Emergency Planning

I have been watching the show "Jerich" and absolutely love it. Honestly, if you really want to plan for an emergency - whether it be a bomb, virus outbreak, whatever, watch Jericho and observe everything they go through.

In our church, we are told to have 72 hour kits with everything you would need for 72 hours in case of disaster, and also a 1 year supply of food. 1 year supply of food could go a very long way, not just for the food, but also as a bargaining chip if you needed something you didn't have.

In this show, food is extremely low (they don't have enough to get through the winter), they only have electricity for a few hours a day (and it is winter so imagine how cold they are all the time), and they have extremely limited fuel.

Watching this show truly has made me re-evaluate our food and emergency preparedness storage. Above and beyond just food, you need candles (tons of them), flashlights, batteries, clothing, blankets, medical supplies (including prescriptions), etc.

When money is no longer the currency, what will you have that is? Food? Medicines? Shelter? Blankets?
