
00:11:07.962 --> 00:11:15.105
A survivor from the 2022 Buffalo shooting said I hid under a counter as shots rang out.
00:11:15.105 --> 00:11:16.368
Training saved me.
00:11:16.368 --> 00:11:23.206
There have been many incidents where a trained member of the public stopped an active shooter using their concealed firearm.
00:11:23.206 --> 00:11:28.274
Hopefully, your state allows ordinary citizens to protect themselves and others.
00:11:28.274 --> 00:11:36.113
Talk with your friends and family about what to do and practice your reaction so that it'll be second nature to you.
00:11:36.393 --> 00:11:40.568
In an emergency there's fight, flight, freeze or fawn.
00:11:40.568 --> 00:11:42.605
Fawn is begging for your life.
00:11:42.605 --> 00:11:44.793
Don't hurt me, Please stop.
00:11:44.793 --> 00:11:46.539
Don't hurt me, Please stop, Don't hurt me.
00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:58.672
Most people nowadays will either fawn, beg for their life or freeze in an emergency, or there needs to be another category They'll pull out their phone and start recording it.
00:11:58.672 --> 00:12:16.147
The fight or flight response is often delayed In order to prevent yourself from trying to beg someone not to harm you or to freeze and not take any action.
00:12:16.147 --> 00:12:29.998
If that doesn't come natural to you, like it does come naturally to me, then you need to train A person like me who my natural response is to fight or flight.
00:12:29.998 --> 00:12:37.246
I don't have to train as much, but I still train on what will I do in an emergency scenario.
00:12:39.191 --> 00:12:40.394
Number two is avalanche.
00:12:40.394 --> 00:12:42.221
It affects 30 US states.
00:12:42.221 --> 00:12:49.023
There are more than a thousand avalanche events every year and the concern is being buried alive in snow.
00:12:49.023 --> 00:12:57.423
So the actions you want to take are move sideways to where the avalanche is falling and also protect your head.
00:12:57.423 --> 00:13:05.529
Use a beacon if you're going to be in areas where avalanches occur, so that rescuers can find you quickly.
00:13:05.529 --> 00:13:10.397
And a Colorado survivor said this the snow hit like a truck.
00:13:10.397 --> 00:13:12.596
I swam to stay afloat.
00:13:12.596 --> 00:13:22.216
What he means is, as the avalanche was falling on top of him, he was making a swimming action and that kept him on top of the snow.
00:13:22.216 --> 00:13:24.923
Smart strategy, it worked for him.
00:13:24.923 --> 00:13:26.977
I would try that in an emergency.
00:13:27.649 --> 00:13:28.976
Number three is cyber attack.
00:13:28.976 --> 00:13:31.169
There are 2200 daily attacks.
00:13:31.169 --> 00:13:33.716
It's up 84 percent recently.
00:13:33.716 --> 00:13:36.062
The concern is infrastructure shutdown.
00:13:36.062 --> 00:13:46.802
The actions you should take would be if you have a personal cyber attack on your home computer, you want to disconnect your devices and report the incident to authorities.
00:13:46.802 --> 00:13:53.054
Disconnect your devices and report the incident to authorities.
00:13:53.054 --> 00:13:55.480
In 2021, a colonial pipeline victim said gas shortages lasted for weeks.
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.392
Chaos ensued because that company was under cyber attack.
00:13:58.972 --> 00:14:04.596
In a future article and podcast, I'll give you some recommendations to protect yourself from a cyber attack.
00:14:04.596 --> 00:14:09.854
However, keep in mind that cyber attacks on a business or government entity can also affect you.
00:14:09.854 --> 00:14:19.221
It might take essential services like power and water offline, cause digital payment systems to fail and give hackers access to your personal information.
00:14:19.221 --> 00:14:22.662
So keep your password manager locked when you're not using it.
00:14:22.662 --> 00:14:25.572
Don't click on anything if you're not sure of the source.
00:14:25.572 --> 00:14:30.623
And remember hackers are clever at pretending to be a trusted person or entity.
00:14:30.623 --> 00:14:37.984
For example, using AI, they can even mimic your child's voice asking for help or to send them money fast.
