The Indiana State Health Department has confirmed a person infected with Measles visited the Super Bowl Village sometime last week, possibly on Friday. An estimated 250,000 people had been at the location throughout the day. The person never visited any indoor Super Bowl event, though it still remains unclear if that person attended the Super Bowl Celebration.
Two additional cases have since been confirmed in Indiana. Indiana State health officials are asking everyone, especially those who... Read Full Story

The Recent tragedy of the Costa Concordia cruise ship off the coast of Italy this weekend reminded me of how important it is to be prepared. Prepared for anything, at anytime, even when having the time of your life while on vacation.
The last thing most of us are thinking about when we go on vacation, attend a wedding, a sporting event, or even to the movies is what we would do when tragedy strikes (WTSHTF). Let's face it, it's not usually top of mind for most people in any case. But, there... Read Full Story

Last week I talked about the first steps on deciding on what to include in your Bug-Out-Bag (BOB) . As I mentioned one of the most important things about deciding on what to put into your BOB is how far away or how long it will take you to get to your Bug-Out-Location.
How you choose your Bug-Out-Location will depend on a number of factors, such as:
Can you afford to purchase your own location
Do you have a trusted group of people that can purchase a location together
Is it easy for... Read Full Story

Go to nearly any preparedness website or survivalist message board and you’ll read and hear talk about Bug-Out-Bags or BOB’s. The most common theme is other people asking what others carry in their BOB’s or even people showing off photos of their BOB’s. You can even find short and long lists of what people carry, down to the types of bags an individual might prefer to carry.
One of the elements missing from these discussions is the right way of how to develop a Bug-Out-Bag from the start... Read Full Story

As the title says, this post is a tribute to a fellow blogger, John Solomon who passed away one year ago on November 1, 2010.
I knew John was sick, and not doing well as he told me through email correspondence, but I never knew exactly what his illness was at the time. I would just tell him to get well, and hang on.
My heart sank when I knew that he had not posted in a while, and with things going on in my own life, I had not been by to read his blog. When I did finally get around to... Read Full Story

Considering the events of the last week and the storm that will be hitting the east coast hard this weekend I would like to take this time to introduce you to a friend and collogue of mine Paul Faust, who owns the business 1-800-Prepare . Paul is a former fireman and from New York but this is not the only thing he and I have in common.
Like me, Paul decided some time ago that more needed to be done to help people prepare and he launched his business 1-800-Prepare.
If you need quality... Read Full Story

First off – Let me say this right off the bat. I am not a believer in the world ending on December 21, 2012. I do however get asked a lot of questions about 2012, and though far from an expert on anything to do with this date, I’m just not a believer that it marks the end of anything more than an era or place in time.
Now this may seem somewhat contradictory, but it’s really not. What does worry me about this day and event is that it could become a self fulfilling prophecy. That is, if... Read Full Story

Some of the larger businesses that were impacted by the recent Japanese earthquake were able to overcome the disaster and recover remarkably quickly.
How did some companies recover so fast? By being both prepared and working with resources outside of their companies, such as vendors and building the redundancy into the manufacturing and supply chain processes.
In a recent article written by Michael Koploy titled The Post-Tsunami Supply Chain All-Stars | Who Recovered the Fastest and How... Read Full Story
