Economic Tida Wave

Most people deny the potential of natural disasters to the point that they do not prepare for them. So most of us realize that an earthquake, tornado, or flood would be a bad thing and it makes sense to prepare for those events, yet we still do not prepare.

Here are several potential reasons why we don’t prepare.

1. It will not happen to me.
2. My (insert their name here) has more than enough supplies to help me out.
3. If it does happen I probably won’t survive.
4. If I prepare then I will make something bad happen.
5. It is too costly.
6. It will take too much time.
7. I don’t know how to do it.
8. I don’t want to turn into a “Survivalist”.

If you see a tiny bit of yourself in any of the excuses above take hope, you can do it! It will cost you much, much more if a disaster strikes and you are not prepared. Take a few baby steps and see how you feel once you have a little food put away. Learn how to close off water at your main, and shut down gas and electricity. Simple steps will go a long way to ensure the safety of your family.

Another real monstorous disater is the potential for an economic flood, or earthquake. If your earning abilities were cut for weeks or months what would you do? There is a greater potential for you to be displaced by an economic tidal wave than an earthquake. It makes more sense to be prepared today than it did a few years ago. Do the right thing, get ready.
