Disaster Recovery Supply

The Era of Procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays, is coming to a close. In it’s place, we are entering a Period of Consequences. so said Sir Winston Churchill on 11/12/36. Nothing can be further from the truth regarding paying attention to storm warnings for 2009. Those who act early are those who stand the best chance of survival, no matter what the circumstance. Learn more from Disaster Recovery Supply and keep in mind that it’s always better to be five years ealry than five minutes too late.

Disaster Recovery Supply reports that Hurricane forecasters are predicting above average activity for the Atlantic in 2009: 14 named storms, including seven hurricanes with three major. The 50-year average is 9.6 name storms and 2.3 majors. There is predicted a 63% chance of at least one major making landfall on the U.S. Coastline. The forecast is based on factors including warm Atlantic surface temperatures and the likely absence of El Nino conditions. Now is a good time to be informed and prepared well in advance as no one knows if they will be called on to evacuates or take precautionary measures. Disaster Recovery Supply offers substantial discounts on bulk purchases. It’s better to be five years early than five minutes too late.

More frequent and powerful hurricanes from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico have produced one of the most dangerous and costliest storm eras in modern history. Over the years, population increases along the coastal and wetlands areas have added making these disasters the most deadliest and costliest in history. In addition, the storms are not only lasting longer, but are traveling more inland than ever before. This creates additional problems as people evacuating from one area end up traveling right into more trouble.  And perhaps where you can’t get food and water. People are evacuating more than ever before and you can’t help but notice it.You can gain a tremendous advantage in any evacuation by being prepared before hand. Ready-made disaster kits are designed to have a long shelf life, so purchasing one now can give you peace of mind as you never know when you (if ever) might need it. It’s like health insurance; you make the premium payments and hope you stay healthy. But should the unexpected happen, you are very happy you made all those premium payments. When it comes to you and your family’s health and well being, cost should never be an object.

Disaster Recovery Supply offers many various size emergency readiness kits available ranging from a one-person fanny pack to larger size family kits as well as school, offices, businesses and other municipals.

Keep this in mind………It’s always better to be five years early than five minutes too late.

Planning and simple preparation can prevent the unexpected from becoming more disastrous. Hurricanes are becoming much stronger because of global warming, so says a new study in the current edition of the journal Nature. As seas warm, open waters have more energy to turn tropical storms into higher category hurricanes. Just look at the recent back-to-back hurricanes in the southeastern United States. No sooner than you evacuate one when you may face starting over. For a small cost, anyone can be prepared in advance and be ready to just jump in the car and go. And not having to run around to various stores for emergency item. Just log on to Disaster Recovery Supply and fill your needs ahead of time.

Yes, we live in the electronic age. From the time we wake up until we go to bed, almost every move we make involves electricity and electronics. We get up in the morning to a nice warm house, turn on the lights and coffee maker. We get the morning paper which was just printed a few hours ago. Then we’re off to a nice warm shower, blow our hair dry and off into the world for the day. If we need gas for our vehicle, a stop at the pumps with our credit card. If we stop at the store or a restaurant, we might use another credit card. A payday might mean a stop at our bank for a deposit. At the start of the week, or any day for that matter, we start writing checks to pay our bills. And it goes on and on. (Disaster Recovery Supply is starting to think ahead).

Now look at this brief scenario which happened recently. Starbucks is based in Seattle, WA which experienced a brief earthquake. This temporarily disrupted their computer server. All Starbuck locations are tied in directly to this main server and could not sell a cup of coffee anywhere because they could not take credit cards or cash because the registers wouldn’t open.

Now picture this on a global basis. Our world is surrounded by thousands of communication satellites which (unfortunately) govern our world. What “if” something disrupted their functions like sunspots, an errant meteor, some type of terror activity, etc. What “if” our communication connection were shut down without a remedy.

Now imagine waking up in the morning. The lights won’t go on. Coffee Maker won’t work. Refrigerator contents are spoiling. A cold shower. Can’t get gas because pumps won’t run. Can’t use a credit card anywhere because ATM’s, banks, stores are helpless without electricity which rely on electronics to operate. Stores may have supplies for a while, but won’t sell them to you unless you have cold cash. And you will need to stock up all you can before the next guy gets it because the store can’t restock as trucks won’t operate. And you won’t be able to call anybody because phones won’t work. No text messages!!

Credit cards and checks will be of no use and <b>cash will be king</b>.  Forget about the value of our dollar compared with the Euro. The stock market will be gone! Cash will be cash…..no matter! With cash, you may be able to do all kinds of things you never thought of previously. You might be wise to start hoarding cash, and not in a safe deposit box. Without electricity, you won’t be able to get at it. Find a good and safe hiding place and keep it a secret. And make sure you have a bicycle!

Again, it’s always best to be prepared ahead of time for any type of event. Keep several disaster kits handy at all times for any kind of emergency. Remember, it’s best to be five years early than five minutes too late!

In the last week or so, dozens of people died as the result of ravaging twisters. Again, most of the victims thought it couldn’t happen to them. Whole towns were wiped out. This may be the worst year in recorded history for both numbers of tornadoes and number of deaths. But no matter where you live, natural disasters occur all over in the forms of hurricanes, sandstorms, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, windstorms, etc. To help protect yourself and your family, you should take precautions. Whether you are in your house, car, mobile home and storm warnings are announced, you should have a pre-packaged Emergency Evacuation Supply Kits with you at all times.

Are we getting more and more of these disasterous storms now? Or are we just hearing about them with increased news coverage. Last week, the mid-Atlantic States and yesterday the mid-west. Seems every day we hear about another storm and people either being evacuated or displaced from their homes. And more than likely, no one will have any emergency plans or supplies in place. Why? Because most people think it can’t happen to them. So why spend money on a contingency item for something you may never need. So what is your life worth? Or any else’s for that matter. It doesn’t matter where you live or what part of the country or world. Things happen when you least expect it. Disaster Recovery Supply has vital information to assist you in being aware and prepared.

While the middle class and above may cope with the rising cost of gasoline, most Americans can’t. Gasoline is a must-have commodity and we have to have it in order to buy the staples we need to live. If we can’t afford to drive out of our driveways, what are our options. We are being forced to cut back on the things we previously enjoyed as Americans. Things such as cable TV, movies, restaurants, cell phones, sporting events, visiting distant relatives and others. Who ever heard of $3-4 dollar milk shakes at McDonald’s, Burger King, etc. Eggs at $3-4/dozen. Milk at $4-5/gallon. There is no mild recession and we are in for some real tough times. Now there are more reasons for people to become aware of disaster recovery kits when we can no longer drive down the street.

And it gets worse! The world hunger crisis is all over the news this week. In just three years, the price of staple foods like wheat, corn and rice has almost doubled. The soaring cost of staple foods and the resulting hunger crisis has caused riots from Haiti to Bangladesh, threatens hundreds of thousands of people with starvation and could push one hundred million more people deeper into poverty. This is worse than hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, etc. At least, you have a chance  for survival with disaster recovery supplies.

Disaster Recovery Supply meets the needs for emergency preparedness. Living in this precarious world, you need to be prepared for any emergency that you may face. Whether it be a natural disaster prevalent in your geographic area, such as an earthquake or tornada or a hurricane, or a man made disaster, such as a terrorist attack or fire, you need to have emergency kits with the proper survival supplies. In the event of a catastrophic disaster, emergency personnel will be overwhelmed and unable to assist all those in need of medical and rescue attention. That’s why you need to have reliable emergency supplies that you can count on during a time of emergency when stores will be closed and roads unavailable.