00:14:38.970 --> 00:14:40.397
Number four are earthquakes.
00:14:40.397 --> 00:14:47.203
75% of the US is at risk for an earthquake and 16,000 earthquakes occur annually.
00:14:47.203 --> 00:14:51.115
Is at risk for an earthquake and 16,000 earthquakes occur annually.
00:14:51.115 --> 00:14:52.258
The concern is collapsing structures.
00:14:52.258 --> 00:14:57.390
So the actions you want to take are to drop down, cover your head and hold on and avoid doorways.
00:14:57.390 --> 00:15:09.881
So get like under a table, which, in 2024, a California shake survivor said that's exactly what they did they got under the table and held on to their family members.
00:15:12.051 --> 00:15:13.657
Number five is extreme heat.
00:15:13.657 --> 00:15:21.490
Extreme heat kills 1,300 people annually and it's up by 20%.
00:15:21.490 --> 00:15:24.570
The concern is dehydration and heat stroke.
00:15:24.570 --> 00:15:28.298
So the actions you want to take are stay indoors, hydrate.
00:15:28.298 --> 00:15:39.916
You can make some natural electrolytes using lemon in eight ounces of water with a little, maybe two to three pinches of sea salt.
00:15:39.916 --> 00:15:45.534
That's a natural electrolyte that can help keep you hydrated and keep your electrolytes steady.
00:15:45.534 --> 00:15:50.182
You can also wear cool clothing.
00:15:50.182 --> 00:15:54.697
If you have electricity at the time, turn on your AC or fan.
00:15:54.697 --> 00:16:01.339
If you don't have an electric, if you don't have a way to cool down, go to the lake, the river or a cooling station.
00:16:01.339 --> 00:16:06.553
If your home is too hot, a quick dip in the water is a great way to cool off and escape the heat.
00:16:06.553 --> 00:16:16.725
In 2021, Pacific Northwest survivors said temperatures hit 116 degrees and elderly neighbors didn't make it.
00:16:16.725 --> 00:16:19.418
So check on your friends and family.
00:16:20.890 --> 00:16:22.749
Number six is financial emergency.
00:16:22.749 --> 00:16:26.078
It affects 40% of households.
00:16:26.078 --> 00:16:32.522
Post-disaster, the concern is economic ruin, supply chains problems.
00:16:32.522 --> 00:16:36.360
Your place of work may not be open for a while.
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:43.879
So the actions you want to take in advance are to build an emergency fund, review your insurance and make sure you have adequate coverage.
00:16:43.879 --> 00:17:00.638
Keep one month of household expenses in cash in a bank or bank lockbox or a safe Live well below your means to ensure there's money left over each month to invest in your preparedness plans and other emergencies like an auto breakdown.
00:17:00.638 --> 00:17:08.116
A recession survivor said I lost my job overnight, but our savings kept us afloat.
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:11.362
Number seven floods.
00:17:11.362 --> 00:17:15.934
99% of counties in America are affected by floods.
00:17:15.934 --> 00:17:27.636
The concern is drowning, contamination of the water, civil unrest due to looting and violence, and so the actions you want to take are to evacuate to high ground.
00:17:27.636 --> 00:17:30.480
So turn around, don't drown.
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:34.645
North Carolina's Bill Schiller said water destroyed my home.
00:17:34.645 --> 00:17:41.431
We waited days for help.
00:17:41.431 --> 00:17:45.758
This is why we have multiple escape routes out of our home and off our property, to include putting on a personal flotation device and pfd.
00:17:45.758 --> 00:17:48.383
We have pfds for ourselves and the dog.
00:17:48.383 --> 00:17:51.575
We keep them in the house, not in the garage.
00:17:51.575 --> 00:18:00.597
So if there's flood surrounding the home, you, when you step outside, you're wearing a personal flotation device to help you float.
00:18:00.597 --> 00:18:13.941
Even if you know how to swim, you're going to be exhausted from the process of getting to safety and it might make it difficult for you to swim, even if you're a good swimmer.
00:18:13.941 --> 00:18:15.134
So wear your PFD.
