Treadstone (@TreadstoneGraybriar)

Recent history demonstrates that the unexpected can happen suddenly and often with little warning. Depending on our location and circumstances hurricanes, floods, terrorism, power outages, supply chain interruptions, etc. merely inconvenienced us, made things pretty uncomfortable, or resulted in disaster. We take our nation’s infrastructure for granted and assume that, even if it does fail, "they" will figure it out and quickly restore toilet paper, milk and bread to the shelves, design and implement "work from home" schemes, create a new vaccine in record time. In catastrophic situations we expect and assume FEMA, The Red Cross, EMS or military resources will come to our rescue or assume we'll cope or ride them out. Despite all the experience of the recent past and despite having the best emergency medical and disaster response systems in the world, federal, state and local governments are shockingly unprepared for the next crisis, whether natural or manmade. Thus, we are left with the stark reality the cavalry may not be coming over the hill and we are each individually responsible for preparing and protecting ourselves and our loved-ones. Most of us, however, are just too busy trying to adjust to the "new normal" to spend time, attention and money on Emergency Preparedness. Despite repeated wake-up calls, 98% of us are woefully unprepared.
