Another reason to prepare for an emergency

The other day, a person responded to a post in a forum regarding emergency preparedness kits. He said "I don't need a disaster preparedness kit, when the time comes, I will just go to wally world (Wal-Mart) and fire off a couple of rounds, clear out the store and take what I need". I was astonished at his response! The first thing that came to mind was his wife and two daughters. He plans on abandoning his family to go put himself in harms way to steal what he needs instead of being a good man and preparing for a disaster.

I am personally prepared and will stay home to protect my family and live on the food and water that I have set aside in case of an emergency. Anyone who loots for what they need after a disaster occurs will not have a free reign of the city. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city that most likely have the same mindset as this thief and they will most likely be doing the same, so the chances of survival during looting are not very good, and furthermore, who will be at home to protect his wife and children? What if he does not make it back? Does he expect for his wife to go out and try to loot and leave her daughters behind? What if she doesn't make it either? Are the two little girls supposed to know how to find food and water for themselves? And defend themselves? Someone didn't think this through very well or doesn't care enough to prepare for the future. I find this very disheartening, especially when the average american spends over $500.00 each month for car, health, and home insurance.

Preparedness Supplies only cost about 10 cents a day over 5 years to have food and water set aside for tough times, when they come. Any day there could be an earthquake, fire, severe weather, power outages, and more! How do you choose to care for your family? I hope you choose the affordable path of being prepared.
