The first step in avoiding a catastrophe is preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. Most families these days in the wake of natural disasters, are still not prepared for any kind of an emergency.

For those on the west coast, earthquakes happen everyday, it's all a matter of "when" and not "if". We all know about the destructive power of hurricanes along the southern coast and Tornados in the central plains. There is more to think about than just what is mentioned here. Any coastline still is vulnerable to tsunamis caused from earthquakes in far reaches of our planet. We have had more disruptive changes in our weather patterns than ever before. Our big cities and suburbs face a bigger threat in dealing with the chaos in the aftermath of a disaster. We have seen first hand how people deal with this during an emergency. The people facing a disaster today are no better protected than the poor people living in the days of the pirates in the 1800's.

It is not always the best idea to go to a shelter during an emergency. Too many people rely on this, and think someone is responsible to help them in there time of need. This is simply not true. FEMA and the local public agencies do not always get places on time to be effective. That means that you and your family may have to have supplies on your own to survive. Not only can a shelter be a hostile environment but also you can be exposed to diseases brought in by others affected by the disaster. Long lines, disease and desperate people are not the kind of things you want to expose your family to.

Everyone should start with a plan. Have all family members and close friends involved in the discussion or meeting. Everyone should have a map of his or her local area. Establish a meeting location for everyone to go to during an emergency. Also have backup places out of town to meet in case you have to evacuate your immediate area. Know all available routes to your destination in case some are blocked. Have all contact numbers of everyone including distant relatives and friends.
