Wildfires are naturally occurring or man made events which can appear suddenly and do horrific damage to huge areas within hours. Anyone who has lived in California the last couple of years knows first-hand what I'm talking about.

If you live in an area where wildfires can occur you must be prepared ahead of time, because when they hit you would have to leave in a moments notice.

Earthquakes are rough. They come from out of nowhere and can be extremely serious very quickly.

They often lead to other circumstances: fires quickly spring up from broken gas lines and downed power lines.

And they almost never happen one at a time, aftershocks a commonplace and can be even more damaging than the original quake.

Hurricanes can be some of the most destructive forces on earth. Intense winds along with flooding can cause multiple damage vectors. Getting prepared ahead of time is critical since Hurricane warnings will only come a few days in advance. 

There are a few key issues to plan for:

• Home Fortification: Wind & Water Mitigation
• Long Term Power Outage: Food Storage / Lighting / Hygiene 
• Preparing for Evacuation

If you live on the east coast of the US, or in Hawaii, prepping for hurricanes and cyclones is an annual activity!
