I consider a prepper to be one who thinks ahead and prepares for various scenarios as best as possible. Someone who shares his/her knowledge with others in hopes of increasing their chances of survival in any disaster or emergency situation.
ReplyDeleteI have this definition in mind, because it describes ME! I've lived in hurricane country (Florida) all my life, when I lived in Miami folks there took hurricane season seriously.
Since I moved to central Florida, people there had no idea of what to expect before, during or after...but my family was prepared.
We weathered the storm, after which surveyed damage, secured our home, and began helping neighbors.
A few big things neighbors faced were loss of electric, water and sewer, knowing this presented a variety of threats...We helped by explaining proper rotation/preparation of perishable foods, how to ensure safe drinking water and oddly enough HOW to FLUSH a toilet with no water service (there was a lake out back!).
Since that time, I have constructed an urban disaster survival website, to help educate, prepare and save the lives of many beyond my immediate reach.
I've always believed knowledge is USELESS unless it's shared and applied how and when it's needed.
