Episode-474- Disaster Probability, Impact and Commonality [ 1:01:44 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadToday we take a new look at this primary concept of modern survival philosophy. We examine how the concepts fo probability, impact and commonality of disaster interlock and how to use them in our planning process. More importantly at the end we examine how they impact the human condition and what we can learn about ourselves if we are willing to face our collective fear and examine disaster with these three factors.
Join me today as we discuss…
- What exactly is disaster probability and why should you care
- Why is impact second in the equasion
- What does commonality teach us and how do the following seven preps effect two very different disasters
- Storing Food
- Reduce/Eliminate Debt
- Develop Energy Independence
- Grow Food
- Save Money
- Keep Cash On Hand
- Have Evacuation Plans
- What do we learn about life when we actually face and plan for disaster
- Why retirement commercials are a lie and you can’t wait for your “golden years” to start living
Two Exerts from Today’s Show
“We prepare for individual level disasters first, because they are more probable, not because they are more dangerous.”
“If event” X” occurs what actions can I take both before and after its’ occurrence to improve my odds of survival and/or my ability to remain comfortable?”
“The harsh reality is that survival is not about being able to buy specific items or to do specific things so much as it is about your individual ability to adapt, overcome and succeed based on the resources you have or more to the point is spite of resources you have to do without.”
