The Top 20 Emergency Supplies You Need to Survive Any Disaster
It's important to have the right emergency supplies in your home before disaster hits. Nowadays, no continent on Earth is safe from catastrophe, and the same can be said for most U.S. states. In 2004, over 300,000 people lost their lives in South Asia from the most devastating tsunami on record. A year later, here in America, New Orleans was all but destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Just a few months ago, Southern California was devastated by the worst wild fires in our nation's history. On top of that, over a million people had to be evacuated, which was the largest evacuation of U.S. citizens since the Civil War. Then a severe ice storm shut down power across the Midwest, leaving over a million people without heat and electricity for a number of days. A few lost their lives. Our planet is clearly going through perilous changes. The fact that the polar ice caps are melting, and the fact that the weather is getting more severe all around the globe — well, it looks like disasters are going to become more commonplace — and kill a lot more people. Many believe this is in fact the beginning of God's judgments, which are said to occur in the 'last days', and catch much of the world by surprise. Whatever your beliefs are, it looks like it's going to get a lot worse for the people of planet Earth. If your area is hit by a major disaster, there's a good chance that you won't have any access to emergency supplies, and what stores do stock essential supplies are likely to be quickly sold or even taken by looters, as tens of thousands of people in nearby communities literally break down the doors of stores to get their hands on food and supplies. Here is a list of the top 20 items Readygov.com believes it is absolutely important that you have on hand. Not only should you have these on hand, but explain to your family members where they can find these items in your house (should something happen to you).