00:18:15.134 --> 00:18:21.623
There's a whole episode on New Normal Big Life that tells you how to choose the right PFD for you.
00:18:21.623 --> 00:18:30.824
We have a plan to swim out, kayak out with our dogs and supplies, or motorboat away out of the area.
00:18:31.309 --> 00:18:35.000
You want to coordinate with friends and family to increase your chances of survival.
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.196
You help me, I'll help you.
00:18:37.196 --> 00:18:41.902
We have a friend who has a helicopter who is a helicopter pilot, for example.
00:18:41.902 --> 00:18:44.258
We have skills to offer him in return.
00:18:44.258 --> 00:18:46.939
Don't look to become someone else's burden.
00:18:46.939 --> 00:18:48.385
Have valuable skills and items to barter with in return.
00:18:48.385 --> 00:18:48.534
Don't look to become someone else's burden.
00:18:48.534 --> 00:18:51.193
Have valuable skills and items to barter with in return for teamwork.
00:18:51.997 --> 00:18:56.971
Number eight hurricanes 51% annual landfall chance.
00:18:56.971 --> 00:19:04.711
The concern is winds, surges, flooding, road closure, civil unrest, delayed governmental relief and more.
00:19:04.711 --> 00:19:13.124
The actions you want to take are to board up your windows, evacuate if ordered, have food, water and medicines for at least two weeks on hand.
00:19:13.124 --> 00:19:22.231
Hurricane Katrina survivor Joe Bridges said roofs ripped off.
00:19:22.231 --> 00:19:23.032
We were displaced for years.
00:19:23.032 --> 00:19:28.941
Number seven landslides 25,000 annual threats from landslides in America.
00:19:28.941 --> 00:19:32.204
The concern is your home being buried.
00:19:32.204 --> 00:19:40.136
So the actions you want to take are to stay away from slopes, evacuate if crackings heard.
00:19:40.136 --> 00:19:41.481
Carry a foldable shovel for self-rescue.
00:19:41.481 --> 00:19:45.031
A California survivor said mud buried cards.
00:19:45.031 --> 00:19:46.875
We fled just in time.
00:19:48.598 --> 00:19:50.122
Number 10 is pandemics.
00:19:50.122 --> 00:19:53.855
There's a two to three percent annual risk of a pandemic.
00:19:53.855 --> 00:19:59.223
The concern here is hysteria causing civil unrest and panic.
00:19:59.223 --> 00:20:04.420
Overwhelmed health systems, overwhelmed supply chains.
00:20:04.420 --> 00:20:08.617
So the actions you want to take are to naturally support your immune system.
00:20:08.617 --> 00:20:16.173
There's a whole episode on New Normal Big Life about supporting your immune system and preparing for a pandemic.
00:20:16.173 --> 00:20:20.105
You can also use essential oils to kill household germs.
00:20:20.105 --> 00:20:32.226
There's an episode available for you to tell you which essential oils will kill which types of germs, fungus, etc.
00:20:32.226 --> 00:20:41.251
I never once got COVID because I used the protocol that I provided to you to keep my immune system boosted.
00:20:41.251 --> 00:20:46.435
In fact, I have been sick with a cold flu, strep throat.
00:20:46.435 --> 00:20:53.300
I have been sick with a cold flu, strep throat, any of those kinds of things twice since 2014.
00:20:53.300 --> 00:21:00.767
I have given you good advice in this podcast on boosting your immune system naturally.
00:21:00.767 --> 00:21:04.055
I hope you'll follow.
00:21:04.075 --> 00:21:06.000
Number 11 is power outages.
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:12.132
Boy, do we see these very often in rural places.
00:21:12.132 --> 00:21:18.682
In fact, as I'm recording right now the lights are flickering, my guy mad is like, oh no, Are the lights flickering?
00:21:18.682 --> 00:21:21.949
And I'm like, yes, they're flickering.
00:21:21.949 --> 00:21:32.076
I might be able to test out my solar generator, whole home system preparedness again if the lights go out.
00:21:32.076 --> 00:21:34.121
We have very different perspectives.
