You don't have to be a professional prepper

You do not have to be a full time professional prepper in order to prepare for what may come. The world is fraught with disasters both natural and human-made. In addition, they can and do take their toll on humanity and infrastructure from time to time. Therefore, it is important; it is prudent to have a family disaster plan or individual disaster plan if you are on your own.

It is not rocket science to put together a plan of action in case of disaster but it does take some effort and it takes good planning and forethought to put it together. Just some of the things to consider are what you will need to make it through the first 72 hours of a disaster and what supplies you will need on hand.

Also, consider if you will be ‘bugging-in’ or ‘bugging out’. It is true that conditions may warrant one or the other and you might be compelled into either of the bug out situations, so it is good to plan for both. See http://www.prepsite.org/2014/10/bug-in-supplies.html

If you are a family, then plan with the family. In addition, each family member should understand what the plan of action entails. Moreover, you will want to stock up now on the necessary items you will need in a bug in or bug out scenario. http://www.prepsite.org/2014/10/items-for-homemade-emergency-backpack_13.html

Now is the time to take action, to devise a plan, and to stock up on necessary and even life saving items for you and your family. Check out the numerous prepping sites on line for more suggestions and to get your own ideas. Moreover, remember the plan is your plan, it should be tailored to your individual needs and the needs of your family, and only you know what those specifics are. So, get ideas but make it your own specific plan. Keep in stock the items you will need for short and even long-term scenarios.

Therefore, you do not need to be professional preppers to have a plan and to stock up but you should get that ball rolling.
