What are Your Special Preparedness Needs?
Providing for the special people in your household during disasters
Over the past year, we have seen earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, floods and wildfires that have devastated large areas of the world. People have found themselves stranded for extended periods without many necessities. Most recently we have seen a hurricane wash out mountain communities here in the United States which also left as many as 4 million people without power.
Identifying Individual Special Needs
Many of us have special needs that we require to survive. I have been on a lot of prepper sites. I seldom hear about this as an immediate area to prepare, but it always seems to be an excuse not to prepare for disasters. They complain that they cannot prepare for the future because they don’t have enough money. Other times people complain that they can’t prepare for the future because of these special needs.
Sadly, these are some of the most important reasons to prepare for the future. Preparing for the special needs in your family’s lives is one of the primary preparations that you should make. It’s as simple as thinking beyond your immediate wants today so that you’ll have what you need if what you need suddenly becomes unavailable through normal channels.
