Episode-366- The Missed Lessons of Major Disasters:

It seems there is always a disaster somewhere in the world. Right now eyes are on Haiti, over the last two decades we have had many. The LA Riots, The California Quake, Hurricanes Andrew, Ike, Rita and of course Katrina. Lesser publicized weather events like the Ft. Worth and Arlington Tornado (which we lived through), the Mississippi floods of the 90s, Tropical Storm Fay in Jacksonville and more.
Each time we hear how we have “learned” from the event and will do better next time, yet a lot of what we learn misses many of the real lessons. This will be the subject of today’s podcast.
Join me today as we discuss…
More first responders per individual
Biggest shortages are food, water and shelter
Law and order will break down
Law abiding citizens often become targets of law enforcement
The media loves hardship, blame and is never part of the solution
The size and scope of large disasters has actually be quite small
Government and your fellow man will help but you may still be on your own
Redundancy in your preparations is critical
The disaster is not the biggest danger, the aftermath is
The cause is less important then the removal of systems of support
Money can become worthless, beer can be a currency
Free societies are vulnerable
What happens elsewhere can and very well may effect you
It can happen where you live
It is up to you, no matter the intentions of others
