  3. Book Reviews
    This well-written and researched book was penned by the historian Douglas Brinkley who rode out the storm at a hotel in downtown New Orleans. It was written only a year after the storm which is an accomplishment because early to market books about disasters are usually hastily and poorly...

    I keep seeing this commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HJcYEmzd4A advertising ready.gov/communicate. I agree with the message....but that it's something the government is telling me to do? Every time I see it, I wonder what they know that we don't. Rubs me weird. Anyone else?

    So another thread got me thinking, and I did not want to side track it. I find it interesting that government is becoming more incompetent the bigger it gets. Our State and federal governments are bigger and spending more money then ever in the history of our country. Their ability to...

    I thought this was really well done. I know a lot of people here don't like or trust FEMA, but anytime the government tells you not to depend on the government, I consider that a good thing. I think there are a lot of young passionate Emergency Managers and such that are entering the scene and...

    I just got a phone call from my grandmother, I have recently started to help get her prepared. She lost her job recently and her $700 SS payment got cut by $200. When she called to find out why, they said she owed them $1000. No explanation, waiting on the good ol legal system now. She came...

    My wife has discussed a different sort of BOB with me. She was calling it a FEMA BOB. Her own original concept. Our regular BOBs are designed around the idea of a camping and woodlands living. They include things that FEMA probably won't allow into a shelter. Like guns and big knives. Pretty...