00:21:34.121 --> 00:22:00.170
I love testing our preparedness because it makes me feel warm and fuzzy when things work, because it's nothing like testing your equipment, your processes and your mental and emotional state in an emergency, because when the big one happens you'll be so chill because you've tested and tested and tested.
00:22:00.170 --> 00:22:08.593
We used to say in the army train how you fight, and we still practice that in our home when it comes to preparedness.
00:22:08.593 --> 00:22:18.144
So for power outages, they average five and a half hours per year per household and the risks are rising.
00:22:18.144 --> 00:22:24.901
The concern is food spoilage, heat or cold exposure are rising.
00:22:24.901 --> 00:22:27.448
The concern is food spoilage, heat or cold exposure, not having water, power or other services.
00:22:27.448 --> 00:22:29.915
Electronic payment systems are down with no way to pay for supplies.
00:22:30.277 --> 00:22:36.941
Criminals and desperate people will be trying to survive and they'll be looking for opportunities to take what you have by force.
00:22:36.941 --> 00:22:46.963
During Helene, one man said that he waited in line for two hours for gasoline and while he was tightening his gas cap.
00:22:46.963 --> 00:22:50.029
Someone tried to steal his gas can.
00:22:50.029 --> 00:23:03.785
That was right next to him, and when he got home he filled up his generator, went inside and before bed, when he went outside to top off his generator, there was someone coming through the woods after his generator.
00:23:03.785 --> 00:23:07.048
So prepare yourself, folks.
00:23:09.011 --> 00:23:32.902
So the actions you want to take here are use generators, opting for silent, odorless solar generators like the one we have that are stealthy and harder to steal because they're indoors inside with you, Stock adequate food, water, batteries, candles, medication and first aid materials for a minimum of two weeks per person and per animal.
00:23:32.902 --> 00:23:36.865
A lot of people forget about food and water for their pets.
00:23:36.865 --> 00:23:39.188
That's going to be very important.
00:23:39.188 --> 00:23:49.757
We have both flame candles, but we rely more heavily on our electric candles with rechargeable batteries.
00:23:49.757 --> 00:23:52.069
So keep that in mind.
00:23:52.069 --> 00:23:58.365
For safety, especially if you have children, I would avoid flame candles, and if you have a cat.
00:23:58.365 --> 00:24:05.751
We'll cover more on this in parts two and three of this series.
00:24:07.441 --> 00:24:14.835
Number 12, thunderstorms, lightning and hail oh my, 100,000 storms per year in America, people.
00:24:14.835 --> 00:24:20.511
So the concern is lightning strikes, electrocution, property damage, extended power outage.
00:24:20.511 --> 00:24:32.643
The actions you want to take are to stay indoors, away from windows, avoid standing in water, and one survivor said he'll smash the roof and lightning struck nearby.
00:24:32.643 --> 00:24:36.648
Tornadoes Number 13.
00:24:36.648 --> 00:24:40.801
There are 1,000 tornadoes annually here in America.
00:24:40.801 --> 00:24:42.405
The concern is debris.
00:24:42.405 --> 00:24:46.044
Injuries and getting trapped in rubble are a big concern.
00:24:46.044 --> 00:24:57.080
The actions you want to take is if you have a basement, you want to go to the basement and stay away from windows, or stay away from windows in an interior room or under your stairs.
00:24:57.080 --> 00:25:01.410
An Oklahoma survivor said the house was gone in seconds.
00:25:01.410 --> 00:25:03.294
We huddled in the bathtub together.
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:06.107
Number 14, tsunamis.
00:25:06.107 --> 00:25:12.292
If you live on the coast, you are at risk for tsunamis at the rate of about five per year.
00:25:12.292 --> 00:25:20.273
So the concern is drowning, of course, and the actions are to move inland or to higher ground.
00:25:20.273 --> 00:25:23.888
Number 15 is volcanoes.
00:25:23.888 --> 00:25:26.930
There are 169 active volcanoes in the US.
00:25:26.930 --> 00:25:29.929
The concern is ash and lava.
00:25:29.929 --> 00:25:38.539
So the actions you want to take are these we purchase fire retardant blankets and fire evac masks from my affiliate, Ready Hour.
