Disaster Recovery Supply

Devastation of the worse kind. Totally unexpected, even though predicted. But who would ever know when? As for the west coast of California, noted for repeated earthquakes, it also predicted. And not “if,” but “when.” Imagine if  the affected people of Haiti had 72-hour emergency disaster survival kits, they would have an easier route while they waited for disaster relief to arrive. But then again, most of those people could never afford one of these kits when they have to survive on only $2.00/day. But in our country, most can afford these low priced kits. Sadly, most people believe disaster won’t hit them.

But let’s face reality. Disasters do hit and in many forms beside earthquakes. Hurricanes, flash floods, tornadoes, snow storms to name a few. Why take a chance and get caught unprepared? Disaster Recovery Supply is ready to assist in early preparation at a low cost. Discounts are available for quantity purchases. Talk to your neighbors and perhaps pool an order. Try and remember that it is better to be five minutes early than five years too late.

Thinking the unthinkable! If potential disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, etc aren’t bad enough……..imagine what life would be like…. if in a heartbeat, we had to go back to living like the early pioneers. The end of life as we’ve become used to. You wake up in the morning to a nice bright sun and reach for that wakeup cup of coffee. Only to find that the coffee maker didn’t go off. Investigating further you find that your clocks have stopped, the TV won’t work, your cell phone is out and on-and-on. And forget about your computer. What could have possibly have happened. A science-fiction disaster?

 As recently reported, the electrical grid that powers everything may be open to threat. Imagine a nuclear weapon is exploded miles above the earth’s atmosphere knocking out power across half the country disrupting electricity grids and everything alse from communication networks to military defenses. Coming to a halt would be banking, transportation, food, water and emergency services. The consequences would be catastrophic. Recovery could take up to ten years or more and cost trillions. Crime would skyrocket. Survival would be an everyday challenge.

Could you survive for that long without communication and transportation? I’m not sure many of us could. We, at Disaster Recovery Supply, are aware of this threat. Although that’s all it is at this point, it’s still better to be safe than sorry. Our products won’t help you for ten years, but they will at least offer some hope for you to get started on a plan for surviving in the future. Our products are available for individuals, families, schools and businesses. Just click on this link for more information.

Listen, listen, listen to rescuer’s warnings! When they say evacuate……EVACUATE!

When people don’t listen to the warnings and choose to ride out fires and storms, they put rescuers in danger if they have to get them out. And they could face second degree murder or manslaughter charges if any rescuers are ever hurt or die during such a rescue attempt. Over the weekend, three people who refused to evacuate were burned when they were overrun by flames, including a couple who had sought refuge in a hot tub. Additionally, five people who refused to evacuate threatened areas reported they were trapped at a ranch near Gold Creek in Los Angeles County. A helicopter was unable to immediately reach them because of the intense fire activity.

 There are thousands of homes in harms way and many more people needing assistance until these fires can be put out. All the more reason for being prepared in advance because you never know when it’s your turn. Disaster Recovery Supply offers assistance in preparedness before possible evacuations and offers a 72-hour Emergency Evacuation Survival Kit. Remember, it’s better to be five years early then five minutes too late! 

The “Long Island Express” hurricane of September 21, 1938, also known as the “Great New England Hurricane”, was at that time the costliest natural disaster ever experienced in the United States. It was also one of the deadliest, taking at least 600 lives on Long Island and in New England, many from storm surge flooding but also from inland flooding of rivers and streams and from causes related to the high winds. Long Island was devastated. This was a Category 3 hurricane and residents only got a 1-½ day warning. In the 21st century, this hurricane remains the benchmark by which all other destructive storms in the northeastern United Sates are measured. Category 4 or 5 northern Atlantic Hurricanes have increased 56% over the last 35 years.Has New York City learned anything from the lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina? In hindsight, the 1938 Hurricane would only be a dress rehearsal should another Category 3 hit NYC today. It’s not a matter of “if,” but “when!” In 1938, Long Island had 750,000 residents and today there are over 3.5 million. And that’s just Long Island. Manhattan would become a water-logged prison. To exit Manhattan, there are 16 bridges, 4 tunnels, 3 railroad bridges. However, perhaps the best way to evacuate is by road as they may be the shortest route to high ground if you can get out of Manhattan. Disaster Recovery Supply can help even if you have to walk to high ground with 72-Hour Survival Kits.

If the worst happened and you did successfully evacuate to high ground, what would you have to come back to? And how long before a return? Would you be prepared for such an event? Complacency can be the enemy. Preparedness comes from anticipation. Act now! Disaster Recovery Supply is here to assist you with ready-made survival kits for many situations. Remember, It’s better to be 5 years early than 5 minutes too late!

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!
