There's no way to be ready for everything, but Emergency Essentials can get you pretty darn close. Preparing for a disaster can seem daunting, but if you follow a simple plan, you'll be prepared before you know it.

IF AN EMERGENCY HAPPENED TO YOU RIGHT THIS MINUTE, HOW WOULD YOU FARE?

Think about how much you depend on an ever-present supply of food water, electricity, and heat, an ability to communicate, a place to lay your head, and an ability to travel.

What if—due to circumstances beyond your control—any one or two of those were lost? What if all of them were lost?

You may think of "preppers" as people that aren't like you. But the truth is, most preppers are just everyday people planning ahead for unexpected circumstances with a bit of food storage, water storage, emergency power, and other supplies that will fulfill their basic needs if somehow their supply to their everyday source of supplies (like a grocery store) is unavailable for a while. Remember, survival isn't about luck. It's about prepping for difficult situations ahead of time, including the survival gear, emergency food storage, water storage, and the other supplies and skills you'll need in a disaster—whether a natural, personal, or financial disaster.
