No person knows when the world is going to end. However everyone should be prepared for disasters and civil unrest.
I think it is our responsibility as citizens to be prepared to provide for our familes in response to a disaster and the fall out from it. People far to often depend on the government to give them supplies and immediately make everything better following a disaster. It takes time to recover from these events and help will not be there immediately. Be it a tornado, wild fire, hurricane, tsunami, earthquake, or an EMP just to name a few. I have preperations that will allow me to provide my family with food, water, first aid and protection in case of a disaster.
