We saw the disaster on television for some time now large earthquakes, 9 / 11, tsunamis, hurricanes. It's sad but true that there are not only "acts of God", but also acts of man that can leave us isolated and waiting for help to arrive. In many cases, with only the range most basic emergency and safety supplies though, the wait can be manageable and in some cases, the difference between life and death. But those reminders and that knowledge alone is not enough taking action now and get your emergency supplies and safety and that you actually need before they could make a difference.
