Hurricanes are among just a few of the potential sudden and natural disasters that could happen at any time, engulfing you and your loved ones into sudden danger and unpredictability. Geophysical events like tsunamis, volcanic activity, and the more common events like earth quakes can come suddenly and without much warning time. Meteorological events like convective and local storms or tropical and extra-tropical storms are more predictable, allow us time to prepare. But during a mass panic to prepare for the worst, you may find yourself unable to acquire the necessary supplies to see you through what could be a devastating event.
Disaster Food Insurance Planning
As a society, we insure our homes against things like fire, theft, or personal liability. If someone slips on our icy front porch and ends up in traction, we’re protected from major financial ruin. We insure our cars. Not because we necessarily want to, but because regulators in many states have mandated it.
If you find yourself involved in an auto accident without auto insurance, you can sometimes put yourself at a greater financial risk than a major illness. Without Life insurance, you run the risk of leaving survivors behind in dire need of help. But what does all of this have to do with food insurance? Consequently, the fore-mentioned all have one thing in common. They do not protect our most basic necessities of life: food & water.
How Can You Prepare?
Life could find you in difficult times without the insurance protections mentioned. But just how would life actually be without food or water? A human can live for a very short time, a few days, without water. We could survive a few weeks, depending on physical and mental capacities without food. The real question may not be “if” but rather “when” will you and your family be without the basic essentials for survival? Will your supply of food and drinkable water last? Having an emergency food storage supply that is easily accessible during an emergency can make a big difference of how you survive.
Food Insurance Conclusion
In conclusion, there will always be the pundits when it comes to calamities and preparedness. On the other hand, FEMA has been actively advising us to store up and prepare for any emergency that might leave you and your family without food and fresh water. Therefore, it’s not such a bad idea to have bunker supplies stored somewhere when you need them most. But hey, what do they know? On the other hand, you might want to be asking yourself what is it they aren’t telling us?
