Have you heard about this news conference he had on May 31st? with FEMA?

Now-Obama-Warns-Americans-to-Be-Prepared-for-Disaster...-What-Does-He-Know-676x374.jpg


He explained that it was up to each citizen to be prepared for disasters. This preparation should extend to “having an evacuation plan” and “having a fully stocked disaster supply kit.”

I like this article better:

http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2016...sks-residents-to-stay-vigilant/5321464714308/

The other had some conspiracy stuff.

I liked this part:

"It is every citizen's responsibility to be prepared for a disaster," he said. "That means taking proactive steps, like having an evacuation plan, having a fully stocked disaster supply kit."

That is what this forum is about - being prepared for disasters or other difficulties be they financial, environmental, grid failure and more.

I think it's interesting.

As for myself, I'm not as prepared as I should be. I found that out last week when the power went out and I only had two almost-used-up candles. Now I've bought 30 for the next time it happens.

It is interesting, but it has nothing to do with conspiracies. The CDC and our government has been committed to getting the word out on disaster preparedness for a long time. I'm glad to see that our President is using his platform to get the word out too. I suppose it isn't news to me because I've had disaster preparedness training and know plenty of people that can/will be activated by FEMA in case of a disaster.

I'm sorry, I thought it would be of interest to those in this forum.
Very interesting Lulav! Thanks for sharing. I was surprised to see that announcement from the President. It is a welcome development.

Nice. My son bought us 4 lantern/lamps with solar charging or batter power. You can also charge devices with the USB out.
Thanks for sharing.