00:25:38.539 --> 00:25:43.741
These supplies offer protection from inhalation and flames for up to one hour.
00:25:43.741 --> 00:25:49.155
This gives you protection while you evacuate Wildfires number 16.
00:25:49.656 --> 00:26:03.752
Millions of acres are burned annually in the US and if you experienced living in the Midwest this summer, you know how difficult it was to breathe because of Canada's wildfires.
00:26:03.752 --> 00:26:06.944
The concern is smoke and burns.
00:26:06.944 --> 00:26:09.810
So the actions you want to take is one.
00:26:09.810 --> 00:26:17.792
If you're in a wildfire, let me tell you something that happened, I think, about 100 years ago, in a place called Peshtigo.
00:26:17.792 --> 00:26:26.013
During the Peshtigo wildfire, the entire town was lost, except for the people who live near a body of water.
00:26:26.013 --> 00:26:47.171
What they were able to do is they spent the entire day and night till the next morning in an active wildfire area with flames above their head, but what they did was they stayed in the water, submerged completely underwater and only came up briefly just to get a little air.
00:26:47.171 --> 00:26:49.645
Keep that in mind.
00:26:49.645 --> 00:26:58.886
So create a defensible space by wetting down your roof, trees, grass and any brush around your property and evacuate early.
00:26:58.886 --> 00:27:08.487
Cameron Peak's wildfire survivor named Emily said they left with just the clothes on their backs and they had to run for six miles.
00:27:08.907 --> 00:27:20.153
So here's another thing to remember my adventure family, you want to be in good physical condition as best as you can.
00:27:20.153 --> 00:27:24.261
I know we're getting older, I know many of us, like me, have disabilities.
00:27:24.261 --> 00:27:27.047
I know many of us have chronic health challenges.
00:27:27.047 --> 00:27:40.150
But be as strong, strength, wise, cardiovascular, wise, mentally, so that you can survive at whatever your ability level.
00:27:40.150 --> 00:27:48.948
So, for example, things that I ensure that I can do every year is make sure that I can do at least 50 push-ups.
00:27:48.948 --> 00:27:51.212
Make sure that I can do at least one pull-up.
00:27:51.212 --> 00:28:00.942
Make sure that I can run a mile and still fight or shoot or whatever to defend myself afterwards, to defend myself afterwards.
00:28:00.942 --> 00:28:13.715
Those are pretty good ways to ensure that you have the mental, physical and cardio ability to survive almost anything.
00:28:16.579 --> 00:28:22.145
So, Cameron Peak Fire that fire was within miles of my home in Colorado.
00:28:22.145 --> 00:28:25.548
When I lived there, Ash rained down on us for months.
00:28:25.548 --> 00:28:38.601
Unfortunately, this incident caused me to develop asthma, which I later cured with natural remedies like Mullane or Mullen, but not before.
00:28:38.601 --> 00:28:42.833
Breathing problems plagued me for three years and I had to use a lot of medication just to breathe on a daily basis.
00:28:42.833 --> 00:28:47.425
That's when I purchased fire protection gear from Ready Hour.
00:28:47.425 --> 00:29:02.050
Since then I have used natural remedies to restore my lungs and I no longer need medication, but I wish I had some Ready Hour protection before the Cameron Peak fire.
00:29:03.472 --> 00:29:05.875
Number 17 is winter storms.
00:29:05.875 --> 00:29:09.484
70% of the US is affected yearly.
00:29:09.484 --> 00:29:17.025
The concern is hypothermia, isolation, lack of food, a lack of water and heat if the power goes out.
00:29:17.025 --> 00:29:24.097
So you want to insulate yourself, while indoors you can if you don't have.
00:29:24.097 --> 00:29:26.646
If you have a tent, bring it inside and set it up.
00:29:26.646 --> 00:29:35.133
Put everyone in the house, including the pets, in the tent, and your body heat will help to keep you all warm while you're in the tent.
00:29:35.133 --> 00:29:41.390
The other thing you can do if you don't have a tent is use bedding to create a tent.
