Would you believe me if I told you a 135 Mph Tornado ripped through Provo? Sounds impossible right? Well, thats what the residents of Atlanta would have thought a week ago before a 135 MPH Tornado ripped through their city for the first time in recorded history. The tornado left a path of destruction 6 miles long and 200 yards wide--leaving 2 dead, 30 injured, and several homes and businesses destroyed.
Emergency Preparedness is much different than preparing for a camping trip. Though they share many things in common (checklists with food, water, flashlights, shelter, etc.) there is one important difference: You can choose when you go on that trip to the Yosemite, but you can't choose when to be temporarily displaced by a natural disaster. Just as you wouldn't think to go camping without the essentials to sustain life, don't expect to live (at least comfortably) through such a disaster (big or small) without at LEAST a 72-Hour Kit.
