Whereas, preparation is one of the keys to survival, it's often more
than that. It is those decisions you make just seconds after a major
disaster which often determine if you live or die, drown or burn, or get
blown away or buried alive. Despite what you might think, as prepared
as you are, and as trained as you might be, it's incredible the amount
of emotion and the chemicals running through your brain which fire off
during a natural disaster (yes, I am speaking from experience). It's
hard to say that one is ever completely emotionally prepared or ready
for something totally out of the blue.
Yes,
things like wildfires, droughts, and hurricanes do give good warning.
However not all disasters do, and perhaps that's my second point. You
can't always be prepared for everything. Still, as an online article
author I would submit to you that we need more folks writing about these
topics, not scaring people, but giving people confidence that they can
make it through anything. Letting them know the ins and outs of a
pandemic flu, so there's no question what they and their families must
do. Step-by-step strategies and well researched and good advice can make
the difference.
So many online article authors are writing
content to redirect traffic to their website and make a few bucks
selling their wares trinkets online. Still, with the ability to write,
and put together simple instructions, those skills can be used for
something good, something that will save people's lives, something that
will make a difference. You might think that FEMA can help out with most
of this, but generally they respond after a major disaster, not before.
Until the devastation hits, they may not even be sent in until it is
declared by the government to be such.
Until then people are on
their own, but if they have thought about what to do, read it somewhere,
written it down, or printed it off from the Internet they are that much
ahead. If you have expertise in emergency management and survival
tactics, I hope you will write more online articles to get the word out.
Please consider all this and think on it.