00:29:41.390 --> 00:29:50.173
You want to put on your warmest clothes possible, and I know, if you live in a typically warm climate that doesn't get winter storms.
00:29:50.173 --> 00:29:57.334
Remember Texas, Florida, California you sometimes, on a rare occasion, will get a winter storm.
00:29:57.334 --> 00:30:03.189
And then we have to listen to dozens of you say oh my goodness, I wasn't prepared for this storm.
00:30:03.189 --> 00:30:06.289
I don't even have a winter coat or boots or gloves.
00:30:07.381 --> 00:30:13.794
How many people nearly died or did perish in their cars during a winter storm?
00:30:13.794 --> 00:30:23.249
I think it was in 2021 because they didn't have any warm clothes in their vehicles and I'll say that they ran out of gas.
00:30:23.249 --> 00:30:32.334
So what I do in the winter is I have a get-home bag in my winter vehicle.
00:30:32.334 --> 00:31:05.375
So that means we put extra gasoline in Food water blankets, we have survival blankets.
00:31:05.375 --> 00:31:08.218
It's all in our get home safe bag.
00:31:08.218 --> 00:31:10.124
Winter get home safe bag.
00:31:10.124 --> 00:31:13.311
We have a different summer get home safe bag, et cetera.
00:31:13.311 --> 00:31:24.290
But these are all things that you can use if you ever get stranded in your vehicle during an emergency, and when I lived in Colorado I actually had to use that one day.
00:31:24.290 --> 00:31:32.750
At the time I was smart I put my winter get home bag inside a friend's car.
00:31:32.750 --> 00:31:45.930
When her car broke down and we were stranded and it was minus 12 degrees and we had to wait three hours for a tow truck, we were able to survive because I had my get-home-safe bag.
00:31:48.941 --> 00:31:52.050
So number 18 is civil unrest.
00:31:52.050 --> 00:32:04.444
When there's things going on in your community and it is unsafe to go outside, but you don't have food or water or the medications that you need in your home, guess what's going to happen?
00:32:04.444 --> 00:32:08.027
You're going to have to brave those dangerous streets and go outside.
00:32:08.027 --> 00:32:27.174
But if you have at least 14 days of food, water and medications that you might need stored in your home, you don't need to go out during a civil arrest, a civil emergency, as FEMA experts emphasize, protective actions, save lives.
00:32:27.174 --> 00:32:29.646
Act on alerts immediately.
00:32:30.560 --> 00:32:37.759
You want to integrate these with additional recommendations from Part 2 and 3 of this series for unbreakable resilience.
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:45.712
In the words of Voltaire, the danger which is least expected soonest comes to us.
00:32:45.712 --> 00:32:48.401
Don't wait to fortify today.
00:32:48.401 --> 00:32:56.473
So until next time, friends, I'm your host, Antoinette Lee, the wellness warrior.
00:32:56.473 --> 00:33:10.484
Sorry to be a Debbie Downer today, but I hope that this has prepared you to start getting prepared for natural disasters here at the New Normal Big Life podcast.
00:33:10.484 --> 00:33:19.727
I hope one day to see you on the river, in the backcountry or in the horse barn living your best life, Struggling with health problems or seeking natural health solutions.

00:33:34.888 --> 00:33:38.942
Today, World events are constantly teaching everyone some very painful lessons.
00:33:38.942 --> 00:33:42.992
Without warning, everything we take for granted can suddenly fail.
00:33:42.992 --> 00:33:48.289
Without warning, everything we take for granted can suddenly fail, and if you're not prepared in advance, you really don't have a chance.
00:33:48.289 --> 00:33:51.621
The fact is, the modern world runs on a just-in-time supply schedule.
00:33:51.621 --> 00:33:56.781
Even the biggest grocery stores can carry only enough food for a few days worth of normal shopping.
00:33:56.781 --> 00:34:03.622
So when disaster strikes and chaos ensues at your local stores, the odds are simply against you.
00:34:03.622 --> 00:34:09.248
If you don't have emergency food and gear stockpiled in advance, you will probably suffer.
00:34:10.552 --> 00:34:12.945
